Can I remove a Red Tattoo?

Jim Trenholm • December 14, 2017

If this question were to be asked as little as ten years ago, the answer would most likely be no. Thanks to growing technological advancements in the tattoo industry, tattoos of all colours—including red—are able to be safely and comfortably removed.

 

Can we remove a red tattoo?

Yes.  In order to effectively remove all ink colours, the technology used must incorporate multiple wavelengths. These wavelengths are what the laser energy travels on to then enter the skin and shatter ink pigments into smaller pieces. At Unthink Inc. we are able to remove a cover a full spectrum of ink colours with the use of three innovative wavelengths courtesy of the PicoWay tattoo removal laser. As the only laser to offer all three wavelengths of function at a pulsation speed measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second), PicoWay can remove a wider variety of tattoos faster than any laser tattoo removal technology on the market today.  

 

Does PicoWay target red tattoo ink?

Each wavelength targets a different group of colours: 532nm for reds, yellows, violets and browns; 785nm for all blues and greens, including pastels; and 1064 nm for black and dark blue inks. PicoWay makes it simple to target and destroy multiple tattoo colours with just one device. As the pulsation rate is so fast the procedure can be done in less time. Shortening removal time and the amount of sessions required. This speed also allows for a more comfortable treatment and a drastically reduced chance of risk.

With past technologies, often referred to as Q-switched lasers. Lighter coloured tattoos were nearly impossible to fully remove without the risk of scarring and pain. Although these lasers did incorporate the use of both the 1064 nm (blacks/blues) and 532nm (reds/yellows) wavelengths. Their pulsation rate is measured in nanoseconds (one billionth of a second) making them 1000 times slower than PicoWay. Due to this lack of speed, the treatments are usually much more painful. Take much longer and usually require up to double the amount of PicoWay treatments.
