laser quote from Dr Ben TreenThe Accolade™ Laser

The Cynosure Accolade™ Alexandrite Laser is the newest development of quality-switched lasers. Undesired tattoos can now be efficiently removed without scar formation or pigmentary changes. In fact, the Accolade is so safe and effective that even pigmented lesions can be treated! The Accolade laser is non-invasive, gentle and safe because it uses a principle known as selective photothermolysis. This means that the laser targets only the tattoo ink in the skin. Adjacent tissues are unaffected by the treatment.

Accolade Laser

How It Works

The unwanted tattoo is targeted by the device which emits a beam of intense light at a specific wavelength of 755nm. The laser will shatter tattoo ink into small particles, which will be cleared by lymph drainage. The number of treatments will be determined by the quality, color and age of the tattoo. Over the course of a short series of sessions, the targeted tattoo will gradually fade then disappear.
