FAQ
Am I a good candidate for laser tattoo removal?
Because the laser tattoo removal procedure relies on the detection of pigment, it is most effective where there is a contrast between the colour of the ink and skin colour.
As a result, those with fair to medium skin experience greater success and can be treated safely and effectively using our laser technology.
Individuals with darker skin run the risk of hyperpigmentation, a condition which leaves light or white patches on the skin.
Every tattoo is unique containing different colours, different volumes of ink, and different types of ink. Additionally, each individual has their own unique skin type and skincare regiment. To help minimize scarring use Revoderm Advanced Silicone Scar Gel after your tattoo removal.
How are tattoos removed?
At Derm.ca our treatment of choice is PicoSure Laser, a breakthrough laser technology and the first and only picosecond laser used for tattoo removal. Operating at speeds measured in trillions of a second, no other laser device comes close.
In the past, a technology called Q-Switch lasers were the only alternative for effective laser tattoo removal. This technology is based on delivering pulsating heated energy at one billionth of a second, which is now considered slow by industry standards.
At that speed, Q-Switch devices tend to burn the skin and leave areas of discoloration.
On the other hand, the PicoSure Laser, 9 years in the making, is the greatest advancement in laser tattoo removal technology to enter the market in many years. The PicoSure device delivers energy at a speed of 1 picosecond or one trillionth of a second – much faster than its Q-Switch counterpart.
Due to this shortened time frame, the PicoSure Laser is highly effective and will not burn the skin or leave discoloration.
Can you fix, enhance, or replace tattoos?
At Derm.ca we do more than just remove tattoos. In fact, we are seeing a growing number of patients request that existing tattoos be fixed or faded allowing their tattoo artist to either replace the existing tattoo or enhance it.
Additionally, we perform eyebrow tattoo correction procedures for individuals who are unhappy with their current eyebrow tattoos or just want a different look.

“How stupid was I? Just after high school I had the name of my girlfriend tattooed on my forearm and broke up shortly after. Having just turned 40, I explored ways of getting it removed and found Ildiko and Ken at Derm.ca. After a few short and relatively painless sessions the tattoo and all the bad memories are now gone. Thanks, guys."
