I have a multicolored tattoo that has colors including black, dark pink, purple, blue, green, orange, and yellow (see pic). I know that the picosure laser is the best laser out there but know that other lasers are more effective on different colors. If someone could tell me which colors would react better from different lasers, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Answer: PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal In my opinion Picoway is the best treatment plan for all tattoo colors. Have a personal consultation with a practice highly specialized in lasers so that you receive the most appropriate treatment without major side effects. There is little discomfort, no recovery time and little no blistering. I hope this helps. Best

Answer: Which Laser for Which Tattoo Colors? Hi BH. The bottom line is it's likely you will need both the q-switched Nd:yg laser for red and black as well as the dark blue. The q-switched Alexandrite will work better for green and lighter blue. The Orange and yellow are difficult to remove and a newer method involves fractional laser resurfacing. Best bet would be to find an office that has all three options as you may need them.

Answer: Reds, blues, oranges and yellow inks - Buffalo Niagara Laser Tattoo Removal Specialist There are a multitude of ink colors in your tattoo and this may require the application of more than one laser. For tattoos, dark colors (blue, black, brown) on fair skin tend to respond best. Pastel colors and amateur tattoos may be harder to treat and may never fully clear. Picosure is effective in clearing green and blue pigment - to date.Other picosecond lasers (PicoWay) is good for red tattoos.Enlighten is a picosecond laser with a dual wavelength (532 nm and 1064 nm) and operates at dual pulse durations (picsecond and nanosecond). The 532 nm Q switched Nd YAG is best for red ink.

Answer: Multicolored tattoo removal This is actually a very interesting question and we could talk about laser and light physics for awhile. But the short answer is that different tattoo pigments absorb different laser wavelengths to varying degrees of efficacy. This does not mean that one laser might not do a great job at removing the tattoo and treat all colors, but it does mean that certain lasers tend to do better with certain colors. ND:YAG 1064/532 nm will do black, blue, red and orange well. Ruby 694nm and Alexandrite 755nm lasers will treat green better than the YAG And the above lasers should be either Q-switched or picosecond lasers in order to work.
