Can the R20 method be used with the candela PicoWay for a large full blackout tattoo? (Photo)

Question

I have a big black cover up that I want to laser off and hopefully save time using the PicoWay with 1064nm combined with the R20 method. Is this method used for pico second lasers such as PicoWay ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

The R20 method may increase the risk of scarring. Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. Using a PFD patch in tandem with a laser will get you more removal quickly as compared to tattoo removal without it. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert.
