The Smart Skin Difference:
Healing is important
We do everything from mohs surgery to treating the most painful rashes and ulcers. We are skin healing experts. Tattoo removal healing can quickly go in the wrong direction if handled inappropriately.
All types of tattoos
Many “tattoo removal specialists” will refer to us when they encounter permanent makeup, amateur tattoos, traumatic tattoos, and ink that changes colors. The truth is that tattoos are the absolute hardest pigment to lift from the skin. Trust the name who others refer too when it needs an expert.
Comprehensive Technologies
We have access to a full range of treatment options. We have solutions to all needs and won’t be subject to recommending something just because that’s what we have like most practices.
Dermatologists are Skin Specialists
We know everything there is to know about skin. This allows us to go beyond what can be achieved at a spa or plastic surgeon’s office to give you the best recommendations for your goals.
Patients for Life Transparency
We want patients for life, not for one round of treatment. This means we won’t sell you on hopes and dreams. Seeking out cosmetic intervention is hard enough without the car salesman approach. We promise to provide options to meet you where you are at and retain you for life.
Demystifying Picoway® Tattoo Removal:
- Is it painful?
Yes. Just like getting a tattoo hurts so does having it removed. Patients will have options such as topical numbing cream, lidocaine injection, even oral anesthesia options if pain is a concern. - How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on tattoo size, color, depth, type of ink used, type of tattoo gun used, and the area of the body. As little as 6 sessions but as many as 15+. - Is it expensive?
It can be based on the number of sessions needed. What looks worse than a bad tattoo? A bad tattoo that is partially removed. Many patients stop treatments because they were not properly consulted on number of treatments. - What results can I expect?
Significant fading, often complete removal, of most tattoo colors, including stubborn blues and greens.

Similar Treatments on the Market:
- Q-Switch Laser Tattoo Removal. This was the standard 5-10 years ago. New pico lasers fire 100 times faster meaning more pigment removal with less side effects. Q-switch lasers work, but will frequently blister and scar. Others still use this technology because Pico lasers are the most expensive lasers money can buy.
- Microneedling plus (insert fad here). Like we said before, Tattoo removal is the hardest pigment in skin to remove. Our opinion is that this is snake oil.
- Tattoo Removal Creams. Don’t fall for this.
Possible Side Effects:
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising
- Temporary scabbing or crusting
- Hypopigmentation (lighter skin) or hyperpigmentation (darker skin) in rare cases
