Laser Tattoo Removal in Rocklin with PicoWay

If you have a tattoo you are ready to remove, laser tattoo removal in Rocklin with La Bella Vita Medi Spa’s PicoWay picosecond system offers one of the most effective and comfortable options available today. We treat patients from Rocklin, Roseville, Lincoln, and the greater Placer County area, under the medical direction of Dr. Ray Turnure, MD.

How PicoWay Removes Tattoos

PicoWay delivers energy in picosecond pulses, fast enough to shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles without relying on heat the way older lasers do. The body then clears those fragments naturally through the immune system. Because the treatment generates less heat, healing is typically faster and more comfortable than with older Q-switched technology.

Why PicoWay

PicoWay is one of the most trusted choices for laser tattoo removal in Rocklin, for several reasons:

Removes a broader range of ink colors, including blue and green, which are historically the hardest shades to clear with conventional lasers.
Treats a wider range of skin types safely, including darker and more sun-exposed skin, reducing the risk of scarring or pigment changes associated with older, heat-based lasers.
Often clears multicolored tattoos in fewer sessions than conventional Q-switched lasers.
Shorter pulse duration makes each session more comfortable and supports faster recovery between treatments.

What to Expect From Laser Tattoo Removal in Rocklin

Every tattoo responds differently depending on its size, ink density, color, and your skin type. Most patients need multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow full clearance between treatments. Your consultation is where all of this gets personalized to your specific tattoo, here is what that visit actually includes.

Pricing depends on the size and density of your tattoo, so the most accurate way to get a real quote is a clear photo showing the entire tattoo, or an in-person look at your consultation. Per-session pricing generally runs $200 to $500, with most sessions falling between $200 and $300. Most tattoos require 5 to 6 sessions for full clearance, though larger or more resistant tattoos can take up to 12.

Your Consultation: What to Expect

At your consultation, Dr. Turnure or a member of the medical team builds a treatment plan specific to your tattoo, which includes:

Fitzpatrick skin type classification, to determine the safest wavelength and settings for your skin
A review of your tattoo, including ink colors, estimated depth, and how it was originally applied, since application method affects treatment as much as size does
A discussion of your medical history, including any prior isotretinoin use, gold therapy, history of keloids, or active herpes infection
Standardized photography, to document your starting point and track progress across sessions
A personalized treatment plan, including expected session count, spacing, and pricing specific to your tattoo, along with informed consent covering risks and aftercare

If you are not ready to come in yet, sending a clear photo that shows the entire tattoo is the fastest way to get a preliminary estimate before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin tones?

Yes, laser tattoo removal in Rocklin with PicoWay is designed to treat a wide range of Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones that carry higher risk with older, heat-based lasers.

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?

Per-session pricing typically runs $200 to $500, with most sessions between $200 and $300. Cost depends on the tattoo’s size and density, so the most accurate quote comes from a clear photo showing the entire tattoo or an in-person consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies by tattoo size, ink density, color, and your skin. Most patients need 5 to 6 sessions, though larger or more heavily inked tattoos can take up to 12. Session length varies too, from as little as 10 minutes for a small tattoo to about an hour for a large one. We provide a personalized estimate at your consultation.

Does it hurt?

Laser tattoo removal is generally comparable to getting the tattoo itself: uncomfortable, but manageable. Discomfort varies by location on the body, with areas that have less natural padding tending to be more sensitive. To help with comfort, we offer topical numbing cream and a Zimmer cooling device, which delivers chilled air to the skin during treatment. For larger tattoos requiring longer sessions, Dr. Turnure, a licensed physician, can also prescribe pain medication when appropriate.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. La Bella Vita offers financing through Allē Payment Plans (powered by Cherry) and CareCredit so treatment can fit your budget. View payment options →
