Which is the best laser to remove tattoos?
The most common type is the Nd: YAG laser, which usually offers wavelengths of 1064nm, which is perfect for removing black and blue tattoo inks. Nd: YAG Lasers can also have settings that switch the wavelengths to 532nm, which is better for red ink and other warm color shades.
What is the best laser to remove tattoos?
Nd: YAG laser
Typically it’s recommended to use the Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm, 532 nm) to treat dark pigments like black, blue, and warm toned colors. However, the alexandrite or ruby (755 nm & 694 nm) lasers would prove most effective for difficult light blues and green pigments to remove.
What is the difference between PicoWay and PicoSure?
Picoway vs Picosure – Number of Wavelengths PicoWay has 3 wavelengths that operate at full picosecond power and speed. PicoSure has a natural 755nm wavelength and uses laser pump handpieces to convert to 532nm and 1064nm. This conversion drops the energy and compromises the effectiveness of the wavelength.
Is PicoWay better than PicoSure?
The PicoWay laser also outshines the PicoSure laser with its superior peak power. While the PicoSure only peaks at 0.36GW, the PicoWay has a peak power of 0.9GW. This is important because more power ultimately means more effective removal of a tattoo.
How long does it take to remove a tattoo with PicoWay?
15 to 20 minute
The good news is that these side effects are short lived, and the skin eventually returns to its normal tone. In most, the results of the PicoWay® procedure are visible after the first treatment, but a series of brief 15 to 20 minute treatments are typically required for tattoo removal.
