Safe, Non-Invasive Tattoo Removal in Upper Arlington
Unwanted tattoos don’t have to be permanent. At Dr. D. Neal Mastruserio Dermatology, we offer advanced solutions for laser tattoo removal in Upper Arlington tailored to your unique needs. Using cutting-edge technologies, including the PicoWay laser, we target unwanted ink safely and effectively while protecting your skin. Whether you’re looking to fully remove a tattoo or lighten it for a cover-up, our personalized approach ensures comfortable treatments with noticeable results.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering concentrated bursts of light energy to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. The PicoWay laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy, known as picoseconds, to shatter the ink into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally cleared away by your body’s immune system over time.
PicoWay’s precision technology ensures effective treatment for tattoos of various sizes, colors, and types while minimizing discomfort and downtime.




Why Choose PicoWay for Tattoo Removal?
The PicoWay laser offers several benefits that set it apart from traditional laser systems:

PicoWay effectively removes even challenging ink colors, such as green and blue.

Its advanced technology is gentle enough for darker skin tones.

PicoWay’s short pulses reduce heat buildup, making treatments more comfortable.

PicoWay typically requires fewer sessions than traditional lasers to achieve desired results.

What to Expect During Laser Tattoo Removal

Consultation
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your tattoo, discuss your goals, and determine the number of treatments needed. Factors such as the size, color, and age of your tattoo will be considered in your personalized plan.

Treatment
During the procedure, the PicoWay laser emits pulses of light to target the tattoo ink without damaging the surrounding skin. Most sessions last between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the tattoo’s size and complexity.

Recovery
After treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. We’ll provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
The Path to Clearer Skin: Treatment Timelines
The number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal varies based on factors such as tattoo size, color, and location, the depth and type of ink used, and your skin type and overall health. While most patients see significant fading after the first few treatments, achieving full removal may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo and provide a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort.
