Laser Tattoo Removal

When a tattoo is applied, a needle deposits ink particles into the skin’s dermis layer. Upon insertion, your immune system recognizes the ink particles as foreign material and sends bacteria-eating cells called macrophages to absorb and remove them. The macrophages dispose of the ink through the lymphatic system to be naturally processed and cleared.

However, the macrophages are significantly smaller than the ink particles, which makes removing the tattoo all at once tricky. Instead, your immune system continuously sends macrophages to chip away small ink fragments over time, which explains why tattoos gradually fade and lose color but are generally permanent.

Laser tattoo removal speeds up this natural fading process by breaking down the large ink particles into nanoparticles which are easier for the macrophages to absorb. Our Asclepion PicoStar^® and Eternity^TSR lasers emit quick pulses of light energy onto the unwanted tattoo during a laser treatment. The ink particles absorb the light energy, heat up, and shatter into tiny fragments flushed out through the lymphatic system.

Every customer will need multiple treatments to achieve significant fading and complete removal. Each laser treatment breaks up numerous layers of ink in the tattoo, causing your tattoo to fade more until your desired goal is reached.

Coastal Laser Center uses industry-leading technology to ensure our clients receive the fastest, most successful laser tattoo removal results. We use the Asclepion PicoStar^®, backed by Astanza, and the Astanza Eternity^TSR laser systems, to administer our tattoo removal procedures. The PicoStar^® and Eternity^TSR are both FDA-cleared laser systems that provide the power of picosecond and Q-switched ruby laser technology.

Our cutting-edge lasers produce a total of three wavelengths to eliminate all tattoo colors safely from any skin type:

• 1064 nm: black, brown, and dark blue inks
• 532 nm: red, orange, yellow, and violet inks
• 694 nm: vivid blue, turquoise, teal, and bright green inks

With this combination of wavelengths, we have full-spectrum capabilities and can treat all multicolored tattoos, including resistant green and blue pigments, setting Coastal Laser Center apart from our competitors. As a result, this technology is trusted by leading laser tattoo removal providers, medical spas,

physicians, and tattoo shops worldwide. In addition, the PicoStar^® and Eternity^TSR are both widely regarded as the industry’s safest and most effective pico and ruby Q-switched tattoo removal lasers.

The standout benefit of this picosecond laser is its incredibly short energy pulses, resulting in significantly reduced discomfort during treatments. Furthermore, the laser’s high-speed pulse duration and high pulse energy generate extreme peak power, fading ink faster than our competitors and making it easier for our clients to get results.

At Coastal Laser Center, we are dedicated to providing the safest, most efficient, and most effective laser treatments possible, and with the PicoStar^® and Eternity^TSR lasers, we achieve precisely that! Our knowledgeable certified laser techs and our revolutionary Astanza laser equipment make Coastal Laser Center Newport News’ the #1 destination for all your tattoo removal needs.
