The clinic admitted their mistake. They had the setting as if I had multiple treatments done already. I left in unbearable pain, and 1 week later my skin is burned red still, blisters and very painful still. I had other treatments before on other tattoos and it was nothing like this. They had the settings as if all treatments had been done on this tattoo and they weren't. What are complications to having settings far too high and it is also a very large tattoo (half my back).
Im being lasered by picosure and iv had 3 full treatments of the arm.im wondering are the results so far sufficient .The last treatment was the full arm in 1 session.i have had only very mild blistering and swelling .Are the laser setting too low based on the results .any help wold be great .one photo is pre picosure and the second is after 3 treatments .thanks
How should I monitor the settings my provider uses? What wavelengths should they use? What power settings should they use? What should it feel like and look like during, one hour after 4-8 hours after the next day and two days after? Nobody in my state or the states around me have much experience so I must watch over them. Please answer each question individually. (When you say just use picosecond) that doesn't answer my question on specific lasers. I've called every office in Oregon+.
So far I've had 2 Q-switched and 2 Picosure treatments on a black line-work tattoo that is just under a year old. I've noticed only a tiny amount of fading after 4 treatments total. Is my tattoo resistant to laser removal? Could it be that the technician is not using the right settings?
PicoSure Setting Focus Lens: 8.0, 0.40j,10Hz ZoomOpticLens: 6.0, 0.71j, 5Hz under 1500 pulses. Im of South-Asian ethn. Fitzpatrick 5. After my first treatment the treated spots under my eyes were swollen, bruised, red and even a small blister and very hot even the next day. Treated patches same day at least 5 shades darker. Was the setting too extreme powerful ?
