Should I stop using Picosure on my black ink tattoos?!
Hi all! I need your help. I've done I believe 5 (it might already be 6 though) picosure treatments and 2 medlite before that on three mostly black ink tattoos and the progress is okay but nothing that great. I want to re think what laser I'm using. Currently I've been going to UntattooU in Vienna, Virginia that has a picosure laser. Photos are attached with my progress after all those treatments. Help! Is it possible to find another laser that's faster or go back to Medlite? I don't know what to do.
Second Picosure Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment Session at UnTattooU in Virginia!!
Hi all. Update! So just had my second picosure treatment session done. So far this is now two picosure sessions and two medlites before that. I switched the locations of the places I went to too. I did it without lidocaine injections again this time-only the cooling air system-and it hurt a little more but was tolerable. I definitely saw some fading from the first picosure treatment to when I got my second one done today. It faded more over the 6 weeks I waited in between but obviously I wish it would have been more drastic but not going to be the case. Anyway, the third treatment is going to be in 8 long weeks because I was told I need to have a bit more time to heal and for it to fade more in between. How long do you all normally wait in between treatments? Really anxious to get these off my body but it is a LONG process. Keeping it covered right now and with lots of aquaphor on top. What solutions do you use to keep it from drying up and scabbing?
First Picosure Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment Session at UnTattooU in Virginia!!
Hi all! So I got my first picosure treatment session this morning and I did it without lidocaine or any numbing cream!!! The place I went to is called UnTattooU and it's located in Vienna, Virginia and just over a year old. They offer the numbing solutions but I found with just the cooling system (which the place before didn't use) it wasn't so bad. Yay! Anyway, although I was happy that the tattoos didnt bleed or blister from the treatment they also didn't show any noticeable change which I did see a little bit after my two medlite sessions. But I guess we'll have to see. Somehow I guess I was hoping for some magical thing where I saw a huge difference after the picosure but this is not the case for me as you can see in the pictures. I also was told I will probably need about 6 sessions and getting the two medlite ones didn't help it move faster because it's just a totally different laser, etc., which is very frusterating. What have been your experiences with picosure on black ink? I'd love to know! My next appointment is in 6 weeks.

Melanie is absolutely professional and very informative and kind. I would highly recommend her for treatment. When I had concerns with my bleeding after the treatment she responded promptly and even texted with me when I showed her pictures.
