  7. I HAD 2 PICOSURE TATTOO...

I had 2 PicoSure tattoo removal sessions with great results. Would PicoWay or Piqo4 (with experienced dr) be even better?

Asked By:Enthusiastic361178 in Los Angeles, CA

I have a business card size tattoo. I’ve had 2 Picosure sessions. My tattoo faded a lot after the first session. I just had my second session, I have blisters (at the heaviest ink spots) and hyperpigmentation. It appears that I’ll see great results after healing. For my 3rd session, I’m considering Picoway or Piqo4 as it may remove even more of my tattoo. Thank you!

Susan Fox, DO, RPVI says:

Hello, It is difficult to say what is possible with a small pinpoint photo, but laser should be of some help to you.  Of course we would recommend an in-person consultation to really see the area in question.  Generally, laser tattoo removal works very well to remove dark colors, but not wel...
