About tattoo removal with pico lasers
Pico laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter tattoo ink into particles that the lymphatic system clears. Most cases need 4-8 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, with realistic timelines of 9-18 months.

Which pico laser matters for tattoo removal in Boston
For tattoo removal, the right machine depends on your ink colors: PicoSure (755nm) for dark inks; PicoWay or PicoSure Pro (multi-wavelength) for multicolor and darker skin; Discovery Pico (with 694nm Ruby) for stubborn green inks.
Boston-area clinics operate PicoSure (the original 755nm) and Candela PicoWay (with the rare 730nm and 785nm). SkinCare Physicians spearheaded the 2013 FDA approval research for PicoSure.
