Price is a concern. Black tattoo six months old, I need to find the best place to remove it as quick and as safe as possible with minimal to no scaring, hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, all places I called claim the same exact thing (we are the best), recommendations to specific businesses as far as Seattle north of me and as far as San Francisco. I may go to a doctor in Eugene, they use a picosure but they said they have only had it a year or so and have no pictures what so ever or before and after.

Answer: Face Tattoo Thanks for your question and posting pictures. Based on your tattoo's location, you should only consider using a picosecond laser. Nanosecond or Q-Switch have a much higher likelihood of complications. Find the doctor's office close to you that has the most experience with it. PicoSure, PicoWay, Enlighten... all will have their selling points that they try to make them better. You need someone with experience and not just following the manufacturer's recommendations. I hope this helps.

Answer: What is the best laser for a tattoo on the face? Hello, thank you for your question and for including photos. The way a laser rids the skin of unwanted ink is, it shatters the ink into tiny particles and your body absorbs those particles. The latest technology in laser tattoo removal is the pico-second technology. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat. This process has less heat, therefore it is more comfortable and the chances of hyperpigmentation are less. The Pico-second pulse shatters the ink into even smaller particles, allowing the body to more easily absorb the ink. This type of device can usually remove unwanted ink in about half as many treatments as the traditional Q-switch devices. Your tattoo is very dense in ink, the technician will need to start treatment using very conservative energy, gradually increasing energy as the ink lightens. The fortunate thing about it is, there is ample blood flow on the face and your body should respond well to the clearing process. We only treat once each 8 weeks, the body needs time to absorb the ink. You will need to have patience, it will take over a year to remove a tattoo.You can click on the weblink below and put in your zip code to "find a provider" of this technology in your area.Good Luck!
