Bentkover Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Center at Saint Vincent Medical Center campus has added the latest tattoo removal technology to its arsenal.
PicoSure, developed by Cynosure, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and can remove all colors of tattoo ink, in substantially fewer treatments than a traditional laser, according to a release from the center. Bentkover Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Center at the Saint Vincent Hospital Worcester Medical Center is the only practice within Central Massachusetts to have this technology.
PicoSure utilizes ultra short pulses of laser light, focused on target tissues, which then shatters the pigmented tattoo ink. The PicoSure’s laser energy creates an intense pressure on these pockets of ink, breaking them apart upon impact, according to the release.
The number of laser tattoo removal patients has more than doubled in the last decade, with body ink being extremely common, although one in every five people will experience tattoo-remorse, according to the release.
“I regularly gets calls from people who wake up horrified to find themselves tattooed after a night out,” Bentkover said in a statement. “Additionally, we also see many patients who regret their tattoos years later and just want them gone, such as professional women who don’t want their tattoos on display at work.”
