Laser Tattoo Removal in Augusta, GA Just Got Easier!
Erase the Past with the Discovery Pico Laser System
Do you regret an old tattoo and want to get rid of it once and for all? We can help. Our experienced board-certified physician and general surgeon Dr. James C. Sherman provides the latest laser technology to erase the past. Many patients committed to a tattoo years ago and are now ready to turn a new leaf. An unwanted tattoo is like a bad memory that’s permanently lingering on your body.
The Discovery Pico Laser system not only erases new and old tattoos, the system can also be utilized to safely get rid of radiation marks, pigmented lesions, and scars leaving your skin clear and unmarked.
What can the Discovery Pico Laser System be used for?
- Elimination of tattoos (radiation ink) anywhere on the body
- Removal of new or matured tattoos
- Removal of black or multicolored tattoos
- Reduction of acne scars
- Removal of benign pigmented lesions
- Removal of radiation marks
- Improvement in skin texture, skin quality, pore size, and skin aging

The Discovery Pico laser goes beyond conventional picosecond lasers by combining the highest power possible with more wavelengths and treatment modes. The Discovery Pico Laser System can effectively treat all tattoo colors precisely and evenly. The high peak power and short pulse durations means it will fragment even the deepest pigments. The Discovery Pico Series is a second-generation picosecond Nd:YAG laser — the first of its kind. The Discovery Pico Laser System was recently launched and we are excited to offer yet another amazing technology that allows us to produce unmatched results.

Like Tattoo Colors, Not all Lasers are Created Equal
Two key considerations when selecting the right laser tattoo removal machine are the colors and how deep the ink is embedded. Not all laser tattoo removal machines emit the wavelengths necessary to target the full spectrum of pigment colors. In fact, removing light blue and green pigments is notoriously difficult.

- A complete treatment session lasts 30 minutes or less
- Multiple treatments (average of 6 to 10 sessions)

Laser Tattoo Removal Frequently Asked Questions
The newest generation of Pico Discovery Lasers offer four pulsing emission modes: Picoseconds, Nanoseconds, Opti Pulse, and Microsecond. The Picosecond pulses represent the real trump card for every patient’s needs. This device interconnects high fragmentation power for very effective treatment of tattoos and pigmentations, to fractional picosecond power for unparalleled results in acne scars and wrinkles treatments.
Many tattoo removal treatments are only effective on certain ink colors. They also frequently require many treatment sessions and are still unable to completely remove the tattoo pigment. The Discovery Pico Laser Tattoo Removal System you can have effective treatment of any color tattoo or unwanted pigmented lesion. You can expect fewer treatment sessions, faster recovery, and the best results possible without the pain of previous systems.
Multiple treatment sessions are needed to entirely remove a tattoo. Most patients will need anywhere from 3 to 10 sessions. The number of treatment sessions will depend on factors such as:
- Ink type
- Ink amount
- Ink depth
- Body location
- Age of tattoo
- Tattoo color
- Tattoo size
To make your laser tattoo removal as efficient as possible, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly both before and after your treatment. Doing so helps your body eliminate the tattoo ink as quickly as possible. Quitting smoking can also enhance the procedure and healing process. You should also protect the treated skin by using a high-quality sunscreen or avoiding sun exposure for several days after treatment.
There is some discomfort with Laser Tattoo Removal, many describe the feeling as similar to that of a snapping rubber band, but it’s tolerable and numbing cream takes most of the discomfort to a bare minimum. Dr. Sherman uses a variety of methods to help with the discomfort, including ice to keep the area cool, topical numbing creams, or sometimes even an injectable local anesthetic. It usually takes only minutes to complete each session.
