I am contemplating on which clinic to go to, one is using Picosure but is not a doctor (Andrea Catton Clinic - Lancashire,UK) and the other uses a Q Laser, but is a reputable cosmetic surgeon.

Which device should work best for my skin?

Thank you for your question. Picosure is not a good laser for a red ink tattoo. Your tattoo will be best treated with a 532 wavelength laser. Picosure is best for dark colors such as black, blue, and green and purple. I recommend addressing your concerns with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
