Tattoo Removalin Lubbock, TX
Life changes, and sometimes, so does your taste in body art. Maybe that college tribute tattoo isn’t quite your vibe anymore, or a faded design needs a refresh. Whatever your reason, Glo & Spa-rkle Aesthetics & Med Spa in Lubbock, TX, is here to help you shed the past and reveal the skin you love with advanced laser treatment using the industry-leading Picoway® laser. Our service helps clients feel confident by providing effective and transformative results. We strive to deliver the best tattoo removal Lubbock has to offer.
The Fading Project
Tattoos are permanent markings created by inserting ink into the dermis, the middle layer of your skin. Tattoo removal utilizes concentrated light energy to break down these ink particles into tiny fragments. The body’s natural immune system then recognizes these fragments as foreign invaders and eliminates them over time. This process gradually fades the tattoo, revealing your original skin underneath as the patient's body eliminates the ink particles.
There are different types of lasers used for tattoo removal, but the Picoway® laser at Glo & Spa-rkle stands out for its advanced technology. Here’s what makes Picoway® unique:
Traditional lasers deliver nanosecond (billionth of a second) pulses of light. Picoway®, however, utilizes ultra-short picosecond (trillionth of a second) pulses. These rapid pulses create a photoacoustic effect, shattering the ink particles into much smaller fragments compared to traditional lasers. This allows for more efficient removal, especially for stubborn colors.
The Picoway® laser delivers multiple wavelengths of light, targeting a broader spectrum of ink colors. This is crucial because different ink pigments absorb light at different wavelengths. With Picoway®, we can effectively target a wider range of colors, including previously treated tattoos where traditional lasers may have struggled.
Reimagine Your Ink
Laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective way to shed unwanted tattoos and transform your appearance. This treatment can boost your confidence, open doors to new career options, and give you more freedom in clothing choices. It allows you to move forward from past decisions and embrace a fresh start. Additionally, the PicoWay laser can also address signs of aging and wrinkles, promoting smoother, rejuvenated skin.
Laser tattoo removal is far superior to older methods like dermabrasion and surgical excision, which can cause scarring. It’s also more effective than creams and salabrasion, which are often ineffective or damaging.
Beyond Regret

Tattoo removal is a non-surgical procedure, so there's no downtime. Following treatment, our Lubbock tattoo removal patients can resume most daily activities, but avoid strenuous exercise or hot tubs for a few days.
