Tattoos don't have to last a lifetime.

Our experience with laser tattoo removal treatments began in 2001. Since then, we’ve performed tens of thousands of laser treatments. The laser delivers light at incredibly fast speeds onto the skin. This laser energy, when aimed at tattoo ink, harmlessly passes through the layers of skin to disrupt the ink and break it up into tiny particles.

Once the tattoo ink is broken up, the body absorbs the ink naturally and the tattoo fades away. Each treatment does not last very long, and in most cases, is over in a matter of minutes. If you have any questions feel free to contact us anytime. All of our staff is ready to answer any questions you may have. In fact, some of them have even undergone treatments to remove their own tattoos so they understand this process on a very personal basis.

At Neoderma, our tattoo removal experts offer the PICOWAY laser system.

Neoderma treatment providers have been incorporating the PFD Patch in their laser treatments since this medical device was released in 2016. The DESCRIBE Patch is a square of silicone infused with perfluorodecalin (PFD) – a completely inert, harmless liquid that allows your medical provider to treat your tattoo several times with the laser in a single treatment session. Not only does the Patch allow up to 4X as many laser passes per visit compared to conventional laser treatment, it also helps the laser reach ink particles deep within the skin, which may be particularly beneficial for older tattoos. Because more laser passes are possible with the Patch, fewer office visits may be needed, so you save time.

BENEFITS

There are several good reasons to use the Patch:

A tattoo may clear more quickly with the Patch than without it. Because more laser passes are possible with the Patch, fewer office visits may be needed, so you save time.

The Patch absorbs laser energy that could otherwise damage your skin.

Patients experience less pain, redness, and swelling after treatment with the Patch. Less injury may mean you will be able to schedule your next treatment sooner.

MULTIPLE PASSES
When the laser passes over your tattoo for the first time, a white, frosty layer forms. Your medical provider won’t pass over this area again which means that only one laser pass per treatment.

The DESCRIBE Patch works quickly to eliminate that white/frosty layer, making it possible for the medical provider to perform multiple passes per treatment session compared to traditional laser treatment.

SKIN PROTECTION

The Patch also helps protect your skin from the heat of the laser, which may reduce the likelihood that your skin will be damaged. Less injury can translate into reduced time between treatment sessions. The Patch absorbs laser energy that could otherwise damage your skin.

The use of the DESCRIBE PFD Patch does not alter potential adverse events from those encountered with the use of lasers alone. These potential adverse events may include redness, swelling, pigmentary changes, infection, scabbing, scarring, crusting, bruising, itching, flaking, or blistering.

Patients have reported less pain, redness and swelling after treatment with the Patch. This means an overall more comfortable experience for patients who opt to use the Patch. Less injury may mean you will be able to schedule your next treatment sooner.

The Patch is an additional add-on so the cost for the Patch as well as the tattoo removal will vary depending on the size and area of the tattoo. However, because the Patch allows for up to 4x as many passes per treatment session, that means that fewer treatments may be required which could save both time and money.
