Which tattoo removal laser is superior? The Alex TriVantage, the Astanza Trinity, or the Medlite C6.

hb61287Apr 27, 2015
I've been getting rather unsuccessful laser treatments for going on 2 years with an outdated Medlite. I've put myself through a lot of pain and am seeking other options to see more progress. I had a consultation today and want to make sure I wasn't just "sold". I was quoted 4 sessions for an entire very colorful sleeve, and two smaller tattoos on my hips at $1500 total. Is this a fair price? They felt with the TriVantage, after 4 sessions, it should be light enough to cover.

Red ink is very responsive to the 532 setting on the picosure laser which is available in bellemore at tattoos-removed.com .Fees vary by size but the picosure requires 4 compared to 12 sessions for traditional q switched lasers. A small tattoo could cost 200 dollars per session.
