Picosure on scarring
Quick update just to say that I originally had a 2 inch scar on my arm from when I was a child which was tattooed over. Having had 2 treatments the shading which covered the scar has completely faded and believe it or not the scar is barely noticeable. How and why I don't know. Maybe it's because there's still a bit of redness there but time will tell. It doesn't really make much difference in my case as I'm getting it recovered in time but I thought I would share the news as It may give hope to those worrying about scarring!
Original pic
Sorry for another update but I found a pic of my tattoo before any treatment, sorry it ain't great but it's of my phone, I know because of the lack of quality in my pics you struggle to see what difference my arm is after 2 treatments but believe I'm amazed at the results so far.
I also ordered a cover up sleeve for my arm, which I wear almost all the time, it feels so comfortable and sometimes I forget I have it on, gives me some confidence as I'm struggling with that issue at the minute.
Hope you all had a great christmas and New Years, despite all this bother I'm going through mines was good, I became an uncle and I think by the times my little niece celebrates her 1st birthday all this will be a distant memory for me!

2nd treatment!
Been a few weeks since my 2nd treatment so time for an update!
The pain wasn't as bad this time, still sore enough for my liking but hopefully from now on the less ink the less pain. Hope it works out that way.
Didn't suffer as many blisters this time and there weren't half as big as last time, swelling went down in 4/5 days and apart from one or two dense areas the scabs didn't last long either. All in all I think my skin copes really well with the laser and heals in no time at all.
All the shading has been completely blasted, well almost there's a few areas round my wrist that are gonna take many more sessions. The areas where the shading was is now pink or a lightish brown, as worried as I am the now I've got to remember I'm getting a cover up to complete my sleeve.
What's been bothering me is the outlines, some are so light you can barely see them yet centimetres away there are lines that look like they haven't been touched yet. I understand it could be more the inconsistency of the tattoo artist while doing the outline. Some lines being deeper than others.
If you have a look at my 3rd pic you can see the difference in the outlines. It's hard to see on my pics as I'm not the best at taking them sorry.
