Advanced Tattoo Removal Technology

The Hollywood Spectra laser by Lutronic is a highly advanced Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system designed to target and break down tattoo ink beneath the skin’s surface. This powerful device utilizes ultra-short pulses of energy and high peak power to shatter ink particles without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Proprietary HyperSurge™ Resonator and Intellibeam™ technology create a photo-acoustic effect that shatters the pigment in tattoos. This technology is comparable to PicoSure tattoo removal and effective on even black ink and large multicolored tattoos, which are notoriously difficult to remove.

The Hollywood Spectra laser is a dual-wavelength device, allowing it to effectively target a wide range of tattoo colors. This makes it possible to treat everything from simple black ink to complex, multicolored designs with precision and ease.

 

Benefits of Hollywood Spectra Tattoo Removal

  • Effective on a wide range of ink types and tattoo colors

What to Expect During Treatment

Your tattoo removal sessions begin with a consultation at U Laser Med Spa. Our experienced team will assess your tattoo and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. During the procedure, you’ll wear protective eyewear as the handpiece is moved over the tattooed area.

As the laser works, you may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band repeatedly hitting your skin, but we apply a medical-grade numbing cream before treatment to ensure your comfort. The Hollywood Spectra is also faster than most lasers to help minimize pain during treatment. 

Depending on the size of your tattoo, your procedure could take a few minutes to complete or last for up to half an hour. Afterward, a soothing gel will be applied and you’ll be sent home with aftercare instructions, which include keeping your skin protected from the sun. Your next appointment will be scheduled four to eight weeks out to allow ample time for healing. Most people undergo five to 10 sessions to achieve complete and permanent tattoo removal.

Tattoo Removal Aftercare & Recovery

One of the key benefits of the Hollywood Spectra laser is its minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild blistering in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few days. To protect your skin and optimize healing:

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry
  • Apply antibiotic ointment as directed
  • Avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Refrain from picking, scratching or rubbing the treated skin

Results are gradual and cumulative. You’ll likely notice fading after the first few sessions, with continued improvement as you progress through your treatment plan. The number of sessions required varies depending on tattoo size, ink colors and depth of placement. On average, most tattoos require five to 10 treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart for total clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

SHOW LESS

Is tattoo removal painful?

Tattoo removal may cause varying levels of discomfort and is often compared to grease splatter or a hot rubber band snapping against the skin. Before your treatment begins, we will apply medical-grade lidocaine to numb the area and help with any pain you may experience.

How long will my results last?

Your tattoos will begin to fade after a few sessions and continue to improve over the following months. The treated ink is broken down into smaller particles that will be permanently removed from the body, but this process can take time, so be patient and stick to your treatment plan.

Can I get new tattoos in treated areas?

Yes, you can get new tattoos in treated areas once you’ve achieved your desired results and have had sufficient time to heal. It’s best to wait at least six weeks after your last session, but this can vary from person to person.

Will tattoo removal leave a scar?

The Hollywood Spectra laser is designed to minimize the risk of scarring. However, some skin changes may occur, especially if your skin is prone to scarring or if the tattoo itself caused scarring. Following proper aftercare instructions can help reduce this risk.
