When you were younger, that tattoo seemed like the perfect way to express yourself – but now you find yourself wishing it could vanish. The solution for tattoo removal in Spokane, WA, and Coeur d’Alene, ID, awaits you at Advanced Aesthetics. Dr. Kevin M. Johnson and his team, true to their mission, continue to provide the latest cutting-edge, minimally invasive cosmetic laser technology available.
That includes the state-of-the-art PicoWay® laser by Candela and the PicoSure® laser by Cynosure®. These cutting-edge lasers treat tattoos of every color safely and effectively in fewer treatments and can treat even the most stubborn tattoos that have previously been resistant to other lasers and treatments.
Tattoo removal with the PicoWay® laser starts at $150. Your actual and total costs will depend on your tattoo’s colors, inks, and size. Typically, multiple treatments are required for desired results. You will be given a personalized quote as part of your consultation.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
PicoSure often makes a good option for laser tattoo removal because it’s capable of producing different wavelengths for customized, complete removal. The adjustable wavelengths enable this laser to remove a variety of colors, including stubborn blue and green inks — traditionally very difficult to clear — with a high degree of safety.
The secret to PicoSure’s effectiveness is delivering energy in trillionths of a second, shattering the tiny particles that make up pigment and tattoo ink, without building up heat that can damage surrounding tissue and cause more discomfort.
The PicoSure system utilizes patented PressureWave™ technology which produces superior disruption of the tattoo ink with fewer treatments. This innovation triggers an enhanced inflammatory healing response that results in a quicker, more efficient tattoo removal without the thermal damage caused by other lasers.
With even faster impulses than the PicoSure, we are excited to share that we have acquired another top end picosecond laser, the PicoWay® by Candela. This FDA-cleared laser produces pulses so quick the skin is not heated during treatment. Ink is shattered by a photoacoustic blast that turns it into particles that the immune cells in your body can scavenge and remove. Because the PicoWay® has 3 wavelengths of laser energy, it effectively treats a wider range of tattoo colors than many other lasers, and it removes the tattoo in fewer treatments. Patients can be treated every 6 weeks. Little downtime is required.
“I went into the Coeur d’Alene office for a consultation for a tattoo removal. I have many tattoos but I have one that I decided I didn’t love. The office was beautiful and the customer service was outstanding! It hasn’t even been a full 24 hours and I already have seen my tattoo fade tremendously. I am extremely satisfied so far. Thank you so much to everyone at Advanced Aesthetics!”

Laser tattoo removal offers many benefits for our patients from Kennewick, Moses Lake, and Wenatchee, WA, and cities near Spokane:
At our practice in Coeur d’Alene, tattoo removal treatment is precisely customized depending on your tattoo’s ink and your skin’s pigmentation. We use the PicoSure and PicoWay lasers to target the ink, breaking it down into minute particles. These particles subsequently are gradually removed by your body’s natural cleansing processes.
The technology used by each of the lasers is similar. PicoSure® was the world’s first laser to use PressureWave technology, specifically targeting the tattoo ink. And now PicoWay delivers the same picosecond technology in 3 wavelengths of laser energy to remove all colors of ink and photoacoustic technology results in minimal downtime. Both of these lasers often require fewer sessions than previous older traditional lasers required.
As the laser energy is delivered into the tattoo skin, quick flashes of light energy are emitted and you will hear a snapping sound. Chilled air is used on your skin during the treatment to improve comfort. The entire tattoo is treated each time ensuring complete removal of all colors of ink. Wavelengths of light are occasionally adjusted during the treatment of future treatments as the ink removal progresses. While these treatments are quick, they do involve discomfort during the procedure (similar in intensity to receiving the original tattoo). Pain after the procedure is limited to a sunburn sensation or less. There is no need for pain medication and none is prescribed.

Dr. Johnson usually spaces the treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart and will develop a treatment protocol designed to help you get ideal tattoo removal results.
