Frequently Asked Questions
How Does tattoo removal work?
What do you use to remove a tattoo? 207 LASER uses a state-of-the-art tattoo removal laser – the Cynosure PicoSure picosecond laser system. This advanced picosecond laser delivers ultra-short pulses of pressure wave energy to shatter tattoo ink into micro-particles with minimal side effects and faster clearance. The PicoSure laser is FDA-cleared for the removal of dermal pigmentation (tattoo ink) and represents the leading standard in laser tattoo removal technology.
How does the laser break up the tattoo ink?
Two key processes break up the ink – the pigment in your tattoo absorbs the ultra-short pulses of light energy and shatters apart through a pressure-wave effect. Rather than relying purely on heat, the picosecond speed creates an intense photomechanical impact that shatters the ink into dust-like granules.
How does the body remove the shattered ink?
Once the ink is broken down by the tattoo removal laser, the body responds by sending fluid to the area to help flush away the particles. This immune response manifests as mild swelling and redness in the treatment area. Over the following weeks and months, the shattered ink particles are naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic system. Results appear progressively, and most tattoos require multiple treatments for optimal fading or complete removal.
Why do I need multiple sessions?
Tattoos consist of multiple stacked layers of ink pigment trapped beneath the skin surface. This density prevents complete breakdown in a single session. During each session at 207 LASER, we treat the target area to break down as much ink as possible. Subsequent sessions target deeper layers as upper layers fade. Shaded areas typically fade faster due to lower ink density.
Do tattoo removal creams or injections work?
There is no clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of removal creams, which at best act as mild surface skin bleaches. Injection methods are dangerous and can cause severe chemical burns and permanent scarring by introducing corrosive acids into the skin. Medical consensus agrees that laser removal remains the safest and most effective method.
How much does tattoo removal cost?
Costs vary depending on tattoo size, ink complexity, and required sessions. Small black tattoos starting around 1″ x 1″ begin at $99 per session. We offer competitive pricing packages and multi-treatment discounts during your consultation.
How many sessions will I need to remove my tattoo?
The number of sessions depends on key factors including tattoo age, ink color, location, and ink density:
- Age: Older tattoos generally require fewer sessions than newer, densely saturated ink.
- Color: Darker pigments like black and dark blues respond quickest, while lighter tones or custom blends may require additional targeted sessions.
- Location: Areas with higher blood circulation (closer to the heart) typically clear faster than distal extremities like fingers or feet.
- Ink Density: Shading clears much faster than heavy line work or dense fill.
Will the Laser procedure scar my skin?
When performed properly with advanced picosecond technology, laser tattoo removal targets ink pigment without damaging surrounding tissue or deeper skin layers. Prior keloid scarring history will be reviewed during your clinical consultation.
What is the cost of every session?
Pricing starts as low as $99 per session depending on size tier (small, medium, or large). Custom package rates are available for larger pieces or multiple tattoos treated in the same session.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients compare the sensation to a quick rubber-band snap against the skin. Treatment times are brief—often lasting between 30 seconds and a few minutes depending on tattoo size.
What side effects might I experience?
Common temporary side effects include localized redness, slight swelling, minor pinpoint frosting, or blistering as the body responds to treatment. Detailed clinical aftercare instructions are provided following every appointment.
Are there any contraindications for tattoo removal?
Yes. Treatments are contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as well as for active autoimmune conditions affecting healing. A full medical history review is conducted prior to treatment.
Botox® & Aesthetic Injectables
How do Botox and neuromodulators work?
Botox® and neurotoxin injectables work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the brows. By limiting repetitive muscle contraction, the skin overlaying the muscle smooths out naturally.
How long do Botox results last?
Results typically begin appearing within 3 to 7 days, with full clinical onset at 14 days. Treatments generally last between 3 to 4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and follow-up maintenance sessions can be scheduled.
What is the difference between Botox and Dermal Fillers?
Botox relaxes muscle movement to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions. Dermal fillers restore lost volume, enhance facial contours (like lips, cheeks, and jawline), and fill deeper static lines by hydrating tissues from beneath the skin.
Is there downtime after getting cosmetic injections?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness, small bumps, or mild localized bruising at injection sites, which typically resolve quickly. You can resume normal daily activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise or lying flat for 4 hours post-treatment.
Rohrer Pixel8-RF Microneedling
How does Pixel8-RF Microneedling work?
The Rohrer Pixel8-RF system combines fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy with micro-needling to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production. The insulated or non-insulated micro-needles deliver controlled RF heat directly into the dermis without damaging the outer layer of skin, triggering natural tissue remodeling and skin tightening.
What skin concerns does the Pixel8-RF treat?
Pixel8-RF is highly effective for improving skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and crepey skin on both the face and body (including the neck, chest, and hands).
Is there downtime after a Pixel8-RF session?
Downtime is minimal compared to traditional ablative resurfacing. Most patients experience mild redness and light warmth (similar to a mild sunburn) for 24 to 48 hours. You can typically resume normal daily activities within 24 hours.
How many Pixel8-RF treatments will I need?
While visible improvements in skin tightness and texture appear after a single session, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal structural collagen remodeling.
Cutera® Xeo Laser & Aesthetic Treatments
What conditions does the Cutera Xeo laser treat?
The Cutera Xeo platform is a versatile laser and light system used for treating facial redness, rosacea, broken capillaries (spider veins), benign pigmented lesions (sun spots, age spots), and overall skin revitalization through non-invasive Laser Genesis.
How does laser vascular and vein treatment work?
The laser emits targeted light energy that is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in visible blood vessels. The vessel collapses and coagulates safely, after which your body’s natural immune system absorbs and clears it without harming surrounding skin tissue.
Does Cutera Xeo laser treatment hurt?
Treatments are generally well-tolerated. Most patients describe vascular or spot treatments as a brief, mild snapping sensation against the skin, which subsides quickly after each laser pulse.
Rohrer Phoenix CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing
What is Phoenix CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
The Rohrer Phoenix CO2 fractional laser delivers microscopic columns of laser light deep into the dermis to remove damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding micro-zones intact. This micro-ablative process stimulates rapid healing and deep structural collagen remodeling.
What results can I expect from Phoenix CO2 resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing yields dramatic improvements for deeper facial lines, severe sun damage, coarse skin texture, surgical and acne scarring, and overall skin tightening.
What is the recovery timeline for Phoenix CO2 treatments?
Because fractional CO2 works deep within the skin layers, plan for approximately 5 to 7 days of social downtime. You will experience mild swelling, redness, and pinpoint peeling as fresh, healthy skin forms.
Zimmer Z Wave Radial Pulse Therapy
What is Zimmer Z Wave therapy?
The Zimmer Z Wave uses high-energy acoustic radial shockwaves to stimulate tissue structure, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate lymphatic drainage in target areas.
What conditions are treated with the Zimmer Z Wave?
Z Wave is used to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, improve connective tissue elasticity, and accelerate tissue recovery and clearance when combined with body contouring or aesthetic treatments.
Does Zimmer Z Wave therapy require downtime?
No. Z Wave treatments feel like a firm acoustic massage, are completely painless, and require zero downtime.
Vitamin B12 Injections & Integrative Wellness
What are the benefits of Vitamin B12 injections?
Vitamin B12 injections assist with boosting natural daily energy, supporting metabolic function, improving mental clarity and mood, and supporting nervous system health by bypassing GI tract absorption barriers.
How often can I receive B12 injections?
Injection protocols depend on your individual health goals and clinical assessment. Many clients schedule weekly or bi-weekly visits to maintain consistent energy levels and wellness support.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal procedure
Laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft, generating heat that targets and damages the hair follicle. Treated hairs singe during treatment and shed over the subsequent 1 to 2 weeks.
Why do I need several sessions for treatment?
Hair grows in distinct cycles (anagen growth phase), and laser energy is effective only on actively growing follicles. A series of treatments scheduled at proper intervals ensures coverage across all growth cycles.
What are the side effects of the laser?
Mild perifollicular erythema (redness) or slight swelling around hair follicles typically resolves within a few hours post-treatment.
What do I do after the treatment is over?
Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 daily.
