At RenuYou MedSpa & Wellness Center in Ames, IA, we understand that while tattoos often hold personal meaning, they don’t always align with who you are today. Whether it’s a design that has faded, no longer represents your journey, or simply no longer feels right, you deserve to feel confident in your skin. We offer advanced laser tattoo removal using the Spectrum system—a powerful, precise technology that safely erases unwanted ink and helps reveal your skin’s natural clarity. With each session, your tattoo fades gradually as the laser breaks down ink particles, allowing your body to eliminate them naturally.
Many clients come to us feeling stuck with tattoos they’ve outgrown, experiencing everything from regret to frustration. You don’t have to live with a permanent reminder of the past. Spectrum laser is gentle on your skin and delivers actual results with minimal discomfort and little downtime. If you’re ready for a clean slate, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Minimal Risk to Skin
Designed to limit damage to surrounding tissue, making it safe for a range of skin tones.

High-intensity pulses break ink into fine particles, enhancing the body’s ability to flush them out naturally.
