ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortson Dermatology & Skin Care Center, the office of Dr. Jayne Fortson, is the only office in Alaska and one of the first within the country to offer PicoSure, the world's only picosecond aesthetic laser for tattoo removal. This novel laser technology safely and more effectively erases tattoos with fewer treatments and better results. Even tattoos that have been treated previously but failed to clear can be removed with PicoSure's patented PressureWave™ technology. 

"This is an opportunity to erase tattoo pigment more efficiently with far less recovery time" states Dr. Fortson. "After evaluating the treatment and clinical evidence, there's no question that PicoSure allows my practice to offer our patients the most advanced and effective tattoo removal treatment available."

An unparalleled breakthrough in tattoo removal technology, PicoSure's PressureWave technology gently shatters the ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body. Based on physician studies^1,2 PicoSure has made tattoo removal faster and safer with proven efficacy for the removal of difficult ink colors, as well as previously-treated tattoos.

Learn how PicoSure can help shatter the past and reveal your skin's new future at Fortson Dermatology's upcoming Open House event on Wednesday May 22^nd from 5-8pm. RSVP by calling 907-563-3204.
