One week after Reverse

Jessica_Det
It's now been one week since I went for my next session and ended up getting switched to the new machine, Reverse. The picture looks awful, and that's because it is awful. I definitely miss the healing process for Eliminink. I was "supposed" to leave the bandage on for 72 hours, but I could only go to about 50 hours because it kept oozing out this gross stuff that smelled DISGUSTING. So, I took the bandage off and just left the clear Tegaderm stuff that he puts on each time. This is day 4 of using the ointment (which he said to use for about 5 days) and after my bath I'm going to apply the scar cream for the first time since the session. There's not really any pain, but it is veryyyyyy itchy. I will post pictures again later when I start to see some changes.

Jonathan did a great job and was completely honest with me about the entire process, including explaining that with each session it would be a little more painful due to skin sensitivity. He answered every question I had with total honesty. He took his time & made sure I was okay. Highly recommended if you're looking to get your tattoo removed.

I'm really interested in seeing your results. Is the reverse device the eclipse micro pen?

Yes, it is. I will continue to post photos as I see changes.

Any updates since ? I am curious to see if Eliminink is better than the awful laser tattoo industry which is one big scam.

Can "Reverse" remove tattoos with permanent makeup and color containing iron oxide?

Session Three

Jessica_Det
So, there's been a little change in plans. I went yesterday for my third session & he actually got a new machine. I no longer get eliminink, I now get what is called Reverse. It works a little different from eliminink and is said to work faster. The downsides are that it is much more painful and went from $110 to $250 each session. BUT, he did say that with this it should be gone within 3 sessions, whereas eliminink could take up to 9 more sessions. As far as pain, it does hurt...A LOT. I'm not even gonna lie, it's almost unbearable. But I survived! Also, with eliminink you keep the bandage on for a minimum of 24 hrs & with reverse you have to leave it on for a minimum of 72 hrs. I'm really hoping this works as quickly as he says. I will post pictures once I can take the bandage off.

3 weeks after session 2

Jessica_Det
I'm a little late in updating, but this is the tattoo 3 weeks after session 2. I haven't seen a drastic change, and pictures are hard to take to make it look like it actually does in person, but I can definitely tell that it's fading away. As soon as the redness is completely gone I'll be going for session 3.

Hi
In how many weeks are you going for treatment and which laser as I am planning to start my treatment in November through alma laser and they told me four week is enough to wait

It all depends on your skin and how it heals. I just went yesterday for my third session and I had waited a little over a month. They said once your skin is no longer red then you should be okay to go.
