To be frank, the 'best' lasers are the more powerful ones. In simple terms, the higher the output energy, the better. This is because these systems can deliver more energy into the dermis, and hence to the ink. This results in better clearances of tattoo ink.

You may be experiencing an allergic response to the treatment. When you have the pigment treated by laser it effectively releases the ink back into your system. Your immune system will then respond and remove those particles. However, you may also have an allergic response if the ink contains an allergen. You might find an anti-histamine from your local pharmacy may help.

I am testing this method at the moment. All I can report at the moment is that it does cause more epidermal (surface) damage than the conventional method. This results in more blisters and loss of the upper layer of the skin surface. But it is still early days.

"The device uses a combined mechanical and chemical mechanism to remove tattoos. A series of needles inject into the tattooed skin the chemical solution, which dissolves the tattoo ink."-according to them. I would not touch this with a barge pole until they produce good clinical evidence. I also not that they do not make any claims of 'scar-free' - I would be very surprised if they could achieve that!

Hi, That will be a very difficult tattoo to remove because of the density and amount of ink. The colours will also present problems. I've been removing tattoos for 26 years and would not recommend you use the laser for your tattoo. Sorry!
