1st generation (Q-Switched) or 2nd generation (Pico) laser technology is the gold standard for tattoo removal. If tattoo is new, you'll want to wait until it's completely healed (around 2-3 months) before laser treatment. The number of treatment is depending on various factors such as cover up vs complete removal, laser technology, ink saturation, colors, overall health, skin type, tattoo location, etc. Complete removal is never guaranteed. PICO is costlier; but more effective and less painful. We recommend seeking laser tattoo removal treatment from a reputable professional healthcare provider in your area who is specialized in tattoos removal with both Nano/Pico technology.
