Dr. McLeod and his entire staff are professional, knowledgeable, caring and so very supportive. I was really impressed with the support they gave me before, during and after my BBL and Halo combination procedure. Highly, highly recommend!
Great experience great results. Had BBL, Halo and laser resurfaging. Also got lip filler for natural fuller lips. At 60 yrs old I feel and look great! The ZO products are wonderful. My skin has never felt and looked better.
Got three tattoos that I liked initially , but have become very uncomfortable with them. So three months later , here I am having them removed. I did a lot of research and decided picosure is the way to go . Luckily there's a Drs office that has it about 11 miles away from where I live . Had first treatment on all three tattoos ( shoulder , hip , foot ) it does hurt , but I don't care about the pain I just want these things gone so I can feel normal again . I know it's a long and slow process but my Dr seemed optimistic about my tattoo removal. The colors in my tattoos include black , grey , purple , white , and green . Was told picosure was great for the purple and green. Was nervous about the white because I was told it could turn black when lasered and could possibly not be removable, but to my surprise my white ink did not turn black !!:-) One treatment in and I'm seeing a difference, especially on my shoulder and hip . I know my foot tat is gonna linger awhile:-/ but I do see some difference in that one as well . Trying to be patient and positive. Updated on 9 Aug 2015: I noticed this morning additional fading on the green leaves of my rose tattoo on my hip ! Nice to see my skin . This is after the first treatment, about 4 days later . Updated on 9 Aug 2015: Updated on 10 Aug 2015: Updated on 10 Aug 2015: Updated on 10 Aug 2015: Where did the purple go ? :D so relieved the white in this tat didn't turn black !! Updated on 11 Aug 2015: Ok so I know I'm probably worrying too much but I noticed where the ink faded on my foot tattoo , my skin looks a little brownish . I sent pictures to my Dr and and they said give it more time to heal and if it remains hyper pigmented it will only be temporary. They said this happens sometimes, post inflammatory hyper pigmentation . I hope I haven't done anything wrong , I've kept it covered from the sun , or have put gentle sunscreen on it ( spf 50 ) am I just worrying too much ? None of the other tattoos I'm having removed are reacting like this Updated on 15 Aug 2015: I have a feeling this will be my first tattoo to go , based on the fading already . Can't wait to wear all my tanks again! The purple on my hip pretty much gone and just a little green left , I also see some fading in the black Updated on 17 Aug 2015: Updated on 18 Aug 2015: Was looking through my pics and found pics of my tattoos when they were brand new . As they healed some of the ink " fell out " and I never went back in to get a touch up , since I decided they were a huge mistake and wanted to remove them . They looked so dark !! Updated on 18 Aug 2015: My fresh shoulder tattoo and coot tattoo Updated on 25 Aug 2015: Hi there my tattoo regret friends , so out of all 3 of the tattoos I'm having removed I feel like my foot is giving me the most drama . For one thing it's the one I can't stand the most . I know it wasn't by any means a bad tattoo it's just too big and bold and dark for me , and it also drives me nuts that some of my cute shoes I love cut the design off in a weird place , like across the birds face and just looks weird to me so I don't wanna wear some of my favorite shoes now . I feel like I'm limited to boots , sneakers , or sandals that have a lot of straps that cover the majority of the tattoo . Maybe I should just wear my shoes anyway and not care , but I don't because I think it looks weird . Anyway , I developed blisters on my foot that popped on their own and got scabby, the scabs that have flaked off have black ink in them ! I guess that's a good thing .. Updated on 25 Aug 2015: Sorry if I'm posting too many photos! Updated on 26 Aug 2015: Updated on 3 Sep 2015: My second picosure treatment is scheduled October 7th at 2 pm . I'm hoping to see more fading! In the mean time I'm become good at covering my foot tattoo with makeup from the drug store! A thick layer of spf 50 then a thick layer of concealer, then a layer of powder, then a layer of med-full coverage foundation, then a layer of powder does the trick to wear any of the shoes I want !! :-) my shoulder tat I don't try and cover because I'm afraid my makeup will rub off on my clothes but I choose shirts that cover the majority of it , and my hip tat is always covered. Updated on 3 Sep 2015: Here is my foot covered in sunscreen concealer powder and foundation. This allows me to wear all my cute shoes while I'm going through the tattoo removal process. It's not 100% perfect but nobody's gonna look that close at my foot , and the makeup pretty much lasts all day . Updated on 15 Sep 2015: 22 more days til pico treatment 2 ... I wish I was doing it right now ! It'll be 8 weeks since the first treatment on October 7 when I get the 2 bs treatment , I'm hoping to complete 3 sessions on all three tattoos by the end of the year . Updated on 8 Oct 2015: So , I had treatment 2 yesterday, I don't think it hurt as much as the first time . Don't know if it was just the anticipation and nervousness of the first time , or if the numbing cream worked better or what .. The dr raised the settings , I see significant fading on the shoulder tat even though it's still inflamed and red and ugly right now , there's way less ink , I see fading on the foot tat , the scariest looking one is the rose hip tat very red and bruised looking but I can see that more of the outline faded . Gonna see what I think when it all calms down a bit , I do have blisters on my foot . Updated on 8 Oct 2015: Areas I see some fading from picosure treatment 2, post 1 day Updated on 10 Oct 2015: I hope this isn't just my imagination but I think I see pink skin showing through on this tattoo 3 days post treatment 2, that green is being stubborn Updated on 10 Oct 2015: Foot definitely faded a little more not as much as I'd like but as long as I'm seeing progress that's ok , gotta be patient, shoulder still pretty irritated and scabby Updated on 13 Oct 2015: I'm wondering what will be under these brown scab things once they come off ! Updated on 15 Oct 2015: Really not that much shoulder tattoo left ! I'm a little concerned about post inflammatory hyper pigmentation but the dr says that's temporary , I'm thinking I may ask about using hydroquinone to lighten it , hip ( rose) tattoo definitely getting lighter the green faded more , and my foot is faded more also , the blistered areas are healing . Updated on 15 Oct 2015: Was wondering if anyone else has experienced the post inflammatory hyper pigmentation , I've kept my shoulder out of the sun and spf 50 daily ... My foot is a little hyper pigmented also .im told its temporary and will go away once treatments stop , but could take 6 months . Updated on 18 Oct 2015: Shoulder looking way better Updated on 3 Dec 2015: So picosure treatment 3 is happening today at 2 pm , wish me luck ! Updated on 7 Dec 2015: Here's how things look 4 days post picosure treatment 3... More blistering this time from higher setting . Updated on 7 Dec 2015: Here are some zoomed in pics , my foot is sore Updated on 13 Dec 2015: 10 days post picosure treatment 3 Updated on 5 Feb 2016: Hi sorry I haven't updated in awhile , I have new pics to show ...

Updated on 5 Feb 2016: Updated on 5 Feb 2016: Updated on 6 Feb 2016: I'm 2 days post treatment 4 having issues loading pics from my phone , don't know why . Lots of blistering and swelling this time . Updated on 6 Feb 2016: Ok let's try loading the photo again ... Updated on 6 Feb 2016: Updated on 6 Feb 2016: Updated on 6 Feb 2016: My foot is way more swollen after the 4th treatment !

Updated on 10 Feb 2016: Updated on 10 Feb 2016: Updated on 10 Feb 2016: Updated on 13 Feb 2016: Updated on 13 Feb 2016: Updated on 13 Feb 2016: Updated on 15 Mar 2016: My shoulder , wow I'm pretty sure pico number 5 will knock this tattoo out ! Updated on 15 Mar 2016: With every treatment I see more and more flesh tones showing through . Updated on 15 Mar 2016: I get the most frustrated with this one . I'm a sandal girl or flats ( that show the top of my foot ) it is fading for sure but sometimes after its done healing I feel like it's still darker than I thought it would be . I'm still covering it with make up on a lot of days when I wear sandals etc Updated on 29 Mar 2016: Just had pico 5 a couple hours ago. I was happy my dr lowered my price to 450.00 as there's less ink to treat with my shoulder tat being mostly gone . Updated on 29 Mar 2016: Updated on 29 Mar 2016: Updated on 30 Mar 2016: Updated on 30 Mar 2016: Updated on 3 Apr 2016: Look I think this one is getting a lot lighter ! Updated on 3 Apr 2016: Updated on 8 Apr 2016: I think this one is being stubborn , I do see progress but it's slow , it's hard to not be discouraged sometimes , having this on me makes me feel ugly :( it was pretty saturated with ink Updated on 20 Apr 2016: Updated on 20 Apr 2016: Updated on 20 Apr 2016: Updated on 27 May 2016: I just had pico 6 today ... Ouch ouch ouch good news is Dr says laser is still loving my tattoos ! In other words it seems to be picking up lots of ink . Im laying in bed with ice packs though , ugh ! Updated on 28 May 2016: Aww the swelling blistery phase ... Hope I don't have to do it that many more times Updated on 28 May 2016: Just a few specs of ink treated on my shoulder this time . Updated on 5 Jun 2016: Updated on 5 Jun 2016: Updated on 10 Jun 2016: My shoulder tat is gone ! I can barely see a spec or 2 of ink left Updated on 6 Aug 2016: Hi here are how my hip and foot tats are looking 8 days after picosure treatment 7. Still healing but have definitely faded more . Updated on 11 Aug 2016: Updated on 6 Sep 2016: Thought I'd show a nearly healed picture of my foot tattoo and my hip tattoo . Updated on 24 Sep 2016: Usual swelling and blistering , and crazy itching on my foot Updated on 2 Oct 2016: So things are still healing obviously but these are getting pretty light !

Updated on 10 Nov 2016: Updated on 2 Dec 2016: Just got home from my 9th picosure treatment . I had my foot and hip treated ( my shoulder tat is history !) I will say when the machine is set at the highest level the pain is at the highest level ! But I'm also happy to say the machine is still picking up whats left of the ink ! Yay ! I've got my bandages and ice packs on , ready to go through the healing phase again . Updated on 2 Dec 2016: Updated on 23 Dec 2016: Hope everyone has a great Christmas ! Wanted to show updated pics , it's getting there ! Updated on 12 Feb 2017: My hip and foot tats 2 weeks post picosure treatment 10. Were getting down to the last little bits of ink.
