PITTSBURGH TATTOO REMOVAL
At Beyond Brows, we only use the best techniques and technology to provide you premium laser tattoo removal in Pittsburgh, PA. Cutera is the industry leader in removing unwanted pigmentation and specifically designed the Enlighten 3 Laser to not only effectively remove tattoos, but also treat age spots and sun spots.
The Enlighten 3 Laser is the first machine approved by the FDA to use both nano and pico second pulse durations and we have it right here at our studio! Full tattoo removal at Beyond Brows is usually completed in just 4-6 treatments with no burning or scarring caused to the skin instead of 12-16 treatments at other facilities with older, inferior equipment. For darker tattoos we have seen it take as few as 6- 8 treatments to be completed. This means your Pittsburgh Tattoo Removal with the Enlighten 3 Laser will be efficient, cost-effective, and require 30-40% fewer treatments than the current Q-switch and Pico lasers being offered in our area.

THE ENLIGHTEN 3 LASER BY CUTERA
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
Our Pittsburgh tattoo removal service is for anyone who has a tattoo that they do not like or no longer wish to have can have laser tattoo removal! The Enlighten 3 laser has the ability to work on different skin types due to the ability to change the wavelength to target several colors during one session. Because this machine has multiple wavelengths of color, it has the ability to remove a broader range of colors, such as greens and blues that are harder to remove with older treatment technology.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We get asked a lot about what to expect during laser tattoo removal and the best answer is: it varies for each individual and each situation. We go over what to expect one-on-one with each client as it truly is a case-by-case experience. Smaller removals differ from larger removals as well as the location and how each person's body reacts to the procedure. On average, you could expect temporary mild Erethyma (redness of the skin) and tenderness at the treatment area for a few days. Rest assured, our experienced team takes great care to make the tattoo removal experience enjoyable and stress-free. We use only the highest quality equipment and techniques to ensure your comfort, safety, and satisfaction.

HEALING TIME
The healing time for laser tattoo removal with the Enlighten 3 Laser is generally 2-4 weeks and will vary on a case by case basis. On average you can expect to have redness and tenderness at the treatment area for a few days.
