Picosure for tattoo removal, bright red spots and bleeding. Any suggestions? (photos)

January 18, 2016
Asked By:Jg5975 in Southeastern, WI

I had my third picosure session two days ago. I'm concerned the reaction is not normal. I had a good amount of bleeding there are fairly large bright red spots. I've attached photos before and after each treatment for comparison. I have contacted the doctor who performed the treatment but have not heard back. Reputable center, treatments performed by Doctor with extensive experience. Is this normal? Should I be doing anything different for aftercare?
