Q‐Switched 1064‐nm Laser Versus Picosecond 1064‐nm Laser in Tattoo Removal: Comparable Overall Effectiveness With Higher Excellent Clearance Rates and Fewer Treatment Sessions for the Picosecond Laser

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Laser tattoo removal is becoming more popular, with the Q‐switched (QS) 1064‐nm nanosecond laser considered the traditional standard. While the picosecond (PS) 1064‐nm laser offers an alternative for optimizing treatment protocols, comparative data regarding its relative efficacy remain limited and inconsistent.
