WORTH IT$400
I am having a couple tattoos removed, and I had been going the YAG route for the last year or so. YAG was producing slow results. Luckily, I found the Picosure laser for tattoo removal. I am seeing major results after only one treatment with this laser. If you are using the old methods, especially on a blue or green tattoo, stop immediately and find a Picosure!

So you recommend picosure? The closest one to me is an hour and I'm debating if its worth it. Is it a lot more expensive ?

I totally recommend the Picosure. I think if I would have had access to this laser from the start, I'd have saved A LOT of money because I'd have needed less treatments. The place that I am going charges about the same for 3 treatments that I paid for a package of 10 with the old laser, but the old laser didn't clear the tattoos. I'm no expert, but I definitely think it's worth getting a consultation to find out your options.

In my opinion it does work much better and faster on the blue than it does on the black!

Tattoos are still fading. I'm waiting a full 8 weeks to have another treatment hoping the additional fading will be significant.

I just had my first Picosure treatment today. I have the same color blue in my tattoo and it's almost gone after one treatment!

On my shoulder and upper arm. I had to drive 3 hours to the Skin and Vein Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Definitely worth it!

Hey - I actually went for a consultation at New Jersey Plastic Surgery for partial removal of my blue ankle tattoo, back in June. The doctor I met with, I think it was Delvecchio said she hasn't seen much improvement with the Picosure vs. the older lasers, however as you can see on this site it definitely seems to work better. She was not very convinced that it would work well on my tattoo. She also said they don't offer any numbing... was it very painful? I am thinking of going back in the fall and trying the Picosure.

Hi.
Dr. Delvecchio is the Dr. that I am going to. She didn't seem excited about the Picosure, but I had already seen some photos of the difference in removal. That said, I don't think she had it turned up enough, I didn't really blister much, but I did see good results. I think they can be better based on some of the photos I'm seeing on this forum. I'm going to ask if she will turn it up for the next treatment.
It hurt just as badly as the old treatments I had, and I used numbing cream. The upside is that the Picosure treatments are VERY quick. The Q switch treatments I had seemed to take much longer.
I'll post side by side photos of the total fading after my vacation. My next Picosure treatment is for August 25th.

56 Days after first Picosure treatment

My next treatment is Tuesday. As you can see in the side by side photos , Picosure did make a huge difference! Parts of the large tattoo are completely gone. I don't think she treated the orange at all, and it actually looks darker because the other colors have faded so drastically. I am going to ask her to pay special attention to the orange this time. In addition, because of the phenomenal results on the fading of the hand tattoo, I am going to remove the star from my ring finger as well. I have heard that tattoos that have never been treated respond better to Picosure, and it will be interesting to see the level of fading on that compared to the others because the others were somewhat faded to begin with.
I'm already dreading the pain, but it is obvious that the pain is completely worth it with this laser. I have not had any hyperpigmentation, and I have kept these tattoos slathered with sunscreen during the healing process.

Welcome to the community. Thank you for posting your pictures and details of the treatments. I am anxious to watch these fade as you go through the treatments. Keep us updated.
