red, black and green tattoo before laser removal

After 3 sessions at treatment.


The tattoo

A medium red, black and green tattoo on the forearm on Type I skin (very fair, always burns).

Fitzpatrick Type I allows the highest laser energy settings with the lowest risk of pigmentation changes.

The forearm drains adequately but sits further from the major lymph nodes of the torso.

Cost

No total cost was shared. For reference, the average per-session rate in Tulsa runs $63 to $500, which would put a 3-session treatment in the $189 to $1,500 range.

The laser

The Picoway is a picosecond platform.

For red, black and green ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 240 - 450 ps.

For red, black and green ink, it operates at 532 nm with a pulse duration of 240 - 450 ps.

Mike from GO describes PicoWay as a monster on black ink, and it is his personal choice for black ink removal.
