What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive process that uses focused pulses of light to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. Once broken into smaller fragments, these particles are gradually cleared from the body through natural processes. At our Buffalo clinic, we use advanced, medical-grade laser systems including Candela PicoWay®, a picosecond laser designed for precision treatment and minimized skin impact
These technologies allow us to treat a wide range of tattoo colors and skin types with accuracy and safety, which you can see for yourself in our before and after photos.

How It Works: The Tattoo Removal Process
Each tattoo and each body responds differently to laser removal, which is why we tailor every treatment plan from the start. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation & Assessment: We evaluate your tattoo’s size, age, ink density, and your skin type to develop your personalized treatment approach.
- Treatment Sessions: During each session, the laser delivers short bursts of energy that target the ink while preserving surrounding skin. Sessions are typically quick, depending on tattoo size.
- Healing & Fading: Your body gradually flushes out the broken-down ink between treatments. We space sessions to allow for proper skin recovery and optimal fading over time.

Laser Skin Treatments in Buffalo, NY
Beyond tattoo and permanent makeup removal, Rethink also offers laser skin treatments in Buffalo for concerns like texture, fine lines, and uneven pigment. These services are available by consult so the right option can be matched to skin type, priority areas, and goals.
Acne Scar Reduction
For clients in Buffalo looking to smooth uneven texture left behind by breakouts, laser treatments can be used to soften the look of acne scarring over time. Treatment planning is based on the type of scarring and how the skin responds to energy-based treatments.
Wrinkle Reduction
If fine lines are starting to feel more noticeable, laser skin treatments can support a smoother-looking surface and more even tone. Providers tailor recommendations to the area being treated and the level of intensity that fits the skin.
Dark Spot Laser Treatment
For sun-related discoloration or lingering dark marks, dark spot laser treatment can help target unwanted pigment and improve overall clarity. At the Buffalo clinic, the consult is used to confirm what is driving the pigmentation so the approach stays controlled and appropriate.
Melasma Laser Treatment
Melasma needs a careful, case-by-case strategy, since it can be reactive and easily triggered. A consult at Rethink in Buffalo helps determine whether laser is the right option and what approach is most conservative for the skin pattern being treated.
