Tattoo Removal

With laser technology, there is no such thing as a permanent tattoo. The PiQo4™ is considered to be one of the premier lasers for tattoo removal, working to penetrate the skin and destroy tattoo ink. The PiQo4™ laser system utilizes four wavelengths to target the most common tattoo ink colors for dramatic results.

Pulses of laser energy work to effectively break the ink down into tiny particles. These ink particles are then gradually filtered out by the body. The non-surgical procedure is fully customized for the individual, providing a more effective and efficient process. The PiQo4™ has shown to help diminish tattoo ink on a variety of skin tones, even darker skin. Multiple treatment sessions are necessary to completely eradicate the appearance of the tattoo.
