Question - Alabama

Hi all,

It's been forever since I've posted on here. I got my last laser treatment about 8 months ago in June. My package ended and I decided to stop for awhile. You can still see it a bit but not from afar. Overall I'm very happy with my results! I may go in ONE more time since half of it is darker than the other but I think only I notice. I was scrolling through my phone and found this picture from today one year ago. I had been getting treatment for about 8 months and still had three more months to go. This was a few weeks after treatment. And here it is today. The results shocked me to see side by side! They said the tattoo keeps healing weeks after your laser session. I thought my final results would have been in July and I was disappointed. But just letting it be for the past 8 months the scarring has really faded. There is hope friends!

It's been so long! I got my 9th and final treatment in June. It's been a little over two months and it is very faded. The "life" on the right is more faded than the "love" part. You can hardly tell from far away. They still look a bit gray and the area around it is a bit pink. I'm happy with the results but think 1-2 more treatments would make it that much better/more faded-we just can't afford it right now. So waiting it out and hoping it will continue to kind of fade on its own over time. Maybe in 6 months to a year I can get a couple more treatments.

Best fading I've seen so far! It is red around the area though which I hope goes away. Some days it's redder than others. Anyone else have issues with some red around the area? It doesn't look as much like a shadow so I think it's just skin irritation/trying to heal? I have one more session officially but may do more. Excision is not off the table but I think I want to avoid it.
