• Posted to Laser Tattoo Removal on Arm... Waiting to See Results on 7 Sep 2012

  I did a bunch of treatments at a & e and was VERY unsatisfied. They use the Palomar nd yag laser which is great for tattoos, but the technicians are not proficient in using it. Depending on the color of your tattoo, it may not work. The technicians do not adjust the wavelengths of laser light for each color...and if you have a green/blue color in your tattoo that laser will never get it (It needs the 755 wavelength of an Alexandrite laser) Also, your first few treatments should see the most fading...and if your treatments are anything like mine you will see practically none. They started my settings at 2 mm spot size and if you do extensive research as I have done, you will find that only damages the skin. After all of my treatments and money spent at a & e, I am left with about 30% of my tattoo on top of scarring caused by the laser.
  I just switched over to Farah dermatology. I have only had one treatment, but they give a dermatologist consult at every session and adjust the laser type, spot size, and wavelength based on the color of each area of tattoo. Also, they have a technician with extensive experience operating the lasers. Its more expensive because they don't do "package deals", but I wish I had spent my money with them from the start. Over the long haul it would of saved me money and frustration.
