Downtime

Expect mild redness and swelling for 1–2 days post-treatment, with any superficial scabbing resolving within 5–7 days — most patients return to their normal routine immediately after their session.

How It Works

The Fotona StarWalker picosecond laser shatters tattoo ink into microscopic particles using ultra-short bursts of energy, which your body then naturally clears over time — without damaging the surrounding skin.

Consultation & Planning

Every removal plan starts with an honest assessment of your tattoo, skin tone, and goals — so you leave knowing exactly what to expect before a single pulse is delivered.

Dr. Paul Denton and the whole Refine Cosmetic Surgery team are excellent experts. My upper eyelid blepharoplasty experience was very successful and I trusted Dr. Paul from beginning to the end. Highly recommending to anyone. Thank you, Refine team!

I am a 40 y/o woman and I had a surgical upper lip lift with Dr. Denton.. I am beyond pleased with the results and the entire experience.. Dr. Denton is not only skilled but has a very calm and intelligent demeanor. During my consult, I pretty much instantly felt like I could trust him and that I would be in good hands. Thanks so much, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Denton!

My last two surgeries have been done by Dr. Denton. When I say, they go above and beyond to make sure their patients are safe, comfortable, and taken care of I truly mean it.

I come from out of town to have my surgeries done at Refine Cosmetic Surgery and they truly made me feel at home. They are professional, kind, and caring.
