Age Defy Now Offers World's Most Advanced Technology for Tattoo Removal
PicoSure provides safe, effective, way to eradicate tattoos and dark spots
CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Age Defying Dermatology®, owned and operated by Dr. Rick Noodleman, has become one of the first clinics in the Bay Area to offer PicoSure, the world's only "picoseconds" aesthetic laser for tattoo removal. The treatment safely and effectively erases tattoos with fewer treatments and better results. "For years, tattoo removal has been a lengthy, painful, and all too often ineffective treatment," says Dr. Noodleman. "This is an opportunity to erase tattoo pigment more efficiently with far less recovery time. PicoSure's advanced technology is the most advanced tattoo removal treatment on the market."
Recent research shows that nearly 20 percent of the 45 million Americans with at least one tattoo regret their decision. PicoSure's PressureWave™ gently delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the tattoo ink in trillionths of a second — without injury to the surrounding skin. Unlike conventional lasers, which break ink into pebble-sized granules, PicoSure shatters the ink into tiny, dust-like particles that are easily eliminated by the body. Research shows that PicoSure works even on difficult ink colors (such as blue and green), as well as tattoos that have been treated many times before and small portions of tattoos. PicsoSure can also be used to lighten a pre-existing tattoo, so that another tattoo can be applied on top.
The treatment also works on brown (or "age" spots), freckles, and birth marks, again with no effect on surrounding tissue. PicoSure treatments last just 25 to 60 seconds and are not painful (some patients compare the sensation to that of a snapping rubber band). It typically takes several treatments to remove a tattoo, with treatments being every six weeks to avoid scarring. Dr. Noodleman recommends limiting physical activity for one or two days after a treatment, to avoid irritating the treated area. No adverse reactions have been reported with this treatment.
"We are very excited to be able to provide this service to both our patients who would like to remove a tattoo and to those with dark pigment spots on their skin," Dr. Noodleman says. "This is by far the best pigment removal treatment that has been developed to date."
