Is PicoSure safe enough for the PA to administer treatment on tattoos?

Thank you for your question. Yes PicoSure is safe for a PA to administer on tattoo treatment. The PicoSure is FDA-approved and highly effective for removing regrettable tattoos and scars. However it is always best to get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. Yes, PicoSure is very safe and a properly trained PA can administer treatment. Picosure is the best laser for treating tattoos. It has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact. This adds up to faster results and fewer treatments when compared to other tattoo removal methods. It works best on darker inks such as black and blue. The number of sessions required to remove a tattoo can range from 6-10 sessions. The amount of sessions depends on the size, color and placement of the tattoo. The further the tattoo is from the heart the more time it will take to remove. Please see and expert for a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Almost all aesthetic treatments can be safely delegated to properly trained staff.  PicoSecond lasers are significantly safer and have less complications than the older q-switch/nonsecond lasers.  The safety is also in the settings.  Most physicians will review the settings with the clinician prior to treatment.  Best of luck!
