Does PicoSure Get Rid Of Red Ink?

June 19, 2013
Asked By:Nicole Fukuoka in Los Angeles

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?
