Rethink that ink.
Whether you want a tattoo gone completely or just faded enough to cover up, our PicoSure laser breaks ink down so your body can clear it. Effective across a wide range of colors, right here on the Big Island.
Shattering ink, not skin.
A tattoo lives because ink particles are too big for your body to carry away. The PicoSure laser fires ultra-short picosecond pulses that hit those particles like a pressure wave and shatter them into a fine dust, without harming the skin around them.
Over the weeks that follow, your body naturally flushes those tiny particles away, and the tattoo fades. Because that clearing takes time, removal happens over a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Even the stubborn blues and greens.
Older lasers cleared black ink well but struggled with blues and greens, the colors people most often gave up on. The PicoSure picosecond laser was designed to break down that wider range of ink, so more of your tattoo can actually come off.
Every tattoo is different. Layered work, older ink, and certain colors can take more sessions, and results vary from person to person. We will look at your tattoo up close and set honest expectations before you commit to anything.
From regret to relief, step by step.

Laser tattoo removal questions
How much does laser tattoo removal cost in Hilo?
Cost depends on the size of the tattoo, the ink colors and density, and how many sessions your plan needs. Because tattoos fade over a series of visits, we review clear pricing at your consultation so there are no surprises. Call (808) 935-2964 or request a consultation online.
How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?
Most tattoos need a series of sessions, often several and sometimes more, spaced about six to eight weeks apart. The exact number depends on the tattoo's size, ink colors, depth, age, and your skin. We give you a realistic estimate at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe a quick snapping sensation, similar to getting the tattoo. Sessions are short, and we use comfort measures and check in with you throughout.
Can the laser remove all ink colors?
The PicoSure picosecond laser works on a wide range of ink colors, including blues and greens that were traditionally hard to clear. Some colors and older or layered tattoos take more sessions. We review what to expect for your specific tattoo at your consultation.
Will it leave a scar?
When treatment is done at the right settings and you follow the simple aftercare, scarring is uncommon. Because this is a medical treatment, your skin and suitability are reviewed by our trained aesthetic team, with physician oversight, before we begin.

Treatments are performed by our trained aesthetic team with physician oversight; a qualified provider is responsible for evaluating suitability and reviewing risks, benefits, and aftercare.
