Whether you’re looking to remove a tattoo entirely, lighten it for a cover-up, or clear the canvas for a redesign, today’s laser technology makes it possible. Knoxville-area patients now have more options than ever when it comes to changing their ink.
Dr. Matthew Doppelt of Southeastern Dermatology offers laser tattoo removal in Knoxville using the Picofy® laser. Picofy delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break down tattoo ink into tiny particles, which the body then naturally absorbs and clears away fading or fully removing the tattoo safely and permanently.
What To Expect
Most patients require six to eight treatment sessions to fully remove a tattoo, though you’ll notice visible fading after each one. If you only need lightening for a cover-up or redesign, fewer sessions may be all it takes. Keep in mind that larger tattoos with darker, denser ink will require more sessions than smaller tattoos made with lighter colors. Picofy works on all skin types and ethnicities, and can address everything from amateur ink to high-quality professional work including tattoos on the face.
Before each session, a topical anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable. Treatment time varies by tattoo size, but there’s no downtime you can return to your normal routine the same day.
