Does PicoSure Get Rid Of Red Ink?
532nm is best for red
May 29, 2014
It is well establised in the laser literature that red ink responds best to 532nm. The Picosure is 755nm. Green responds well to this wavelength. Hope this info helps.
Picosure and Tattoo on Black Skins
The 1064nm Nd:YAG is best for darker skin types.
May 29, 2014
It is common knowledge in the dermatological community that the 1064nm Nd:YAG is the safest laser for darker skin types. The Picosure is a 755nm Alexandrite laser and should be reserved for lighter skin types.
I am researching PicoSure for tattoo removal on my solid black shoulder/arm tattoo. Will it be
For black you should go with 1064nm Nd:YAG…
May 8, 2014
The 755nm PicoSure may work but it is common knowledge black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm).
How Effective Would the Picosure Laser Be on a Very Large, Black Outline?
Nd:YAG for black ink…
May 8, 2014
Black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm) and the red/orange will require a 532nm. Green responds well to an Alexandrite (including the PicoSure at 755nm). Blue responds best to a Ruby laser (694nm). Anyone who tells you differently is incorrect and doesn’t understand basic laser principals or is just trying to get you to use their laser. Good luck!
Dense black tattoo with raised lines – Will Picosure work at complete removal?
Black ink responds best to the Nd:Yag
May 8, 2014
Black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm) and the red/orange will require a 532nm. Green responds well to an Alexandrite (including the PicoSure). Blue responds best to a Ruby laser (694nm). Anyone who tells you differently is incorrect and doesn’t understand basic laser principals. Good luck!
Picosure for Black Tattoos?
Different tattoo colors require different wavelengths of light…
May 8, 2014
Black ink responds best to an Nd:YAG (1064nm) and the red/orange will require a 532nm. Green responds well to an Alexandrite (including the PicoSure). Blue responds best to a Ruby laser (694nm). Anyone who tells you differently is incorrect and doesn’t understand basic laser principals. Good luck!
I had picosure about 2 weeks ago on a large piece and can’t really tell a change, is this norm
Multiple wavelengths of light are needed…
May 8, 2014
For the black ink you may want to switch to an Nd:YAG (1064nm) and the red/orange will require a 532nm. The PicoSure uses an Alexandrite 755nm. Godd luck!
