At the Laser & Skin Surgery of New York in NYC we have been using the device for over a year and a half as we performed the original trials that led to FDA clearance. The results are far superior to the Revlite except for red colors where we still use the Revlite. We use both lasers at the same session. Almost all patients find the difference to be very dramatic.
Picosure is not only proven, but the benefit above and beyond other tattoo lasers, even the Revlite, is obvious. I just got off the phone with the woman who TRAINS all over the country to use multiple different lasers and the first thing she said to me when she heard I have the Picosure was "I am SO JEALOUS!". She has been going all over the country training doctors to use their new Picosure lasers and she said the difference in technology is mind boggling. It's also not half of the number of treatments. It's 1/4 to 1/3 of the number. Some tattoos disappear after a single treatment. Keep in mind not only the dollar cost but also the time cost in the investment to go through getting a tattoo removed. Some tattoos have taken 15 to 20 treatments to fade (not disappear) with traditional lasers. Picosure specializes in treating tattoos that linger, and can disappear them in just a few treatments. It's worth it.
