This is my only professional tattoo and it is 3 years old. I have had 1 previous treatment of picosure. I want to remove it but scared of the scarring looking worse than the tattoo. Thinking about using enlighten by cutera. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer: Thigh Tattoo With the correct laser, yes you stand a change of either complete, or near complete removal. The yellow will be difficult. However, if everything else is removed, the small amount of remaining yellow should not be terribly noticeable compared to what is currently there. Having said that, you should understand that the process will take multiple treatments. The exact number is impossible to predict, but I would expect it to be between 5-10 with picosecond laser of multiple wavelengths. I good laser option for that tattoo would be the Enlighten laser. It has the proper wavelengths for the dark ink and the red ink. As I said, yellow is difficult with any laser, but Enlighten will likely provide results on the yellow as well.

Answer: Laser Tattoo Removal Pico lasers are the most advanced technology. I utilize the PiQo4 laser which has 4 Pico wavelengths. Certain colors respond best to certain wavelengths. The amount of treatments can vary based on several factors such as the location of your tattoo, your skin tone, how sharp the ink is, and how quickly your body eliminates the ink. Even with advanced lasers and multiple wavelengths complete removal is not always possible. I believe that tattoos are removed faster and safer with Pico lasers and there is less risk of scarring. I think it is important not only to seek the best technology but an experienced laser tattoo removal provider.

Answer: Yes, this tattoo can be completely removed, but it requires the best high tech lasers. This tattoo can be completely removed, but it requires the best high tech lasers. We use 2 pico lasers, the Picosure, PrimaPico, Coherent VersaPulse, Ruby and QX-Max Lasers with 755nm and 1064nm, 532nm, 650, 694 and 585 nm ,wavelenghts to treat difficult colored tattoos. Sometimes is is necessary to make small fractional holes in the tattoo with a high-energy focused Erbium Laser (Fotona SP Dynamis) to create channels out of which the ink can be ejected with the Pico and Q-swtiched lasers.
