I have a small red heart on my rib cage that I've completely outgrown. I was interested in trying the new PicoSure laser, but I heard that while it's better with blues and greens it doesn't really treat reds and yellows. Is this true? Or is there another tattoo removal treatment that would be better?
Answer: Picosure for Red Ink
Hi anon. The Picosure would be fine for red ink. In fact any q-switched Nd:Yg laser would be good for red ink. With yellow and green the Ruby and Alexandrite lasers are better.

Answer: Red Ink Tattoo 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, green and purple as these colors were previously very difficult to treat. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Answer: PicoSure and red ink tattoos: not great. Unfortunately, just like many laser generations before it, despite what you may read in the marketing materials, the PicoSure is not reliable for red ink tattoos. That's not to say it can't clear SOME of them. It may. But others it really does not budge. It depends truly on exactly which red pigments were used in your ink, and how deep the ink was placed. There is also no way to know ahead of time, other than to try it, and there is no guarantee of your result. I know! You regret the tattoo and now especially the red. Give the PicoSure a try. It certainly is at least as good as other lasers, if not better, but it's not a sure thing.

Answer: 532nm is best for red It is well establised in the laser literature that red ink responds best to 532nm. The Picosure is 755nm. Green responds well to this wavelength. Hope this info helps.
