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

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!
