I read picosure works great on green and blue tattoos. But what about dense black tattoos (black outlines and shadding)? I allready had two treatments with qs ndyag with poor results... Only faded a little... And No changes in the black outlines...
Answer: PicoSure for Black Tattoo's The PicoSure laser is the latest and most advanced treatment available for tattoo removal. It breaks up the pigmentation into nano particles that your immune system will absorb over time and eliminate. Because the particles are burst up into micro small particles it requires less treatments. My staff and I have had great results using the PicoSure for black pigmented tattoo's.

Answer: Black Tattoo removal with PicoSure laser often works very well I have found that black responds extremely well to the PicoSure laser when treating tattoos. Your current laser may work very well in the end with appropriate settings but may take many more treatments to achieve significant fading. On average it took me 8 or more treatments to get significant tattoo reduction with older q-switched ruby, alexandrite or NdYag lasers, whereas many patients have considerable reduction in their black tattoos after 3 or more treatments. More treatments than those can be continued to further reduce the lighter tattoo color even further.

Answer: PicoSure can help to remove some black tattoos PicoSure works well to remove blue, green, and some black tattoos. Different colored inks respond better to different lasers, and an in-person consultation is necessary to evaluate your tattoo and make sure your skin color Is right for the picosure or would be better served with the pico way laser. We offer a variety of lasers that can help treat a wide range of tattoos at my practice, and have a high success rate for tattoo removal.

Answer: Picosure Laser is effective for Black tattoos. Our experience with the Picosure laser and black tattoos has been nothing short of phenomenal. We have treated tattoos as new as 6 months and as old as 16 years and have had amazing results despite age of the tattoo. Due to the popularity of black tattoos in recent decades, most of the tattoos we've seen are in fact black. Some of the tattoos are very dense and dark and we've seen significant fading of those even after 1-2 treatments. Even the dark "Japanese ink" tattoos respond well to the Picosure. We have even used the Picosure on black tattoos previously treated multiple times by older q-switched and nanosecond lasers with superior fading after fewer treatments. I believe the reason for this is the picosecond technology which allows the energy to be delivered in picoseconds which is 1/1,000 of a nanosecond. Imagine a car hitting a brick wall at 1,000mph vs 1mph and that is what the ink particles experience. As a result there is less reliance on thermal effect and more reliance on physical mechanical energy to disperse the ink. As a result, there is more ink scatter and less thermal injury which for most people mean less damage to surrounding tissues, scarring, and pain. At Chicago Breast and Body Aesthetics, we use a BLT numbing cream and Zimmer chiller which reduces the amount of pain tremendously according to our patients who have had the treatment elsewhere.

Answer: PicoSure for A Black Tattoo Thank you for your question. I have found that black ink responds the best with the Picosure laser. PicoSure has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact. This adds up to faster results and fewer treatments when compared to other tattoo removal methods. The amount of sessions you will need depends on the size, color, and placement of the tattoo. The average price for a large tattoo per session is $500-$1000. Please remember the further the tattoo is from the heart the more time it will take to remove. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
