How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Progress
After my first treatment healed and there was so much fading I was really optimistic that the tattoo would disappear pretty quickly. But since my second treatment has healed I don't feel like it looks much more faded than it did after the first one. It is still fading though, so I'm going to stick it out. Thankfully there doesn't seem to be any scarring either since "unnecessary scarring" can apparently disqualify you from joining the army the same as a visible tattoo will.
After second session
You're supposed to leave the dressing over the tattoo for 48 hours after having the procedure done, but I got tired of not being able to move my neck properly because of the tape and took it off after only 40. Hoping 8 hours doesn't make too big if a difference. It's much gooier looking than I expected, but not in a worrisome way. After doing more research I've learned there is a product called DermRenu that is supposed to be used with Eliminink after the scabbing has fallen off to help prevent scarring. It was never mentioned to me during my proceedure. After the first treatment scabbing fell off I didn't feel or see any scarring and Ms. Karen is giving me microderm abrasions every other treatment to help prevent scarring, so I'm hoping that will help take the place of the DermRenu.
Getting a tattoo removed to join the military....
Getting a tattoo removed to join the military. Found a med spa near me that advertised tattoo removal and called for a consultation. I'd never heard of eliminink at this point, and assumed I was signing up for laser removal. After doing some research I decided to give it a shot. One treatment in so far.
