Non-Invasive Laser Tattoo Removal Techniques in Culver City
It is estimated that in the United States, approximately 17% of people with tattoos experience some regret. Once considered permanent, it is now possible to remove or fade tattoos non-invasively using Q-switched lasers.

How Does it Work?

The thousand of particles of ink that make up a tattoo are ‘permanent’ because they are too large to be absorbed into the body. Q-switched lasers react with these suspended particles of ink and fragment them into much smaller particles. Once the ink has been broken down, the smaller particles can be re-absorbed into the body and removed by natural body processes.

What Types and Colors of Tattoos Can Be Treated?

Each color in a tattoo has a pigment with a specific light absorption spectra. A tattoo laser emits energy within the given absorption spectrum of the pigment to address the color of ink being targeted.

Several colors of laser light (measured as wavelengths of laser energy) are used for tattoo removal, and vary from visible light to near-infrared radiation. The ability to use different wavelengths makes it possible to treat and fade a variety of tattoo ink colors.

Certain tattoo pigments, such as yellows, greens and fluorescent inks are more challenging to treat than darker blacks and blues. These lighter colors have absorption spectra that fall outside or on the edge of the emission spectra available in tattoo removal lasers.

Since most tattoos are comprised of multiple colors, they usually require the use of two or more laser wavelengths.

How Many Treatments Are Required?

The number of treatments required to adequately fade or remove a tattoo vary with each individual and depend on:

The size, color(s) and location of the tattoo
The amount of ink that was used and/or layering
Scarring or tissue change
Skin type
The goal of each patient (for example, fading a tattoo takes less time than compete removal)

In most cases, multiple treatments are required to sufficiently break up the ink in the tattoo. Treatments are typically spaced at least eight weeks apart so that the particles of ink that have been fragmented during each laser treatment can be absorbed by the body in the following weeks. The bottom line: Tattoos are lightened over time.

Tattoos located on the extremities, such as the ankle, generally take longest.

How to Get the Best Possible Results with Laser Tattoo Removal

Multiple factors contribute to the outcome of laser tattoo removal, one of which is a patient’s own immune system. A healthy patient will usually get the quickest and best results since their body is better able to absorb and excrete the ink that has been broken down by the laser. To help you achieve the best possible results, we recommend adequate hydration, eight hours of sleep each night, maintaining a healthy weight, a well balanced diet, exercise, and not smoking to help improve results.

At Cosmetique, we go to great lengths to make sure you laser tattoo removal experience is a successful one. If you may have any questions, please call us at (310) 837-5555.

Dr. Sarshad is excellent, and I highly recommend him. He makes recommendations based on his expertise but he never pushes or tries to upsell. His staff is great, too, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been going a couple of times a year for several years now to Cosmetique for facial filler. I am always happy with the results. Subtle yet effective. The staff are excellent and accommodating. Dr Sarshad is quite knowledgeable and personable. Wouldn't dream of going any where else.

This is a gem of a medical spa in Culver City. There aren't enough stars for Dr Sarshad Ramin, Rose and staff they are kind and caring. My blood pressure was through the roof and I had not been to my MD since the pandemic. The Dr told me to go to my MD or the ER asap. My SM Dr recently retired and I had to search for a new one, Since then he has helped me lower my blood pressure and literally saved my life. The menu at Cosmetique Aesthetics has everything to look better and feel better - from IVs, weight loss options, injections and surgery.

Dr. Sarshad has been lovely to work with! I just received my first chemical peel 3 days ago, and so far the experience has been great. I’m excited to see the results on my hyperpigmentation. I really appreciate how communicative Dr. Sarshad has been, very accessible and helpful for all of my questions. I’m confident I made the right choice in choosing Cosmetique for my skin journey. Stay tuned for before and afters which I may add to my review later — woot!

Visits never disappoint, I feel rejuvenated every time after treatment. The team is friendly, professional and very informative. I also like that they are punctual, this is not one of those doctor’s offices that give you an appointment then make you wait forever to see the doctor once you get there! Highly recommended!

To begin with let’s start off with how careful and respectful the doctor and staff are. They make sure you feel welcomed and safe. I came in for dermal filler for my lips and came out looking so good and very happy. I actually went somewhere else before coming here and it was the worst they left them so bad and didn’t know if there were going to be able to fix them. Luckily Dr. Sarshad was able to fix them and make them look good as new. Words wouldn’t explain how happy I am of my results. Thank you!

i’ve been visiting Dr Sarshad for at least 10 years and I’ve consistently been happy with my results and his workmanship when it comes to natural-looking botox and fillers. (And i am very picky about my appearance, just ask him!) He is also honest and doesn’t rush. I absolutely recommend!

I have been coming to Cosmetique for years and would never go anywhere else. From the professional staff that feels like your best friend to the very knowledgeable doctor who always has the latest in technology available, I just love it here. The staff and doctor are truly invested in their patients with constant follow-up and wellness checks after procedures. As soon as you walk in you instantly feel like you are not just another appointment on their calendar for the day, you are family. I had severe melasma covering 1/2 of my face. It had gotten so bad I didn”t want to leave the house without a mask of makeup to cover the dark splotches all over my face. Dr. Sarshad started me on a 6 month program. I am 3 months in and my skin looks so good now, I can leave the house confidently with no makeup. I also get dysport injections for the wrinkles in my forehead. I instantly look and feel 10 years younger! This office has improved my quality of life and mental health so significantly, they are my angels of self care.

This was my first time doing a specific procedure and Dr. Sarshad was patient, calming and kind. The results are fantastic. I look younger and much better but in a natural way that no one will be able to pinpoint. I will be returning and will refer everyone I know as well! Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience at Cosmetique and highly recommend seeing Dr. Sarshad! I have TMJ and was told by my dentist and oral surgeon to do get botox for my jaw, specifically my masseter muscles. I've had this done 4 times now with varying results - it really matters who you see and this is a great place for it.Dr. Sarshad was amazing and my results were wonderful! I expressed my concerns from a past experience somewhere else, he put me at ease as he talked me through his process, evaluated my jaw muscles and administered the botox. I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Sarshad checked in with me a couple weeks later to make sure things were set in and I was happy with the results - which I was :)

I have been coming here for a couple of months once a week now for weight loss management & treatment and I am already so happy with my results and the journey I am on. The doctor and his staff are fantastic. I feel great from the inside out!!! I am seeing very consistent results. I also appreciate the hormone testing and finding ways to get to the route of what is going on in my body. They take that very seriously unlike past doctors or nutritionists I have experience. Speaking of, I get great nutritional tips from the doctor and Rose on his team that have truly helped me. It's truly life changing. It really clicked for me in terms of changing my dietary habits. I also appreciate that the first time I came in they asked me straight up if I would like to know the number how much I weigh. They are very aware of the sensitive nature of it which I feel like 99 percent of doctor's offices do not fully comprehend. I really appreciated that because I personally get very obsessive about the exact number so it's helpful for me that I just know the lbs lost rather than the exact number on the scale. Very happy thus far and couldn't recommend working with them enough.

As someone who was hesitant about cosmetic procedures of this nature, I have to say Dr. Sarshad is remarkable. He took his time to explain the process, what was being used, and carefully walking through his recommendations. I highly recommend him and his team.

I've been a client for a number of years, and they are, by far, one of the best. They individualize treatment based on your needs, listen to what's happening, and gently walk you through the process.As someone who battles with PCOS , they have experience running labs, developing a regimen that works for your body, hair removal, weight loss medication, and above all- seeing results!They treat you with a white glove service, are flexible with your schedule, and know you by name. Highly recommend!

We have been going to Dr Sarshad & his staff at Cosmetique since 2005. We have used them for Botox, laser hair removal, B-12 IV's and wellness injections, IPL facials and many other things. The staff is fabulous, courteous, kind, friendly and very helpful.

Today I went in to get lip injections for the first time. I absolutely love my results. Dr. Sarshad was so helpful. He did his best to calm me down because I was super nervous. He made me smile so much, he was very fun yet professional. I feel so beautiful with my new lips.💋Thank you Cosmetique Aesthetics!

Absolutely love this place! The staff is wonderful and friendly. I had several balding spots on my head so I went to Cosmetique for help. The doctor started me off with prp injections for the scalp and believe me, that stuff works!!!My bald spots are almost gone and my hair feels thicket than ever. I couldn’t have had the confidence I have now if it wasn’t for Dr Sharshad and his knowledgeable staff. Plus they will work with you to get you the best bang for your buck! Definitely a must go place for me. I highly recommend it.

I’ve been seeing Dr Sarshad for many years. Dr Sarshad and his staff are amazing! I was back in his office for an aesthetic procedure and I have to say their care before, during and after the procedure was espectacular. I had a great experience. I’m still healing and everything is looking so good. I’m so excited with the results so far. Dr Sarshad and Rose, the officer manager, were the most professional and compassionate humans I have encountered. When you are looking to put yourself in the hands of others it’s such a difficult and scary decision. With Dr Sarshad was easy and pleasant. I love this place. Would recommend 100%!
My experiences with Dr. Sarshad has been excellent and his staff is always extremely friendly and helpful . Dr. Sarshad takes the time to explain options thoroughly , listens to your concerns and never pushes you in treatment options. I am extremely pleased with my results in both weight loss and injections. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Sarshad is amazing! He stays up to date with the newest procedures in rejuvenation. I have been his patient for the past 14 years. ( I did see other medical doctors while I was relocated for work outside of LA, and ended up returning to him -driving 2 hours to see him). He is an awesome Dr. who is dedicated to providing you with quality results. He takes the time to study your needs and applies the adequate care to best benefits you. I feel young I look young and family and friend tell me how great I look for my age. Highly recommend him.

I had a great experience here. I had Juvederm filler placed in my lips for the very first time. I was nervous about not only the pain, but also about looking too "done", the doctor made sure that wouldn't happen. He listened to all of my concerns and understood what I hoped to achieve. I just booked my second appointment for a completely different service and I am very excited!UPDATE: I have been back countless times since my original review and I can only say that I continue to be very satisfied with the results achieved by Dr. Sarshad and team! I refer my friends all the time and everyone who visits the office has had a similar experience.
