Does the PicoWay Laser remove red, pale blue and pink ink?

Question

Thank you kindly.

Joseph J. Castellano, MD · Answer

PicoWay Laser tattoo removal is so effective at removing tattoos because of its ability to deal with a broad spectrum of ink colors. Your practitioner will be able to tell you what results you can expect on your particular tattoo. It may take an extended PicoWay Laser treatment plan to tackle difficult or stubborn colors. Typically, each session lasts around 20 minutes. Sessions can be scheduled approximately 8 to 12 weeks apart. For optimal results, it's important to stay out of the sun and away from tanning beds while you're having laser tattoo removal.

Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. Using a PFD patch in tandem with a laser will get you more removal quickly as compared to tattoo removal without it. It will take a series of treatments, but it's difficult to determine how many treatments you'll need. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. 
Best, Dr. Emer

PicoWay is the most effective laser at treating blues due to its specific wavelength handpiece of 785. No other machine has this. The 532 handpiece is what's used to treat reds and pinks. Not only do the laser and handpieces matter but the specific training and expertise of your technician is key. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
