How to proceed after two unsuccessful PicoSure treatments: back to Q-switched or stick with PicoSure? Black tattoo (photo)

Asked By:curlydevil in Port Saint Lucie, FL

I've started to remove my tattoo approximately 1,5 year ago - had 2 or 3 Q-switched treatments and then stopped for a year as I didn't have access to lasers at the time. Two months ago I continued with PicoSure and now after 2 treatments I don't see the results at all. It's been 4 weeks between 1st and 2nd and 7 weeks after the 2nd treatment now. My doctor told me the settings: 755 nm x 2,5. What do I do now - go back to Q switched or stick with PicoSure and hope it starts working?
