Hey there, I have a consult soon with Jayne. Was that price your total price?

It's hard to say, there is a 10% discount if you buy in a package and they didn't guarantee the removal after the amount I paid, which I'm assuming I'm good to need more treatments then I originally purchased. In the end it will probably cost close to $4500+

6 Weeks Post Treatment 2
I'm starting to wish they had the boost setting available up here in Alaska or the r20 treatment. I don't feel like I'm seeing much progress except for on the tattoo on my upper back. I see a little fading. I go back for treatment 3 on 2 more weeks. May have the doctors in California so one round when I'm on vacation a few months from now to see if there's a difference in technique. It's hard to tell at this point.

Picosure is a 755, which is not the right wavelength for black ink. The 1064 is the best one. It can be hit with a high power QS laser such as the Piqo4 and then the pico pulse of the same laser for residual ink.

We are very limited on which lasers we have in Anchorage. I will try to look into this. I believe there are only 3 people in town who perform this and of those three only one is an actual doctor.
Thanks for starting a review -- I am wishing you lots of luck with your removal and I look forward to following your journey. Do you find the treatment painful at all? What do you find most difficult during the recovery stage?
I have noticed that the feet and ankle areas tend to really swell up on some people, I hope your compression garment helps. Workouts are totally going to help you, too many benefits to list! Keep us posted on your progress. ☺
