Laser Tattoo Removal

We have all made decisions that we’ve ended up regretting. For many, that decision was to get a tattoo. Fortunately, tattoos can now be safely removed with the ease of laser technology. Located in Bellevue and serving Sandusky, Fremont, and Norwalk, Ohio, Vein & Body Specialists offer effective laser tattoo removal. Our highly skilled specialists are known for providing caring, courteous, and comprehensive services.

Tattoos used to be considered permanent, but today, removing the remnants of your past is easier than ever. Laser tattoo removal using the PiQo4 laser safely and effectively removes unwanted common color tattoos, either amateur or professional, from your skin. The PiQo4 laser penetrates the skin utilizing four different wavelengths to break up the pigment colors, greatly diminishing the appearance of the tattoo.

The PiQo4 laser features the most extensive coverage area of any tattoo removal laser on the market, almost four times larger than most competitors. The PiQo4 targets both large and small tattoo particles simultaneously, breaking them into tiny particles that are naturally removed by your body via your lymphatic system. Laser tattoo removal at Vein & Body Specialists also offers the following benefits:

  • Safe and effective
  • Nonsurgical
  • Little to no discomfort
  • Fewer treatments using the PiQo4 laser
  • Does not harm surrounding skin
  • Successful at removing all ink colors
  • Can be used on light or dark skin

During the procedure, very short laser pulses are focused on your tattoo. The laser light is absorbed into the skin, causing the conversion of light energy into acoustic waves that effectively break up the ink particles, which are then naturally eliminated by your body. The PiQo4 does not use heat and only targets ink, so the skin surrounding the tattoo is not harmed. Multiple sessions are usually necessary to completely remove the appearance of the tattoo. A treatment series can range from two sessions up to 10 sessions, 6 – 8 weeks apart. Areas with greater circulation require fewer sessions.

Dr. West is really sweet, and did an awesome job on my first tattoo removal session. Highly recommend!

What is Piqo 4 Tattoo Removal?
PiQo4 tattoo removal laser technology effectively removes all common color tattoos, either amateur or professional.
How does PiQo 4 Tattoo Removal Work?
PiQo 4 tattoo removal is a new technology that targets both large and small tattoo particles simultaneously, breaking them into tiny particles that are naturally removed by your body. The laser only targets the ink, and will not harm the surrounding skin.
What is treatment with the PiQo 4 tattoo removal like?
Your practitioner will provide guidelines for before and aftercare, as well as the approximate time of the laser removal session. During your session, you will hear the laser fire as loud, audible popping sounds, then feel heat over the general area of the skin. The treated area will feel as if it were sunburned.
How old does my tattoo need to be to be treated with PiQo 4 Tattoo Removal?
Your tattoo must be a minimum of 6 months old before treatment with PiQo 4 can take place.
What should I prepare for the day of treatment with the PiQo 4 tattoo removal machine?
It is important that you have no tan on your skin. Please avoid sun exposure for up to 4 weeks prior to your treatment. Make sure you do not wear any lotion or perfume in the area to be treated. If you have a lot of hair in that area, it is advised that you shave the hair before your appointment. If you wish to have the area numbed, please come 15-30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to allow for penetration of the cream.
What can I expect after treatment of my tattoo with PiQo 4?
Immediately after PIQO4 tattoo removal treatment, you will see a whitish "frosting" over the tattoo. The skin will often swell in the area of the tattoo, accompanied by mild redness. The frosting, swelling, and redness will resolve in a matter of hours. The tattoo may crust or blister as the body repairs itself. This will resolve naturally. The tattoo will fade gradually in the following weeks as your body clears the ink.
What aftercare do I follow post-treatment with PiQo 4 Tattoo Removal?

The day of PIQO4 tattoo removal treatment, expect to apply ice or a cold compress for the first hour on and off every 20 minutes as needed. Aloe Vera may also be applied. Avoid exercising and any activity that may require perspiration that day. Avoid hot showers and harsh soaps. The treated area should be elevated above the heart. This is especially important with the lower legs/feet. Drink 8-10 glasses of water to allow the lymph system to eliminate the broken-down pigment. Do not spray tan for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Apply SPF30 or greater to the tattoo in preparation for treatment whenever in direct sunlight.

When will I see results of my tattoo removal with the PiQo 4 laser?
The number of PIQO4 tattoo removal treatments needed depends on the tattoo itself, the area of the body, and the background skin color. For the most accurate estimate of sessions, consult your practitioner for each tattoo. Location matters: The closer the tattoo is to the heart the better circulation, therefore better results. More colorful tattoos and greater surface area usually require more treatments. Amateur tattoos are typically not as deep as professional ones, and are easier to remove. A treatment series can range from 2 sessions, up to 10 sessions, and are conducted 6-8 weeks apart.
