I had success with PicoSure removing a black tattoo. Should I stick to it or will PicoWay be better for another black tattoo?

Question

I have had a black line tattoo removed completely with only 6 picosure treatments. There is no scarring and only a tiny bit of hypopigmentation, so I am very happy with the treatment. I now have another black line tattoo I might want removed. Should I stick with picosure or use picoway instead? I should say that the tattoo i had removed was brand new and the current one is new as well.

You can use either. Black inks are often combinations of many colors of ink, so that's why some lasers work better than others. PicoWay does better with blue and green inks so if you find that when you're getting your PicoSure treatments that there's a lot of blue and green remaining inks, then I'd suggest using a PicoWay device. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
