PicoSure laser tattoo removal: what can I do about this hypopigmentation? (Photo)

July 23, 2018
Asked By:lovetorun2 in Brighton, MI

I am getting frustrated with my Picosure Tattoo Removal Treatments. When I started this, many interviews said it would be shorter (as opposed to other lasers) and that treatments would be complete in about 6 treatments. I am now on my 14th treatment and, as you can see, I have hypopigmentation and I still have my tattoo. Any advice? Please don't tell me to quit, as I have so much money and time invested into this. Perhaps a different laser other than the Picosure? Thank you for your time.
