Whether your tattoo no longer reflects who you are, has faded over time, or is no longer wanted, Ross Dermatology is excited to introduce Laser Tattoo Removal using the advanced PicoWay® Laser System.

Whether your tattoo no longer reflects who you are, has faded over time, or is no longer wanted, Ross Dermatology is excited to introduce Laser Tattoo Removal using the advanced PicoWay® Laser System.

This state-of-the-art laser is designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos with fewer treatments and minimal downtime.


Not all tattoo removal lasers are created equal.

The PicoWay® Laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter tattoo ink into tiny particles that your body's natural immune system can gradually eliminate.

Because the laser delivers energy so quickly, it minimizes heat buildup in the surrounding skin, making treatments more comfortable and reducing the risk of unwanted skin damage.

Benefits include:

  • Removes unwanted tattoos with advanced picosecond technology
  • Breaks ink into smaller particles for more efficient clearance
  • Targets a wide range of ink colors
  • Safe for many skin types
  • Helps preserve healthy surrounding skin
  • Minimal downtime so you can quickly return to your routine


How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Each laser treatment targets the pigment within your tattoo while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.

  1. The PicoWay® laser breaks the ink into microscopic particles.
  2. Your body's lymphatic system naturally clears away those particles over time.
  3. The tattoo gradually fades between treatments.

Since tattoos are placed in multiple layers of skin, several sessions are typically needed to achieve optimal results.


What Tattoos Can Be Treated?

PicoWay® is effective for many types of tattoos, including:

  • Black ink tattoos
  • Many colored tattoos
  • Small and large tattoos

The number of treatments depends on several factors, including:

  • Tattoo age
  • Ink colors
  • Ink depth
  • Tattoo size
  • Location on the body
  • Individual skin type and healing response

During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized treatment plan based on your unique tattoo.


What to Expect During Treatment

Your consultation is the first step in determining whether laser tattoo removal is right for you. During your visit, we'll:

  • Evaluate your tattoo
  • Discuss your goals
  • Estimate the number of treatments needed
  • Answer any questions you may have

Most appointments are relatively quick, though treatment time varies depending on the size of the tattoo.


After Your Treatment

Following treatment, it's normal to experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness.

  • Keep the area clean and protected.
  • Avoid unnecessary sun exposure.
  • Follow your provider's aftercare instructions.
  • Allow your body time to naturally clear the treated ink between sessions.
