PicoSure VS. Alex Trivantage for Blue/Green Tattoo? (Photo)

Question

I have a bright blue and green tattoo on my torso that I want removed. I know these can be some of the hardest colors to remove so I want to use the best possible machine. One clinic in my area offers PicoSure and another uses the Alex Trivantage. Which is best for a blue/green tattoo? Is there another machine you recommend for this purpose? I don't mind traveling for my treatments.

There are extremely significant differences between the two technologies we're comparing. Alex Trivantage operates with nanotechnology, while PicoSure operates with picotechnology. Picotechnology allows for up to 1001 times faster pulses than nanotechnology. What this means is that while the picolaser provides the same power to remove your tattoo, it doesn't harm or damage your skin. In laser treatments, the power delivered is crucial; how this power is delivered is even more crucial. Therefore, dividing the same power into smaller time frames results in both a highly effective outcome and minimal damage to the skin.
Pico technology is also remarkably effective and unrivaled for removing freckles. Almost effortlessly, freckles and blemishes caused by birth or sun exposure disappear as if vaporized, leaving the skin porcelain-like in just one session. As a doctor, witnessing this is incredibly inspiring... Although Pico lasers are predominantly known in the media for tattoo removal, they are actually highly successful in treating skin discoloration! Especially in the group of patients who prefer no swelling, no redness, and no disruption to their daily lives, delivering such high powers to the skin without causing damage and achieving visibly satisfying results is something that greatly pleases me as a doctor! Thanks to Discovery Pico Derm.
