Tattoos are not really forever

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL NYC

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is one of the most reliable, and clinically proven ways to fade or fully clear unwanted ink. It works by delivering precisely targeted laser energy into the skin, where it breaks the tattoo pigment into particles small enough for your body to absorb, and eliminate naturally over time. Because the ink clears gradually with each visit, results build steadily across a series of sessions rather than all at once.

At Made, laser tattoo removal in NYC is performed with the Candela PicoWay, one of the most advanced picosecond laser systems available. It gives our providers precise control over wavelength, energy, and depth, which means we can treat a wide range of ink colors, and skin tones with a level of safety and comfort that older lasers cannot match.

At Made, laser tattoo removal is performed exclusively with the Candela PicoWay, the only picosecond platform with four wavelengths cleared for tattoo removal. Where traditional lasers rely on heat to break down pigment, the PicoWay delivers ultra-short pulses that create a photoacoustic effect, shattering ink into fine fragments through sound waves rather than heat. This approach clears the skin in fewer sessions, and protects the surrounding tissue from the damage associated with older nanosecond lasers. Its four wavelengths allow us to tailor every session to the specific colors, depth, and density of your tattoo.

TATTOO REMOVAL NYC

Laser tattoo removal is what clients come to us for when a tattoo no longer reflects who they are. Maybe a name, a style, or a decision from another chapter of life has stopped feeling like you, or maybe you want to fade an existing piece to make room for a cover up. Whatever brought you here, PicoWay laser tattoo removal can address tattoos of nearly any size, color, and age, including the difficult inks that older lasers struggle to touch. For clients who were once told their tattoo was too colorful or too stubborn to remove, this is often the answer.

Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?

PICOWAY LASER

The PicoWay laser is the device behind the clearest, most consistent tattoo removal results we deliver at Made. Its picosecond pulses fire in trillionths of a second, generating a shockwave that fractures ink into particles far smaller than slower lasers can produce, which gives your body less to clear, and shortens the overall process. Because that energy is photoacoustic, the PicoWay carries a lower risk of scarring, and pigment change, making it one of the safest options available for deeper skin tones.

What Makes the PicoWay Different?

Laser tattoo removal results depend on the tattoo, the ink, and your skin, which is why a thorough consultation comes before anything else. We assess your tattoo (or tattoos), talk through your goals, and give you an honest picture of how many sessions to expect, and what the process will ask of you, so you feel fully informed before you commit to a thing.

No two protocols are exactly alike, because no two tattoos are.

Our Process at Made Medical

Consultation

Your laser tattoo removal experience at Made begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your tattoo, and skin, discuss your goals, and map out a realistic plan for how many sessions your removal will likely take. Nothing happens until you are ready.

Treatment

Each PicoWay session is quick, and most clients describe the sensation as brief, and far more tolerable than they expected. We space treatments six to eight weeks apart to give your skin time to heal, and your body time to clear the fragmented ink between visits.

Results

This is where it gets satisfying. Your tattoo fades progressively with each session as your body flushes away the shattered pigment, and the final result is skin that looks clear and natural once your full course of treatment is complete.

Is laser tattoo removal safe for my skin tone?

The PicoWay is one of the safest tattoo removal lasers available for deeper skin tones, because it relies on a photoacoustic effect that carries a lower risk of pigment change than older, heat-based systems. During your consultation we assess your skin carefully, and set your treatment to protect it throughout the process.

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

Laser tattoo removal price depends on the size of your tattoo, the number of ink colors, and how many sessions your removal requires. We believe in full transparency around pricing, and will walk you through the investment during your consultation. We also offer flexible financing through Cherry and CareCredit to make treatment accessible.

How many sessions for tattoo removal will I need?

Most tattoos take several sessions to clear, often somewhere between a handful, and a dozen depending on the size, age, colors, and depth of the ink, with appointments spaced six to eight weeks apart. We give you a realistic estimate at your consultation so you know what to expect from the start.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt, and what is recovery like?

Most clients find PicoWay treatment far more comfortable than they anticipated, and because the laser is gentler than older systems, downtime stays minimal. You may notice some redness or tenderness for a short while after each session, and it settles quickly with the aftercare we provide. Recovery is one of the things we cover thoroughly before you begin.

How do I prepare for laser tattoo removal?

Preparation usually involves avoiding sun exposure on the area for several weeks beforehand, and following a short pre-treatment protocol we share once you book. We will give you everything you need well in advance of your appointment.
