Can the PicoSure laser be used on the lower back?
On the places listed where the laser could be used, lower back wasn't one of them. Can the PicoSure laser be used on the lower back? I'm desperate to have my tattoo removed; I believe this treatment is my only option.

I think we've answered this question once already, but the Picosure can be used on any area of the body except mucous membranes. The Picosure is not your only option, as there are 10-20 Q-switched lasers in the US that can remove tattoos. In fact, because Picosure is not the most absorbed wavelength for dark colors, red, black and dark blue are most efficiently treated with a Q-switched Nd:Yg laser.

Area does not matter, but spot size does. We have seen scarring.

The Picosure laser can be used to treat tattoos in nearly any body area. The lower back can certainly be treated and, in fact, it is one of our most commonly requested treatment areas.
