A Message From Dr. James E. Murphy

“This is an opportunity to erase tattoo pigment more efficiently with far less recovery time. After evaluating the treatment and clinicals, there’s no question that PicoSure® advanced technology provides us with the most advanced tattoo removal treatment on the market. We have been treating tattoos for several years now with the RevLite SI Laser, which has been the best Q-switch laser on the market, until now.”Dr. James E. Murphy

Rethinking Tattoo Removal Possibilities

PicoSure Pressure Wave is an unparalleled breakthrough in tattoo removal technology, gently delivering ultrashort pulses of energy to tattoo ink in trillionths of a second. This shatters the ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body with no injury to the surrounding skin. Based on physicians’ studies, PicoSure has proven efficacy on difficult ink colors and previously treated tattoos. This means your tattooed skin can experience better clearance of pigments with fewer laser treatments and less recovery time.

5 Stars for James E. Murphy, MD

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal With PicoSure

  • More effective than older laser treatments, meaning fewer appointments to remove tattooed pigments.
  • The laser encourages collagen and elastin to grow, which can result in smoother skin after healing.
  • The laser stimulates your lymphatic system to flush away ink molecules.
  • Older treatments had trouble with bright ink colors. PicoSure successfully breaks up fluorescent ink and black pigments.
  • The laser is lightning fast, so ink removal appointments can be over in about 10 minutes.
  • Less skin is affected by the laser, as it is precisely targeted. Patients say the removal process hurts less than getting the tattoo.

Is Laser Removal Pain Intense?

Not at all. The tattoo removal procedure is made virtually pain-free thanks to our Zimmer chiller tool, which blasts chilled air onto the tattoo during treatment. A cooling, numbing gel can also be applied to the area for your comfort. Some patients say the laser feels like the quick snap of a rubber band.

Worried About Tattoo Removal Costs?

We Accept Financing

Tattoo removal is considered a cosmetic procedure, so most insurance companies won’t cover it. Should out-of-pocket fees for tattoo removal concern you, we offer in-office payment plans and work with various trusted financing companies such as CareCredit®. We want to make the cosmetic services you need as affordable as possible.

Can I Get a Tattoo in the Same Spot Again?

Yes, it’s okay to get a new tattoo in the same spot after laser tattoo removal. However, you should wait at least six weeks after your final laser session to ensure your skin has fully healed. Many of our tattoo removal patients go on to get new ink that they feel is a better reflection of who they are. If you’re interested in the same, we can use laser tattoo removal to safely create a blank slate.

We are offering complimentary surgical consultations in September!
