Does PicoSure Hurt More Than the Q-switched Laser?

Question

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. In my experience, patients have reported the pain level of Picosure to be equivalent to the older technology, such as Q Switch. It is best to remember that everyone’s pain level is different. I recommend addressing any concerns you have with your treating physician. Best of Luck!

In our experience, patients report the pain level is equivalent to the Q-switched laser. They say the pain to be about the same or somewhat more than when they got the tattoo.  Everyone's pain level is different and pain will vary depending on the area of the body and how concentrated the ink is.
