I couldn't be happier with my lip augmentation by Dr. Kirby. I genetically have extremely small lips. As I age they seem to get smaller and smaller. As you can see Dr. Kirby made them look astonishing natural and the perfect size and shape I wanted. I brought a couple photos with me of what I wanted and he did exactly what I wanted. I absolutely love them. He is the best around hands down.
I've had 11 sessions so far.. yes, they hurt like hell but the nurses @ Dr T in Beverly Hills are very good at making you feel comfortable. I'm asian so I scar easily.. I had 2 shaded in stars on my waist but only about 80% of it is gone. It also has white holes penetrating the stars... because of the laser treatments. However, I buy bleach creams ($50 per tube..damn!) to lighten the remaining. I still continued to go every few months and it has gotten better and better.. but it is still very visible. However, this is so much better than what I had before... In my personal opinion.
It is well establised in the laser literature that red ink responds best to 532nm. The Picosure is 755nm. Green responds well to this wavelength. Hope this info helps.
It is common knowledge in the dermatological community that the 1064nm Nd:YAG is the safest laser for darker skin types. The Picosure is a 755nm Alexandrite laser and should be reserved for lighter skin types.
The 755nm PicoSure may work but it is common knowledge black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm).
Black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm) and the red/orange will require a 532nm. Green responds well to an Alexandrite (including the PicoSure at 755nm). Blue responds best to a Ruby laser (694nm). Anyone who tells you differently is incorrect and doesn't understand basic laser principals or is just trying to get you to use their laser. Good luck!
