What's the difference between PicoWay and the Quanta Discovery Pico? (Photo)

Question

I've had 5 treatments with the Discovery pico and seeing virtually zero results. The place doing the treatment is reputable and they say the Discovery Pico is the best laser there is. But I am reading that the 694nm on the discovery is inferior to the 785nm on the Picoway. Problem is the only place around I see with PicoWay is much more expensive, so looking for feedback on if there would really be that big of a difference between the 2. Thank you so much for any info!!

Thanks for your question and posting a picture.  First, the key to tattoo removal is patience.  You've had 5 treatments, but how long are you waiting between each treatment?  We recommend waiting 2-4 months between treatments to give your body time to break down the ink and eliminate it.  Much of your results are dependent on the maintenance of the device, settings used and technique of the provider.  If you chose the lowest cost provider, you will probably get the lowest effective results.  We own over a dozen different devices and Quanta never made it on the list of possible devices.  The manufacturer boasts about its affordability; maybe because it doesn't have the bones to do the job...
