Tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure. During San Luis Obispo County tattoo removal treatments, lasers target the ink within the skin with a high-intensity beam meant to scatter the pigment and allow your body to resorb it. For this reason, you will see the most improvement four to six weeks after your session. A PFD patch will also help extract some of the pigment at the time of your laser session. Our laser (Rohrer Aesthetics Q-switched Nd: YAG 1064 nm & 532 nm) works best on black and dark inks, but can target some colors. The hardest colors to remove are yellows, oranges, and reds.
What Is a PFD Patch, and How Can It Improve My Experience?
A PFD patch is a square of silicone infused with perfluorodecalin (PFD), a harmless liquid that allows us to treat your tattoo with our laser multiple times in a single treatment session. It helps protect the skin without disrupting the laser, allowing us to safely make multiple passes on your ink. Because of this, you often require fewer treatment sessions than those who choose not to use the patch. Often, patients also report improved comfort during their treatment sessions.
