DO YOU HAVE UNWANTED TATTOOS?

Living with unwanted tattoos can be troublesome. They are especially concerning if they are located on an area of your body that is seen every day. The constant reminder of tattoo regret can cause stress and anxiety, but luckily, there is a safe and effective way to remove tattoos. * At Skin Lab 419 we have helped to remove countless numbers of tattoos of various sizes and colors.

Whether you longer like your tattoo or you need it removed for professional reasons, there is no reason to live with unwanted ink on your skin. In the past, tattoo removal technology was very limited. If you wanted to get rid of a tattoo, it required multiple, painful treatments. And often, the results were less than ideal, since certain colors were more difficult to remove. Luckily, this is no longer the case. *

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OUR COMPETITORS?

Skin Lab 419 is proud to be the only shop in the area that offers the innovative service of color tattoo removal. While our competitors are limited to black ink removal, we understand that many clients have tattoos featuring vibrant colors that they may wish to remove.

HOW ARE TATTOOS REMOVED?

At Skin Lab 419, we perform tattoo removal treatments using the PicoWay laser. The procedure is similar to getting a tattoo, only they work to break down the ink into smaller particles.* The rest of the pigment is removed through your body’s own natural process. * PicoWay is safe, effective and can treat all colors of ink. *

WHAT IS THE PICOWAY LASER?

The PicoWay laser takes care of the minor imperfections present on your body – restoring your skin to the youthfulness you remember and strive to experience yet again. * PicoWay Resolve is a new technology that we’ve brought into the practice here at Skin Lab 419, that is a fractional treatment capability introduced to the advanced PicoWay laser device that takes care of benign pigmented lesions and:

HOW DOES PICOWAY WORK?

This breakthrough technology uses the shortest laser pulse available – measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) – to breakdown the pigment into the smallest particles possible.* As mentioned, the pulses treat pigmentation, skin irregularities, and the overall signs of aging.* The benefit of such short laser pulses is in the optimization of the delivery of energy to the pigmented particles which ensures that the pigmentation in question is effectively treated, while the least amount of heat gets transferred into the skin – minimizing or ultimately removing an amount of discomfort stemming from the treatment.*

Laser light is targeted at unwanted pigment in ultrashort picosecond pulses. These pulses shatter the pigment into very tiny particles which are then easily eliminated by the body’s natural processes. * The PicoWay laser emits less heat energy than traditional lasers, providing a more comfortable treatment.

HOW DOES TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?

With these high-powered, short pulses, PicoWay can also shatter tattoo ink, while leaving the outer layer of the skin intact. * PicoWay treats a broad range of tattoo colors and across a broad range of skin types and colors. Over a series of brief treatments, PicoWay can eliminate most tattoos. * That’s why PicoWay is the tattoo removal laser of choice by the team here at Skin Lab 419

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING TREATMENTS?

During your first visit, your skin’s reaction to the laser will be tested to determine the most effective treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on many factors such as the location, depth, size, and type of pigmentation. Some lesions will require several treatments for optimal results where some can be resolved in a single treatment.

Immediately following treatment, a cold or cool compress may be applied to soothe the treated area. A topical antibiotic ointment may be recommended. In the first few days, take care to avoid scrubbing the area or using abrasive skin cleansers. Over a few days the lesions will darken and sluff off. The degree of discomfort varies with each person depending on the nature and location of the pigmented lesions on the body.
