Hi, everybody!

I'm about to start a long journey to remove a massive blue dragon in my forearm and I was pretty sure to start with Picosure in a cosmetic clinic in Melbourne. There have plenty references, and more lasers apart than picosure to work in all colors.

However, there is a laser tattoo removal specialist that work also in Melbourne that have just bought the PIQo4 device. It seems that this devices works in picoseconds with 4 wavelenghts, so in theory should work better.

My piece is mostly blue, and have a considerable amount of orange and red. I'll load pics as soon as I can.

Any advice? Has anybody experience with this device?

Thank you so much so share all your experiences.

BR

I am currently having a color tattoo removed using the PiQ04 laser. I had my third session last week and I'm pleased with the results so far. The laser technician adjusts the wavelengths to treat the different colors. Although everyone's pain threshold is different, I would say that the laser process in slightly more painful than getting tattooed, but it only take a few minutes. My tech uses a Zimmer cold air device during the procedure that makes the procedure less painful. All the best in your removal.

Hi, Jethro,

How is your removal journey? I'm about to start mine (next week), and I'm little nervous. I'll do it with PIQo4 in Melbourne. I'm not concern about the pain, but I think the healing process will be hard.
Hope you great!
Cheers!

HI, Jethro9,

Thank so much for your help. I've decided to go ahead with PIQo4, so I'll post a complete review after my first session. Really appreciate your support.

Cheers!

Hi BR
This is an excellent laser for tattoo removal. Main reasons for this is it's power. This allows it to keep the spot size bigger, which allows for deeper laser penetration into the skin with lower settings on the laser. This basically means less scarring.

Having picosecond and nanosecond pulses is also good. Usually, the treatments are started with nanosecond pulses which are better for the fresh tattoo particles,and as they get smaller, the picosecond pulses can be used to breakdown smaller tattoo ink particles.

With big tattoos, you have to expect them to be removed over a period of years rather than months. Local anaesthetic injections will make it much less painful than not using them, or just using numbing cream. You might need to split it up into parts, depending on the size and your tolerance for the treatment.

Hope this helps BR
