Patients choose Laser Eraser because treatment is performed under physician oversight, not by a technician; because results are documented in our before-and-after gallery; because the experience is genuinely comfortable and supportive; because we use the PicoWay picosecond laser; and because pricing is flat-rate and transparent.
1. It is a medical procedure, so a physician runs it
The single most important reason patients choose us is safety. Laser tattoo removal is not a spa facial. It sends targeted energy into the deeper layers of your skin, and when it is done carelessly it can cause burns, blistering, scarring, and permanent changes in pigment. In an industry where powerful lasers are too often operated by non-medical staff, that risk is real.
I am Dr. Alvaro Alban. My background is emergency medicine here in New Jersey, and I pursued dedicated laser training at the Institute for Laser Medicine in Skippack, Pennsylvania. Laser Eraser is physician-led, which changes what happens in the room. Before we ever fire the laser we review your medical history, assess your skin type, and screen for anything that could complicate treatment. If your skin reacts unexpectedly, a doctor is standing right there who knows how to manage it. Patients tell us that peace of mind, plus a clean, medically focused office, is exactly why they picked us over a shop or med-spa.
2. Real, documented before-and-after results
Trust is good; proof is better. We would rather show you our work than talk about it, which is why our before-and-after gallery is one of the pages patients visit most. It shows real fading and clearance across different ink colors, skin tones, and tattoo sizes.
A story we hear often is the stalled patient. Someone spends months at another provider, sees their fading grind to a halt, and arrives frustrated and wondering whether their tattoo is stuck forever. In many of these cases we are able to restart visible progress, because the right laser and the right settings can keep breaking down ink that older equipment leaves behind. We welcome transfer patients and will honestly assess where your removal stands.
That honesty runs both ways. I will never promise a one-session miracle, because it does not exist. Instead you get a clear, realistic timeline for your specific tattoo, even when the truth is that it will take patience.
3. A comfortable, supportive experience
Almost no one looks forward to the sensation of tattoo removal; it is often compared to the snap of a rubber band. Because some discomfort is part of the process, how you are treated around it matters enormously. Patients consistently describe our team as warm, patient, and genuinely supportive from the front desk through the treatment room.
Removing a tattoo can carry emotional weight. It may mark a painful chapter, a decision you regret, or simply a source of anxiety. Our job is to make that a judgment-free experience. On the physical side, we use cooling and careful technique to minimize the sting, and patients frequently report the procedure was far more comfortable than they expected, and gentler than what they felt elsewhere.
4. The PicoWay picosecond laser
You cannot do fine work with the wrong tool. We treat exclusively with the PicoWay picosecond laser, and the difference between it and older lasers is significant. Rather than relying mainly on heat to break up ink, PicoWay delivers ultra-short pulses that create a photo-acoustic effect, essentially shattering the pigment into particles so small your body can clear them.
For you, that translates into a few practical advantages: ink shatters more thoroughly, which supports efficient clearance; treatment can be tailored more safely across a range of skin types; and stubborn colors that used to frustrate older lasers become workable. We also customize each session to your skin type and the specific ink colors in your tattoo. The same precision lets us handle delicate corrections, such as eyebrow and microblading removal, where protecting the surrounding skin is essential.
- Photo-acoustic energy shatters ink instead of relying mainly on heat
- Customized to your skin type and the specific ink colors present
- Suitable for large work, sleeves, back pieces, and delicate cosmetic tattoos
5. Flat-rate, transparent pricing
Cost matters, and surprises at checkout do not belong in a medical setting. We price removal as a single flat-rate package that covers every session your tattoo needs to reach complete removal, so you are not paying visit by visit and watching the bill climb.
Most tattoos take roughly 8 to 12 sessions to fully remove, depending on ink, placement, and skin type. Because our complete-removal package bundles all of them, patients save about 38% compared with paying per session. Packages are priced individually financing, with no hidden fees, and multiple tattoos are quoted as a custom package. The point is simple: money should not be the reason you keep a tattoo you no longer want.
| Package | Size | From |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Small | up to 1 sq in | a custom quote |
| Small | up to 4 sq in | a custom quote |
| Medium | up to 9 sq in | a custom quote |
| Large | up to 16 sq in | a custom quote |
| Extra Large | up to 25 sq in | a custom quote |
| XXL | 25 to 88 sq in | a custom quote |

Frequently asked questions
It is safer. A physician understands skin physiology, wound healing, and how to manage any reaction, which lowers the risk of scarring or pigment damage. At Laser Eraser, removal is performed under physician oversight rather than by a technician.
