Laser Tattoo Removal

Multi-laser tattoo removal using Q-switched Nd-YAG, PicoSure picosecond, Pico Plus, Fraxel, and Ruby laser platforms to clear tattoos of all colours on all skin types. Different lasers target different ink pigment wavelengths, enabling effective removal of dark, coloured, and difficult multi-colour tattoos. Three to twelve sessions required depending on ink density, depth, and colours. Zimmer Chiller minimises discomfort. Sessions run five to thirty minutes.

Skinly Aesthetics operates one of the most comprehensive multi-laser tattoo removal programmes in New York City, with access to five distinct laser platforms that collectively address the full spectrum of tattoo ink colours and skin types. Effective tattoo removal requires matching the laser wavelength to the target ink colour — a single laser type can address only a subset of pigments, making a multi-laser approach essential for complex or multi-colour tattoos. The Q-switched Nd-YAG laser (1064nm and 532nm dual wavelength) is the workhorse of the programme: 1064nm effectively targets dark blue, black, and dark green inks; 532nm targets red, orange, and warm-toned pigments. PicoSure (755nm alexandrite picosecond laser) uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to generate photoacoustic shockwave fragmentation of ink particles rather than photothermal destruction, shattering pigment into vastly smaller particles that the lymphatic system clears more rapidly — this makes picosecond technology associated with fewer sessions and lower risk of hypopigmentation than nanosecond Q-switch devices, particularly for previously treated tattoos and recalcitrant inks. Pico Plus (532nm, 595nm, 660nm, 1064nm picosecond multi-wavelength) extends picosecond coverage across a broader wavelength range, including the 660nm wavelength that targets difficult teal and green inks that Q-switch and standard PicoSure struggle to clear. The Ruby laser (694nm) offers a dedicated wavelength for blue-green and teal inks, and the Fraxel contributes additional scar treatment capacity for skin texture irregularities that remain after ink clearance. Zimmer Cryo air cooling chills the skin surface before, during, and after laser pulses to minimise thermal discomfort. Sessions run five to fifteen minutes active laser time, plus twenty-five to thirty minutes for numbing cream preparation. Total clearance requires three to twelve sessions depending on professional versus amateur tattoo, ink density, depth, skin type, and immune clearance efficiency.
