Hi! I am getting a tattoo removed from my arm and I went in today for my first treatment. They used the Picosure laser but didnt have the hose that blows cold air to help offset the pain. I have had another tattoo done (at a different place) and the hose was used. I know that it doesnt affect the laser and how it works, but is it abnormal to not use the cold air?
