Laser Eraser: Services, Costs and How It Works

What is Laser Eraser?

Laser Eraser is a medical practice in New Jersey that focuses on one thing most people only think about once: getting rid of a tattoo they no longer want. It also treats scars and unwanted skin pigment with the same laser platform. The site's tagline is "Erase. Fade. Renew.", and its home page sums up the pitch as "Not a spa. A physician-led practice."

The practice says every treatment session is "performed by a licensed medical provider," meaning one of its physicians or its physician assistant, rather than a technician. That is the main point it makes about itself, and it repeats it on nearly every page. It also says it takes on the large, multi-color, full-back and sleeve tattoos that, in its words, "most clinics turn away."

Its work falls into two groups:

• Tattoo removal and fading: complete removal, or fading an old tattoo enough for a tattoo artist to cover it. This includes body tattoos of every size and color, cosmetic tattoos (microbladed brows, lip blush, eyeliner), scalp micropigmentation (SMP), radiation alignment dots and "traumatic" tattoos from embedded dirt or asphalt.
• Scar and pigment treatment: acne scars, atrophic and hypertrophic scars, burn and surgical scars, stretch marks, melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun and age spots, and argyria (blue-grey skin from silver). Keloids are handled differently, with injections.

Who owns and runs Laser Eraser?

The site says Laser Eraser "was founded by three physicians." It names them, and a fourth provider, on its Our Providers page:

The NPI (National Provider Identifier) registry is the federal list of health care providers run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. A record there confirms that a provider is enumerated with the credential and specialty shown; it is not a quality rating, and it does not list board certifications. The site does not describe any of its providers as board-certified in dermatology or plastic surgery, and we have not added any credential the site does not state.

Reviews on the site also mention a staff member named Jasmine, described by one reviewer as the manager, who walks new patients through the process and pricing. The Meet the Team page says "patient coordinators guide you through consultation, pricing, and aftercare."

Can you choose your provider? The site says yes: tell the team at the free consultation and it will schedule you with the provider you prefer, "subject to availability" at your chosen office.

Is Laser Eraser legit?

People ask this about any clinic that will point a laser at their skin. Here is what can be checked from public sources and the company's own pages:

• Named providers in a federal registry. All four providers the site names have active NPI records with the credentials the site gives them (MD, DO, PA). Sarah Nolan's record lists the Paramus office address and phone number.
• Two physical offices with full addresses and phone numbers, listed on every page, with posted hours.
• A legal entity. The site identifies the business as Laser Eraser Now, LLC.
• Published reviews, attributed. The reviews page shows "4.9 average from 234 Google reviews" across its Google profiles and reprints 77 of them (50 tagged Clark, 26 Paramus, 1 scar revision). These are figures the company displays; check the Google profiles linked from its footer for the current count.
• Before-and-after photos, which the site says are "of real patients," with a note that "results vary."
• A written results disclaimer. Its Policies & Procedures page says it "never guarantee[s] complete removal in a fixed number of sessions."

The Press and Case Studies pages were still placeholders when we checked.

Tattoo removal services, one by one

Laser Eraser's tattoo removal hub groups its pages by goal, ink color and body area. Every one uses the PicoWay laser and the same package pricing. You can choose complete removal or fading for a cover-up; the site says many patients "only need a few sessions to lighten a tattoo enough for a clean cover-up" and that you should tell the team your goal at the consultation.

The site also has comparison pages (laser versus creams, dermabrasion, excision and saline removal), written from the practice's point of view.

How long is a session? The How It Works page says most treatments take "around ten minutes or less, depending on the size of the tattoo." Sessions are spaced "several weeks apart" so the skin can heal and the body can clear the broken-up ink between visits.

How many sessions? It varies by tattoo. The site lists the factors as ink color, age, depth, skin tone and body location, and says your provider gives a realistic estimate at the consultation. Because the Complete Removal Package covers all the sessions your tattoo needs, the session count changes your timeline, not your price.

Does it hurt? The site says most patients describe the sensation as "quick rubber-band snaps" and that the team takes "steps to keep you comfortable." Reviews quoted on the site range from "nearly pain free" to "I'm not going to lie and tell you that the procedure was painless," which is a fair summary of how differently people feel it.

Microblading, permanent makeup and SMP removal

Cosmetic tattoos get their own pages: eyebrow and microblading removal, lip blush removal, permanent makeup (PMU) removal, and scalp micropigmentation (SMP) removal.

• What's covered: microbladed and powder or ombre brows, brows that have turned gray, blue or orange, tattooed eyeliner, lip liner and lip blush.
• Lighten or remove: the PMU page says many people want an old brow lightened enough to reshape it, or a heavy lip line faded so a new application can be done cleanly; others want it gone.
• Color shift: the site warns that some cosmetic pigments, "especially certain browns, nudes, and reds," can shift color when first treated before they fade. It describes its approach to brows as "test-first."
• No fixed session count: the site says cosmetic pigment "can be less predictable than body-tattoo ink" and that it does not quote a session count before seeing the work.
• SMP: the SMP page covers both full removal and correcting a hairline, dot size or color that no longer looks right.

Scar, pigment and argyria treatment

The second half of the practice uses the same PicoWay platform, set differently, for scars and pigment. The site explains it this way: scars are disorganized collagen, and laser energy creates "a controlled healing response" so the body lays down new collagen over the following months. It speaks of "meaningful improvement rather than guaranteed complete removal."

The Carbon Laser Facial and gift cards

Carbon Laser Facial. This is the one service with a price on the site: $200 per treatment, offered at the Clark office only (it is not on the Paramus services list). The site describes it as a thin layer of carbon applied to the skin and then passed over with the laser to lift away oil, debris and dead skin cells, with "little to no downtime." It lists it for skin that feels dull, oily, congested, uneven or rough, and says your provider evaluates your skin first to decide whether it is right for you.

Gift cards. Laser Eraser sells gift cards usable toward tattoo removal, scar treatment and pigment correction at both offices. They are not sold online; the gift card page says to contact the team, which "will set it up in minutes."

What is the PicoWay laser?

PicoWay is the brand of laser Laser Eraser uses for all of its laser work. It is a picosecond laser, meaning each pulse lasts trillionths of a second. The site explains the difference from older Q-switched (nanosecond) lasers like this:

• Older lasers rely more on heat to break up ink; PicoWay's shorter pulses create what the site calls a "photoacoustic" or pressure effect that breaks pigment into finer particles.
• The body's immune and lymphatic systems then clear those particles over the following weeks, which is why sessions are spaced apart.
• The site lists three wavelengths (532 nm, 785 nm and 1064 nm) and says different settings are used for different ink colors and skin types.

The company's PicoWay versus Q-switched page says both laser types are FDA-cleared and effective, and it sets out where it thinks picosecond lasers have the edge (colored ink and comfort). Those are the practice's own views. The site also notes that the PicoWay itself is "the same PicoWay technology many competitors use"; what it says it adds is a licensed medical provider at the laser.

How much does Laser Eraser cost?

Tattoo removal prices are not published. The site says "every tattoo is priced individually" and gives you an exact quote at a free consultation. What it does publish is how pricing is structured.

Tattoo removal is sold as Complete Removal Packages: one flat price that, the site says, covers every session your tattoo needs, with "no per-visit billing." Packages are tiered by the size of the inked area (length times width):

What changes the price. The cost guide lists five factors: size, ink colors, skin tone (Fitzpatrick type), the age of the tattoo and where it is on the body. Larger, newer and multi-color tattoos generally take more work.

Several tattoos, or only part of one. The site says it will build one custom package price covering several tattoos, and can scope a package for removing or fading only part of a piece.

Scar, pigment, keloid and argyria pricing is also set at the consultation. The scar cost page says you get a price "up front, in writing, before you commit," with "no membership fees, no upsells at the chair, and no surprise per-pass charges."

Why no price over the phone? The scar cost page answers this directly: a raised scar, a flat surgical scar and pitted acne scars each need different settings and numbers of sessions, so "a phone quote would be a guess." The site's cost calculator likewise asks for your tattoo size and then sends you to a free quote rather than showing a dollar figure.

Financing, insurance and payment

• Financing: Cherry is named as the practice's "primary financing partner." The site says you can prequalify in minutes, that checking is "a soft check that does not involve a hard credit pull," and that there are "no hidden fees." Financing can cover tattoo or scar packages, including several tattoos combined into one quote. The financing page has a Cherry payment calculator. The terms of any loan come from Cherry, not from Laser Eraser.
• Insurance: the site says tattoo removal is "generally cosmetic and not covered by insurance," and calls scar revision, pigment spot removal, keloid treatment and argyria treatment cosmetic as well. It does not bill insurance for them.
• When you pay: the Policies & Procedures page says "payment is due per the terms agreed at your consultation." Accepted payment methods (cards, cash, HSA or FSA cards) are not listed, so ask when you book.

Where is Laser Eraser, and what are its hours?

Hours are the same at both offices: Tuesday 9 AM to 7 PM, Wednesday 9 AM to 5 PM, Thursday and Friday 10 AM to 6 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM, closed Sunday and Monday. The site says free consultations are available during all open hours and that same-day appointments are "often available" if you call ahead.

Treatment is in person, and the site does not mention virtual consultations, though you can describe your tattoo or scar in the contact form before your visit. Parking and transit directions are not published; the location pages say to call for directions.

What happens at your first visit, step by step

1. Request a consultation. Use the form on the Book Now or Contact page (name, phone, email, preferred office and a note about your tattoo or scar), call either office, or use the "Book Online" link at the top of the site. The site says it usually replies "the same business day."
2. Free consultation. A physician assesses your tattoo or scar, your skin type and your goals (full removal or fading for a cover-up), and explains your options.
3. Exact quote. You are told your package tier and price before anything is scheduled. The site says there is "no obligation to book treatment."
4. Optional same-day start. The FAQ says many patients are seen the same day if they choose to begin.
5. The laser session. The PicoWay handpiece is passed over the area in quick pulses. Right after, the skin may look red, slightly swollen or "frosted" (a temporary whitening), which the site says settles over the following days.
6. Heal and repeat. You go home with written aftercare instructions. Sessions repeat several weeks apart until you reach your goal.

For argyria and some cosmetic pigments, the site says treatment often starts with a small test spot so the provider can see how your skin reacts before treating a larger area.

Aftercare between sessions

The site has an aftercare hub with guides for the first session, the weeks between sessions, and summer sun. Its first-session guide says:

• Keep the area clean, dry and covered for the first 24 hours, and leave the initial bandage on as directed.
• Apply a thin layer of healing ointment, and don't pick, pop or peel blisters or scabs.
• Mild redness, swelling and blistering are normal; the site says most people heal within one to two weeks.
• Shower the next day with lukewarm water; avoid soaking, hot water and scrubbing. Skip intense workouts and heavy sweating for about 48 to 72 hours.
• Keep the area out of the sun and use sunscreen, especially during summer treatment.

When to call: the site lists fever, spreading redness or red streaks, pus or foul-smelling drainage, pain that worsens after the first few days, or blisters and swelling that keep getting worse. Call Clark at (848) 304-3075 or Paramus at (201) 743-3737.

What the site says about risks and skin tone

Laser Eraser's pages are candid about limits, which is useful when you are deciding. Things it says, in its own words or close to them:

• "No reputable provider can erase a tattoo in a single visit, and any that promises to should be a red flag."
• Any laser that targets melanin can cause temporary lightening or darkening of the surrounding skin, and the risk is higher on darker skin tones, which is why it uses conservative settings and sometimes a test area.
• Laser does not replace a skin check: changing or unusual spots should see a dermatologist first. Keloids are treated with injections, not laser.

This guide is not medical advice; talk to a licensed clinician about your health history, medications and skin before any laser treatment.

Policies: consultations, scheduling, results, minors

• Consultations: "All consultations are complimentary and carry no obligation."
• Scheduling: scheduled appointments plus same-day visits "when availability allows." The site asks you to arrive on time and tell the office in advance if you need to reschedule. A cancellation or no-show fee is not published; ask when you book.
• Packages: "Our Complete Removal Packages cover all sessions typically needed at one flat price." What happens if you stop partway, or need more sessions than expected, is not spelled out on the site, so ask for the package terms in writing.
• Results disclaimer: "Results vary based on tattoo size, ink colors, age, skin tone, body location, and adherence to aftercare. We set honest expectations and never guarantee complete removal in a fixed number of sessions."
• Minors: the teen page welcomes parents at the consultation and asks you to call the Clark or Paramus office "to confirm the specific requirements for a minor before booking."

How it compares with other options

A general comparison, using categories rather than named businesses. It describes how the options are set up, not how well any of them work for a given tattoo.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere

Questions to ask before you book

• Which provider will treat me, and can I see the same provider each time?
• Which package tier is my tattoo, and what exactly does the package price include?
• What happens if I need more sessions than you estimate, or if I want to stop partway?
• What are the Cherry financing terms for my quote (term, rate, monthly payment)?
• Which payment methods do you take, and do you accept HSA or FSA cards?
• Do you recommend a test spot for my ink, pigment or skin type?
• Is there a cancellation or no-show fee?
• For a minor: what consent and documents do you need?

How to get started

1. Measure your tattoo (length times width) so you have a rough idea of the size tier.
2. Pick the office closer to you: Clark (Union County) or Paramus (Bergen County).
3. Request a free consultation online, call Clark at (848) 304-3075 or Paramus at (201) 743-3737, or email lasereraser@lasererasernow.com.
4. At the consultation, get your exact quote and package terms, and check financing if you want it.
5. Follow the written aftercare instructions between sessions.
