We all make mistakes, some more permanent than others. While getting that tattoo might have seemed like a good idea at the time, maybe today it just doesn’t fit with your lifestyle. Wouldn’t it be great if you could turn your tattoo into a distant memory? What if you could restore your tattooed skin to its natural state with the most advanced lasers available for tattoo removal?
In the past, unwanted tattoos were permanent, and removing them could only be attempted through painful, often scar-inducing surgical procedures. But it’s a new day in tattoo removal. You’ll love watching your unwanted tattoo fade away, and your skin restored to its natural state with laser tattoo removal.

Today’s Best Options for Laser Tattoo Removal in New Jersey
The choice of lasers for treating your tattoo is made by our doctors depending on your skin type and the colors of your tattoo, as well as the tattoo ink, and whether any scar tissue exists around that tattoo.
Different wavelengths of laser are used so that different colors in the tattoo can be targeted during the same session. Black is included in nearly all tattoos, so we invested in the most expensive and powerful laser, the PiQo4, because it clears black tattoo ink so quickly, and is safe for all skin types.
The best laser physicians will use a combination of laser treatments to help you achieve optimal results, and invest wisely to be able to have the right tools (a selection of top-of-the-line lasers that each cost hundreds of thousands of dollars) to do the work safely and effectively.
Common Laser Treatments for Tattoo Removal
We’ve performed thousands of tattoo removals, and know which lasers will work best with your tattoo and skin type. Here are some of the common laser treatments for tattoo removal:
PiQo4
PiQo4 is the most advanced pico-second laser for tattoo removal. Offering 4 wavelengths and a wide variety of intensity and size settings for those wavelengths, the PiQo4 laser offers treatment for a wide variety of tattoo ink types and colors with safe care of darker skin tones that were previously harder to treat with pico-second technologies. PiQo4 is the most powerful pico-second laser on the market, with almost four times the power of its competitors, picoway and picosure.
This patient’s neck tattoo was gone in just 4 sessions, so we refunded her the remaining sessions in the package she had purchased.

Alex TriVantage® has pumped-laser technology renowned for it’s superior ability to treat tattoos that include greens, blues, and black. Alex TriVantage is a proven way to treat multicolor tattoos across a broad range of patient skin types.

RevLite Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is a powerful multiple wavelength system used to treat stubborn multi-color tattoos. RevLite delivers energy through the epidermis faster than the skin can react, allowing it to administer a precisely controlled amount of energy into the tattoo ink while minimizing injury to the treatment area. This system is used for patients with both light and dark skin.

Medlite C6 is an industry-standard laser for multi-colored tattoo removal, with four unique wavelengths. Medlite C6 offers our patients a great, consistent results with no downtime required. It can be used for all skin types and is the safer choice for people with darker complexions.

Fraxel Lasers
The Fraxel Re:Store Dual laser or the Fraxel CO2 Re:Pair can be used during tattoo removal to help remove any scar tissue the treatment area, allowing our doctors to use more aggressive laser settings for a faster result. It has also been thought that the Fraxel laser energy helps to breakdown the ink pigment under the skin, regardless of the color of that ink, aiding in the removal process.

Alternative Tattoo Removal Methods
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of great alternatives to laser treatment to remove tattoos. There are creams available on the market, there are abrasives, there are devices to scrape, and there are chemicals that burn the skin. These are not effective, and the scarring and loss of pigment from trying to remove a tattoo by yourself at home can make it much more difficult and sometimes even impossible to produce great results with a laser. Surgical removal is almost never recommended because of the significant chance of visible scarring. Rather than trying other tattoo removal methods, we strongly recommend consulting a cosmetic physician to discuss options.
