Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. It is not suggested to use at home lasers or other tattoo removal methods at home. These can lead to scarring, blistering and pigmentation issues. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
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.
