What laser is best at removing red and orange ink?

March 27, 2016
Asked By:update1234 in New Virginia, IA

I have a small all color tattoo on my thigh (red/orange/yellow daisy with green leaves) which I treated with 3 picosure sessions. I am seeing clearing of the green, but nothing really on the red. The technician tells me that the pico clears red/orange but it takes longer. I have read that pico does not work on red. What is the truth? Should I consider another laser for the red and orange? If so, which one? Thank you!!!!
