All Tattoo Removals require a consult FIRST to evaluate the tattoo, discuss treatment, and price.
Consults can be scheduled online by clicking BOOK NOW or over the phone #(419) 606-0855.
At 186, we use the Cutera Enlighten laser for tattoo removal. It is considered a gold standard in tattoo removal because it combines two specific advanced engineering features: dual-pulse durations and multiple laser wavelengths.
Traditional lasers only use nanosecond (one-billionth of a second) pulses, but the Enlighten system utilizes both nanosecond and picosecond (one-trillionth of a second) pulse speeds.
Why the Technology is Superior
Dual-Pulse Breakdown: Nanosecond pulses break down large ink clumps first, while picosecond pulses rapidly shatter the remaining tiny ink particles into dust.
Complete Color Coverage: It features three distinct laser wavelengths to target the full spectrum of ink colors, including notoriously stubborn blues, greens, and red inks.
Fewer Treatments Needed: Because it shatters ink more thoroughly than older technology, patients generally require fewer total sessions to achieve complete clearing.
Minimal Thermal Damage: The picosecond technology relies on a mechanical "shattering" effect rather than high heat, which reduces the risk of scarring, burns, and damage to the surrounding skin tissue.
