Tattoo Removal on my wrist??? (photos)

It's good that the tattoo is black because black tattoos usually respond well to laser treatment.  The Q-switched YAG laser would be a good choice for this tattoo.  It is necessary to perform multiple treatment sessions for best results.  You could also get treatment wtih a picosecond laser but this is not as widely available, will be more expensive, and has not been shown to be any more effective for black tattoos. As far as how long to wait, there are no official guidelines on this.  Sometimes it is beneficial to do a gentle treatment early before the tattoo has fully set.  However, there may be a higher risk of scarring if treatment is done too early.  I would recommend that you get an in-person consulation from an experienced laser surgeon.

Hello, Laser tattoo removal is the best choice for removal. The way a laser rids the body of ink is, it shatters the ink into tiny particles and you body absorbs the ink.  The latest technology is the pico-second technology. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic
impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat.This process has less heat, therefore it is
more comfortable and the chances of hyperpigmentation are less.The Pico-second pulse shatters the ink into
even smaller particles, allowing the body to more easily absorb the ink. With pico-second technology, I would guess that it may be as few as 2-4 treatments. Black ink is the easiest color to target and the amount of ink is very small. You should check in your area to see if the pico-second technology is available.Good Luck!
