Question

Black outline tattoo only in my forearm

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

The PicoSure is the best laser available for tattoo removal. However, every case is unique. It's going to depend on the depth of the ink and the type of ink used. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist to discuss. My best, Dr. Sheila Nazarian @drsheilanazarian on Instagram

In more than twenty years of practice I have not seen any advance in laser tattoo removal as considerable as the PicoSure laser. The pico fraction of a nanosecond pulse duration helps blow apart the tattoo pigment into microgranules that the immune system carries away. On average I see in my NYC practice, more pigment reduction in a few treatments than I used to see with eight or more Q switched nano second laser treatments.

Thank you for your question and photograph. Picosure
laser is a good option to have this tattoo removed as it is safe and effective
and there is a low risk of scarring regardless of the tattoo’s size. This
treatment works best on dark inks like black and dark blue which gives you an
effective permanent result. I recommend you see an expert in order to determine
the best treatment plan for you. All the best!

Yes picosure laser should be able to remove it in about 4 sessions although results vary depending on depth of ink and the ink selected by tattoo artist. There is no uniform black ink.
