Expert Tattoo Removal In Connecticut
Tattoo removal with the world’s most powerful picosecond laser: PiQo4. More power means faster tattoo removal with fewer treatments.
Dr. Robert Langdon
A Pioneer In Laser Skincare
Don’t settle for generic tattoo removal from national chains. At the Langdon center we offer treatment with the widest range of laser wavelengths to cover nearly all tattoo colors.
Don’t trust your skin to laser tattoo removal by a technician or a physician assistant. Dr. Langdon has 30 years of experience with laser tattoo removal (since 1994!). He even wrote the book (Understanding Cosmetic Laser Surgery) describing how lasers work to remove tattoos.
The PICOSURE Laser
The PicoSure laser uses an ultra-short-pulse duration (measured in pisoseconds—trillionths of a second!) of laser energy to produce microscopic pressure waves that break up the ink particles into smaller fragments than was possible with older-generation lasers. The smaller ink fragments are removed more quickly by the body’s natural lymphatic system. The PicoSure also generates less heat, so patients feel less discomfort compared to that of traditional laser treatments.
If you’ve been rethinking your ink, learn more about why PicoSure tattoo removal at The Langdon Center is the best option in New Haven County, and in the towns of Guilford, Branford, Madison, Old Saybrook and anywhere else in Connecticut. In fact, we have the only PicoSure laser between Boston and New York!

The PiQo Laser
Laser tattoo removal uses specialized “Q-switched” lasers to deliver extremely short pulses of high-intensity laser light into the treated area. The tattoo ink particles absorb the laser energy, which causes the particles to break apart. The tattoo ink is shattered into smaller fragments that are then safely removed by the body’s natural elimination system. Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective method to fade and get rid of unwanted tattoos.
The first step to remove your unwanted tattoo is a detailed consultation with Dr. Langdon so he can evaluate your tattoo’s color, age, and size. Depending on these factors, he’ll determine the best laser treatment and how many sessions may be needed to remove it.

The first step to remove your unwanted tattoo is a detailed consultation with Dr. Langdon so he can evaluate your tattoo’s color, age, and size. Depending on these factors, he’ll determine the best laser treatment and how many sessions may be needed to remove it.
You’ll likely need multiple laser treatments to remove your unwanted tattoo. The laser procedure can cause some mild discomfort, and we will provide a topical numbing cream if needed. Each session typically takes an hour or less, and you’ll likely need several for optimal results.
What is Recovery Like From Laser Tattoo Removal?
You can resume your regular activities after laser tattoo removal without downtime. Patients can expect some redness and swelling in the treated area, which typically only lasts a few hours. Occasionally, there may be minor blistering.
Taking care of your skin and keeping it moisturized will help minimize side effects and speed up recovery. Dr. Langdon will give you aftercare instructions for your laser tattoo removal treatments. You’ll need to keep the treatment area clean and apply ointment daily. Patients should also protect the area from sun exposure and avoid tight-fitting clothes during recovery.
What Results Can I Expect From Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal takes multiple treatments over several weeks to fade a tattoo. Depending on the tattoo, you’ll likely need at least four treatments scheduled eight weeks apart.
Although results vary depending on the tattoo’s depth, density, color, and location, most patients find that the treated area is indistinguishable from the surrounding skin. In some cases, the skin pigment may be slightly lighter or darker. Laser tattoo removal is typically considered the most effective way to get rid of unwanted tattoos.
Am I Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Tattoos on any area of the body can be treated with our specialized tattoo removal lasers. The Langdon Center is one of the few laser centers with two of the latest generation Picosecond-range tattoo removal lasers, allowing us to offer the most efficient treatments for tattoos of any color.
Most people who have unwanted tattoos are good candidates for laser tattoo removal. Since the laser targets pigment in the skin, we may not recommend this treatment for patients with dark skin tones. During your consultation, Dr. Langdon will assess your tattoo and skin type to create a personalized treatment plan.
