Tattoo Removal
Duration
30 min
Laser tattoo removal using picosecond and Q-switched laser technology to fragment tattoo ink particles for clearance by the immune system. Picosecond pulses shatter ink into smaller fragments than nanosecond Q-switched systems, potentially reducing the number of sessions required for complete clearance. The DESCRIBE PFD Patch ($95 add-on) allows same-session multi-pass treatment. Available at StudioMD's SoHo and Midtown Manhattan locations.
About this treatment
Laser tattoo removal at StudioMD uses a combination of picosecond laser technology and Q-switched lasers to fragment tattoo pigment particles into fragments small enough for macrophage phagocytosis and lymphatic clearance. Conventional Q-switched lasers deliver nanosecond pulses (10⁻⁹ seconds) that shatter ink particles through photoacoustic shock wave generation. Picosecond lasers deliver pulses approximately 100 times shorter (10⁻¹² seconds), generating…
