Do you have a tattoo or tattoos that you are no longer happy with? Perhaps you liked the design when you originally chose it, but now it is no longer your taste? Or perhaps it is no longer meaningful. Whatever the reason, you do not have to live with that unwanted tattoo thanks to laser tattoo removal! At Grand Pearl Spa, we offer PicoSure® laser tattoo removal to safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos of all colors.
This treatment works by using a laser to break up the tattoo ink, which is then absorbed by the body. While you may need multiple sessions to completely eliminate your tattoo, the good news is that the results are long-lasting, so you no longer have to live with unwanted ink.

How does laser tattoo removal work at Grand Pearl Spa?
At Grand Pearl Spa, laser tattoo removal works by breaking down the ink in the skin. Once the ink is broken down enough, the body can absorb the ink particles and then completely eliminate the tattoo. That said, it can take multiple treatment sessions to fully remove the tattoo.
What is the PicoSure laser, and why is it used for tattoo removal?
The PicoSure laser uses picosecond technology. With the ultra-short picosecond laser pulses, the laser treatment can target specific areas of pigmentation, skin imperfections, and tattoos. It’s used for tattoos because it can easily break down the ink into very small particles to make it much easier for the body to absorb. PicoSure also allows for fewer treatment sessions and reduces the risk of skin damage and scarring.
How many sessions are typically needed to remove a tattoo?
How many treatment sessions you require will depend on the color, depth, size, and age of the tattoo. That said, most tattoos need 3-6 treatment sessions to fully remove.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt, and what pain management options are available?
For most patients, PicoSure is far less uncomfortable than other laser treatment options. That said, there are a variety of pain management options you can take advantage of. Topical numbing creams, ice packs, and over-the-counter pain relievers can all ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
What are the potential side effects or risks of laser tattoo removal?
Redness, swelling, blistering, scabbing, and pigmentation issues are also possible side effects of laser tattoo removal. Most of these side effects are temporary.
Can all ink colors be effectively removed with the PicoSure laser?
Yes, PicoSure is effective at removing all ink colors. However, some colors may need multiple treatment sessions to completely erase them.
How should I care for my skin after a laser tattoo removal session?
After your laser tattoo removal session, you’ll want to gently wash the area with mild soap and water 1-2 times a day. You’ll also want to avoid excess sun exposure, use cold compresses, and avoid strenuous activities for the first few days.
Will laser tattoo removal leave a scar or affect my skin’s texture?
The PicoSure laser doesn’t usually cause scarring or affect the skin’s texture. Because the laser targets very specific areas and doesn’t affect the surrounding tissue, the risk of scarring is much lower than with other laser treatments.
What factors influence the cost of laser tattoo removal at Grand Pearl Spa?
The color, size, ink colors, and age of the tattoo will all affect the cost of laser tattoo removal at Grand Pearl Spa. Your skin type and the number of sessions are also factored into the cost.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types and tones?
The PicoSure laser is safe for all skin types and skin tones. While most laser treatments don’t work for darker skin tones, that’s not the case with PicoSure. The picosecond pulse minimizes the risk of hyper- and hypopigmentation issues.
