Safely Remove Unwanted Tattoos

Our medical spa offers state-of-the-art tattoo removal using Cutera’s Enlighten III laser system, combining 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths to effectively treat tattoos of all colors while protecting surrounding skin.

How It Works

The Q-switched laser delivers ultra-short pulses that break tattoo ink particles into tiny fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system. Multiple sessions are typically needed for complete removal.
