What's the right laser to remove my red ink tattoo?

February 9, 2015
Asked By:julloa78 in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I just had my first Tattoo removal treatment and I see no difference, they used Picosure and my tattoo its red ink with black edges. Is that the right laser? They told me they also have the revlite but they didn't use that one. I feel like this first treatment was a waste since I was doing a research and I see picosure doesn't work on red ink. What do you think? should I complaint about it?
