Which laser is best to remove a tattoo in dark skin (African american)? (Photo)

Thanks for your question and posting a picture.  I don't like getting into arguments with other physicians, but Pico should be STANDARD OF CARE for darker skin patients.  We have been using PicoSure for over 3 years.  We have previous nanosecond/Q-Switch patients come to us every week trying to correct hypopigmentation and or scarring from this old technology.  Using the best technology doesn't guarantee that you won't have complications, but it will minimize them.  Best of luck.

It's MUCH safer than the wavelengths generally used in Pico Lasers, which tend to cause lightening of the skin (which, can be permanent.) The Pico lasers also cost twice as much, in spite of them, largely, not living up to their claim of removing tattoos in "half the treatments." Look at before and after photos (from the physician's office, themselves, with the number of treatments needed, and, you'll see what I mean.) That will also help you find a good provider :)  Good luck! I hope that helps!
