Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

After 7 treatments
So I've had 7 Picosure treatments over the course of 2.5 years. I waited a long time between some of my treatments to let my skin heal and get maximum clearance (the nurse practitioner who does my treatments says 8 weeks is the minimum but several months is even better).
Not going to lie I am getting pretty frustrated with this process. I know I've had great results so far but these last couple treatments seemed to barely make a difference. I am getting fed up and just want it all GONE!
I am posting 2 pics - 1 with the flash and 1 without. I would say in real life it's somewhat between the two (not as dark as the first one but not as light as the flash one).
Lmk what you guys think!

About to have my 6th Picosure treatment
Hey guys, I need to do a little venting here. Ok...so the last picture I put up in April had REALLY flattering lighting. My tattoo does not look at that good. Basically, I saw HUGE reductions after my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd treatments. After my 4th and 5th...not so much. Like I think the lines have faded a little bit, but I honestly think it looks pretty much the same! I'm putting up a pic of my tattoo that i took TODAY, AFTER 5 TREATMENTS. I feel bad about the last pic I put up because it's not accurate and I'm sure this post will be confusing because comparing the two pics looks like there's more ink there than before.
I've already spent $1,000 and am prepared to spend another $200 tomorrow afternoon to get my 6th treatment. I know the ink was very dark (high quality professional ink) and I know it's harder to remove ankle tattoos, but I saw so much improvement after each of the first 3 treatments, and then after the last 2 hardly saw anything! I'm sure a lot of you out there can relate to hating your tattoo, but feeling like the faded, spotted mid-removal remnants of the original tattoo also sucks!
Any advice? Anyone else feel like their progress stalled after the first couple treatments?

Looking great!!!
1 month after my 4th Picosure and it's almost gone!
Provider Review
Maryland Laser, Skin, & Vein Institute
Such a nice place and the staff was very nice. I feel extremely comfortable going to a doctor's office instead of one of these places that only specializes in removing tattoos. They are having me wait 2 months even though other places say 4-6 weeks, and keep it moist with ointment and wrapped in a bandage for 2 weeks, to allow for better healing and better results which I think is probably an excellent idea!
