The laser
Candela Picoway is a picosecond laser. For black ink, it operates at 1064nm with a pulse duration of 240 to 450 ps. A specialist with more than 10,000 treatments describes PicoWay as outstanding on black ink.
What comes next
The last 5 to 10 percent of clearance is the hardest: the remaining ink tends to be deepest, and the combination of unknown ink composition, depth, scar tissue, and immune response slows progress.
