For Immediate Release:
Celebrate the Tattoos you Love and Clear the Ones you Regret with PicoSure® on National Tattoo Day July 17th 2014 at RL Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa
Vernon Hills, IL, July 16, 2014– For those who harbor tattoo regret stemming from outdated art, a messy job, or a symbolic gesture that has lost its significance, National Tattoo Day on Thursday, July 17 will be your chance to start fresh with a clean canvas. Whether the goal is to clean up the lines of an existing tattoo or totally remove it, RL Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa, office of Dr. Daniel Ritacca can help you with the assistance of the first FDA-cleared picosecond aesthetic laser, PicoSure®. Recognized as the first significant improvement in the treatment of tattoo removal in over 20 years, PicoSure can effectively erase tattoos with fewer treatments and better results.
“Just like a relationship, tattoo trends can easily come and go, leaving one wondering years later what the reason, or lack thereof, of getting the tattoo in the first place,” states Dr. Ritacca. “Some people ask to remove all traces of ink, while others choose to cover it up with another tattoo and come in for laser treatments to clean up what can’t be covered.
An unparalleled breakthrough in tattoo removal technology, PicoSure’s PressureWave™ gently delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the tattoo ink in trillionths of a second without injury to the surrounding skin. This shatters the ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body. Based on physician studies1,2 PicoSure has proven efficacy on difficult ink colors, as well as previously-treated tattoos, for better clearance with fewer laser treatments and improved recovery time.
According to The America Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more Americans received tattoo removal treatment in 2013 than in past years. Up by 11% in 2013, tattoo removal has also seen a boost from different age groups as more American adults marked their middle age by trading out their old tattoos. PicoSure has made tattoo removal faster1,2 so if you are looking to clear your existing tattoo in efforts to celebrate a new one call 847-367-8815 to learn how PicoSure can help you clear your canvas.
