Spectrum Laser Tattoo Removal
In Algonquin IL
Whether you’re ready for a fresh start or simply want to fade an old tattoo, Vigeo Care Center & Aesthetics offers professional laser tattoo removal in Algonquin, IL using the advanced Spectrum Laser System.
Our safe, effective treatments target unwanted ink—no matter the color, size, or location—with precision and minimal discomfort.
What Is Spectrum Laser Tattoo Removal?
Spectrum Laser Tattoo Removal uses high-intensity light energy to break down tattoo pigment into smaller particles that the body naturally eliminates over time.
The system is designed to treat a wide variety of tattoo colors and skin types with less risk of scarring or damage to surrounding tissue.
As sessions progress, your tattoo will gradually fade—allowing for full removal or a lightened canvas for a cover-up.
How It Works
During treatment, the Spectrum laser delivers targeted pulses of energy directly into the tattoo ink. This energy:
- Shatters ink particles deep within the skin
- Stimulates natural immune response to flush particles out
- Fades ink gradually over a series of treatments
Different wavelengths are used depending on ink color and depth, making Spectrum ideal for both dark and multicolored tattoos.
