LASER TATTOO
REMOVAL
Performed with Boise’s most advanced picosecond laser on the medical aesthetics market, The Candela Picoway:
Advanced Tech: The Picoway laser utilizes cutting-edge picosecond technology, faster than a nanosecond, to deliver ultra-short laser pulses that break down the tattoo ink into smaller particles than traditional lasers, allowing the body to flush out and eliminate the ink through its own natural processes.
Ink Removal Versatility: Stubborn ink colors such as green and blue are no match for the Picoway. Its’ broad range of wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, 730 nm) allow it to target all ink colors (with the exception of yellow) for the best possible removal results, including permanent cosmetics.
Safety: The Picoway is FDA approved and has a proven safety profile. Its picosecond pulses are administered with photoacoustic technology, verses traditional photothermal methods, which means there is minimal heat transfer, making the procedure the safest option for all skin types (Fitz 1-6). This promotes exponentially faster healing that is still toughest on tattoos and the safest option for preserving the integrity of your skin.
Highly Trained Technicians: Our two lead laser technicians are directed by our staffed Medical Director and MSN FNP-C, and are each Laser Operator Certified and Laser Safety Officers. Aside from having years of experience in skin, ink, and color science, both of our technicians have undergone extensive training with both Candela Lasers (7/29/24) and the International Laser Academy. (3/8/26). Your treatment is based on a proprietary laser protocol that dictates the laser settings used each session and is documented in your client portal with progress photos charted each time. Because of this system, our laser technicians may operate interchangeably on each client and your tattoo progress will be kept on track for the fastest possible removal regardless of which of our two technicians are providing your service that day.
Fewer Sessions: The Picoway laser can often achieve results in fewer sessions compared to other popular lasers. While some tattoos vanish after just 2-3 sessions, the average number of sessions for full tattoo removal is 6-10 for tattoos and 1-3 for permanent cosmetics. If your goal is simply to lighten the tattoo for a more achievable cover-up, fewer sessions may be necessary. Each session is spaced about 8 weeks apart for best results.
Pain Management Technology: Laser removal is most commonly described as a hot stinging sensation that’s uncomfortable but tolerable, similar to having a firm rubber band quickly and tightly snapped against your skin at fast intervals. We proudly run our laser in tandem with a Zimmer Cryo 6, which blows -30 degree Celsius air on the tattoo as it’s being removed to increase comfort and reduce inflammation and can provide extra strength numbing cream upon request. Additionally, laser removal is FAST. Small tattoos can take as little as 15 seconds per session to treat, and larger tattoos can take up to 20 minutes per session to treat.
Permanent Cosmetic Removal: We specialize in microblading/eyebrow tattooing removal, having extensive training in this very specific technique of removal. Our laser and proprietary treatment protocol can gently remove the ink in typically 1-3 sessions so that it’s either entirely gone, or light enough to pursue a Microblading cover up in a more natural style.
Clinical Studies: Numerous clinical studies and patient testimonials around the world identify the Picoway laser as the ‘Gold Standard’ of tattoo removal and support its effectiveness in vastly fading or entirely removing tattoos and permanent cosmetics. It is proudly the top choice for devices in today’s medical aesthetic industry.
Price Transparency + Affordability: No surprises, no confusing packages, no commitments. Best bang for your buck knowing you’re being treated with the best laser technology in the Treasure Valley performed by clinically-trained laser technicians with our proprietary treatment protocol. We price by tattoo size. Please see our price/size guide for full pricing transparency!
Aftercare: Expect the treated area to be red and tender for 3-10 days following the laser treatment and avoid swimming, direct sun exposure, and friction on the area for 10-14 days. Symptoms within the “normal range” of tattoo removal may include swelling, mild blistering, inflammation, redness, stinging, and itching and may last for days-weeks.
Good Works: Does your tattoo represent blatently racist or demonic imagery that no longer speaks to who you are? We won’t ask questions. We’ll remove it for free.
