💫 You do not always have to remove a tattoo completely to change it.

One of the biggest misconceptions about laser tattoo removal is that the goal is always a blank slate. In reality, many patients come to Dr. Butterwick looking for something much more strategic: fading a tattoo just enough to make a better cover-up possible.

This process is called tattoo fading for a cover-up.

Using TotalTat³, Dr. Butterwick can often fade existing tattoo ink in fewer than three treatments, making the cover-up process more efficient and giving tattoo artists a much cleaner canvas to work with.

Why does this matter? Because trying to tattoo over very dark, saturated ink often limits what a tattoo artist can create. By fading the old tattoo first, the artist has far more flexibility with detail, contrast, and overall design.

In this case, the faded sleeve became the foundation for an entirely new Polynesian piece that would not have been achievable over the original tattoo alone.

The before and after here is not just laser removal — it is a collaboration between laser technology and tattoo artistry.

📍 Schedule a consultation with Dr. Butterwick to learn whether tattoo fading is the right first step for your next tattoo transformation.

☀️ Dr. Boen’s top 3 tips for protecting your skin this beach season:

1. Avoid peak hours — 10am to 4pm is when the UV index is at its highest. We know… worst beach timing ever.

2. Wear SPF 40 or higher — and sun protective clothing whenever possible.

3. Reapply every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating. Breakthrough burns often happen when sunscreen is applied too thin or not reapplied often enough.

It is not just about wearing sunscreen — it is about using it correctly.

📍 Schedule a consultation with Dr. Boen to learn how to protect and maintain your skin year-round.

“40 years old. Still too ashamed to take off my shirt.”

That was this patient’s response when asked how long acne had affected his life.

He started developing cystic back acne at 15 years old. By age 40, he had spent more than two decades — and tens of thousands of dollars — trying medications, treatments, and dermatology visits that never fully cleared his skin.

But what stayed with him most was not just the acne itself. It was the embarrassment that came with it.

Avoiding pools, beaches, and situations where he might need to take his shirt off. Watching other people live comfortably in their skin while feeling self-conscious about his own.

Within less than six months of Cynergy Pulse Dye Laser Treatments with Dr. Goldman, that began to change.

The Cynergy Pulse Dye Laser works by targeting acne-causing bacteria and inflammation beneath the surface of the skin as well as scaring and can be an effective option for patients who have not responded fully to traditional acne treatments.

“Dr. Goldman gave me the gift of hope.”

⚠️ Is your at-home skincare working against you?

In this video, our Medical Aesthetician Farzaneh shares why at-home skincare treatments, while tempting and cost-effective, can sometimes work against you.

Exfoliating, extractions, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microneedling, lasers, and LED light therapy should always be left in professional hands.

Farzaneh's approach is built around listening to your skin and treating it in the most effective, safe, and targeted way.

✨ Healthy skin comes from the right technique, at the right time, in the right hands.

🔍 Under-eye veins, vanished in a single session

Visible veins under the eyes can appear at any age — and because the skin in this area is so thin, even small vessels can become noticeable and create a darker or more tired appearance. They often become more visibile due to genetics, volume loss, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors.

Most doctors avoid treating veins under the eyes as they require a very specialized laser and technique.

In this Before & After, Dr. Fabi used CoolTouch Varia — a precision vascular laser designed to selectively target unwanted veins beneath the skin’s surface.

The treated vessel gradually fades as the body clears it over time, while built-in cooling helps keep the treatment comfortable throughout the procedure.

Many patients notice visible improvement after a single session with minimal downtime.

✨ Sometimes improving the appearance of the face comes down to treating a small detail precisely and conservatively.

📍 Schedule a consultation with Dr. Fabi to learn if CoolTouch Varia is right for you.

⚡ Not all laser hair removal works for every skin tone and hair color.

In this video, Leysin Fletcher, PA-C explains why customizing laser hair removal based on both skin color and hair color is essential for getting safe, effective results.

Laser hair removal works by targeting melanin, or pigment, within the hair follicle.

Because of this:

• Dark brown and black hairs usually respond best
• Blonde, gray, white, red, and very fine hairs are much more difficult to treat
• Different skin tones require different laser wavelengths for safety and effectiveness

This is why choosing the right laser matters.

Using the appropriate technology for your skin tone and hair type helps maximize hair reduction while minimizing irritation and protecting the surrounding skin.

Laser hair removal is commonly used to treat:

• Face and neck
• Underarms
• Bikini area
• Legs and arms
• Chest and back

Most patients achieve significant long-term hair reduction after a series of treatments, with minimal downtime and only temporary redness or irritation afterward.

✨ The best laser hair removal results come from customized treatment—not a one-laser-fits-all approach.
