Safe, Precise, Professional Treatment and Backed by Spectra Laser Technology
Laser tattoo removal removes unwanted ink using precise laser energy that breaks pigment particles in the skin. Over time, the body naturally clears these fragments, fading the tattoo layer by layer.
At River Oaks Galleria (ROG) Med Spa in Houston, we use the Hollywood Spectra Laser, one of the most advanced systems for both tattoo removal and aesthetic treatments. It’s the same trusted device behind the sought-after Hollywood Laser Peel and Hollywood Peels, delivering consistent, gentle, and effective results for all skin tones.
In addition to our industry-leading laser technology, ROG Medspa now offers the PFD Silicone Tattoo Removal Patch, an innovative accessory that enhances comfort, efficiency, and results during treatment.
Every session is performed by trained professionals under medical supervision, ensuring safety, accuracy, and visible improvement with each visit. Contact us today to learn more!
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal uses targeted light pulses to fragment ink beneath the skin. The laser passes through the surface without damaging surrounding tissue. The pigment absorbs the light, breaks down, and is processed by the body’s immune system over several weeks.
This treatment replaces older removal methods like dermabrasion and chemical peeling, which often left scars. Instead, laser technology focuses on the pigment only. The surrounding skin remains intact. ROG Med Spa uses precise, FDA-cleared equipment that allows safe treatment for both light and dark skin tones. Settings are customized based on ink color, depth, and tattoo age, ensuring steady fading and natural skin recovery. Traditional laser treatments sometimes require waiting between passes because of temporary whitening (“frosting”) on the skin. The PFD Patch helps resolve this, allowing more effective treatment in a single session.
Introducing the PFD Silicone Tattoo Removal Patch
We’re proud to offer the PFD Silicone Tattoo Removal Patch as part of our laser tattoo removal service in Houston. This FDA-cleared patch is a medical-grade silicone device infused with perfluorodecalin (PFD) — a safe, inert optical clearing agent used specifically to enhance laser tattoo removal.
How the PFD Patch Works
During laser treatment, energy breaks up ink particles but also creates microbubbles that cause skin whitening. This whitening can limit how many times the laser can pass over the same area in one session. The PFD Patch rapidly clears these microbubbles and improves optical access to tattoo pigment, allowing more treatment passes while maintaining comfort and safety.
Benefits of PFD Patch-Assisted Tattoo Removal
Faster Tattoo Fading & More Efficient Treatments
The PFD Patch allows clinicians to perform multiple laser passes in a single session — often 3–4x more than traditional methods. This can accelerate ink breakdown and may reduce the total number of sessions you need.
Reduced Thermal Stress & Improved Comfort
Research shows that the PFD Patch can limit skin temperature rise during treatment, which may reduce heat-related irritation and improve overall comfort during laser tattoo removal.Enhanced Tolerability & Healing
Patients treated with the PFD Patch in clinical studies have reported fewer and less severe skin reactions — such as redness and swelling — compared to conventional treatments.Safe for Different Ink Colors & Skin Types
The patch has been cleared for use with a variety of laser wavelengths, making it suitable for black, colored, and multicolored tattoos. It can be used safely across diverse skin tones.
What Should You Expect During a Laser Tattoo Removal Session?
- Every session begins with a consultation to assess your tattoo’s color, age, and placement.
- PFD Patch Application is used when appropriate to improve efficiency and comfort.
- Once your plan is ready, a topical numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort.
- During the treatment, our specialist moves the laser device over the tattoo in quick passes. Clients often describe the sensation as a series of light snaps or warmth against the skin.
- Immediately after treatment, the area may appear white or “frosted,” followed by mild redness or swelling. These are normal signs that pigment has reacted to the laser energy.
- We apply a soothing ointment and provide clear aftercare instructions to support quick healing.
Each tattoo removal plan includes multiple sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. This timing allows the body to naturally clear pigment while the skin fully recovers between visits.
