Laser Tattoo Removal
Many people use tattoos to express themselves and style their appearance. Preferences and interests can change with time, however, and you may no longer want that tattoo you were once so excited about. If you have unwanted tattoos, the Langdon Center offers laser tattoo removal to erase your ink and restore a clean canvas.
What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Tattoos don’t have to be a lifetime commitment if you don’t want them to be. With the most cutting-edge technology, we can remove unwanted tattoos with simple laser treatments. Laser tattoo removal uses Q-switched laser devices to break down the pigment of a tattoo.
Dr. Langdon was one of the first physicians in the United States to acquire the PicoSure laser, the first of a new generation of medical lasers to deliver ultra-short pulses in the picosecond (trillionths of a second) range. Ordinary Q-switched lasers deliver pulses in nanoseconds, which is billionths of a second. Clinical studies have proven that PicoSure laser treatments typically clear tattoos in less than half the time of standard Q-switched lasers and with fewer treatments.
This dramatically increased efficacy is possible because the picosecond-range high-energy laser pulses are much better at breaking up tattoo ink particles. The smaller the ink particles, the faster the body can remove them from the skin through natural lymphatic activity.
The Langdon Center is one of the very few laser centers in the country that have two picosecond lasers for tattoo removal. We recently installed the PiQo4 laser, adding four additional laser wavelengths in the picosecond pulse range. The PiQo4 offers significantly more power than the PicoSure and enables us to treat nearly all colors of tattoo ink.
