What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

This tattoo removal treatment works by speeding up the natural fading that usually occurs to tattoos over time, offering patients a proven procedure to break down pigment particles and clear skin naturally without surgical intervention. Using the most advanced laser ink removal system on the market, Allure Dermatology uses Astanza® Trinity® to remove ink from the skin.

Using this advanced system, you can customize the wavelength of the beam to match your skin tone and ink color. In 90 to 95% of tattoos, Dr. Magee can target dark ink colors by mixing two wavelengths of the Trinity®. Its unique feature is its third wavelength, which targets the remaining 5–10% of green and blue colors. Multi-wavelength technology enables this powerful system to work quickly and deliver superior results across virtually all ink colors, making it the most reliable approach for patients asking how to lighten multi-colored tattoos effectively over multiple sessions.
