Tattoo Removal at CosmeticsMD Using Hollywood Spectra Laser
At CosmeticsMD in Peabody, MA, our tattoo removal services are provided by highly trained Licensed Medical Aestheticians under the expert guidance of Dr. Robert Murgia, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and laser expert. This ensures that you receive the safest and most effective treatment available.
How Tattoo Removal Works
The Hollywood Spectra Laser works by emitting high-intensity pulses of light that break down the tattoo ink into smaller particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by your body's immune system over time. This laser is highly effective on various tattoo colors and skin types.
Why It Is Effective
-
Precision: The Hollywood Spectra Laser targets the ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of scarring.
-
Versatility: It can effectively treat a wide range of tattoo colors, including stubborn pigments that other lasers may struggle with.
-
Safety: With advanced cooling systems and precise control, the risk of side effects is minimized.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments required for complete tattoo removal varies depending on several factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo. On average, most patients need between 6 to 12 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
What to Expect During Treatment
During the treatment session, you will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. The laser handpiece is then moved over the tattoo, delivering quick pulses of light to the skin. You may feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser works on the tattoo, but with the pre-treatment numbing, any discomfort is significantly reduced.
Does It Hurt?
Tattoo removal can be uncomfortable, but at CosmeticsMD, we prioritize your comfort. We apply a numbing cream before each treatment to minimize pain. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
