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.

Post session 2
I've decided to be less active on this site. I found the more time I spent on it..the more anxiety I would have about what results I would get, what the right choice would be etc etc. I've found that stepping awhile has given me an incredible piece of mine. I do think it's important that I come here and post every 1 or 2 months so that other people that are looking for info on other people's experiences have more info to go on.
So on with it...
I had the second treatment yesterday. I went to the same guy as the first time. I feel much better about the experience overall. This time they bandaged me up afterwards (they didn't the first time). I also brought up the fact that the amount they charged was different then what I was told it was going to be..they said the price had changed since then but if I reminded them each time they would honor my original price (thank goodness!) That made me feel better about the situation as well.
I decided not go with the lidocaine injection (or any sort of pain reliever). The back of the neck was OK but doable. The 3' x 3' of the ankle was the most intense pain I've ever felt in my life. I had to mentally put myself elsewhere to get through it. The dr. even said he was sweating afterwards (?). Since some of the red from my original tattoo was showing he worked on zapping that as well. Zapping the red hurt even more than zapping the black (and that's with him turning it down a notch for the red.)
He only does laser 1 afternoon a week so I booked my next three appointments so I don't have to worry about getting in (he does surgery, is a professor, etc the rest of the time). I had to be seen at week 9 for the next two appointments because he was fully booked for week 8.
Anyways...if anyone is interested I'll post a pic shortly before session 3 so people can see the difference between 1 - 2 - 3
