Tattoo is gone

I realized I never updated this (from seven years ago!), but I wanted to post so folks could see that tattoo removal works if you're patient and go to the right place. I believe I ended up doing about 7-8 sessions with the picosure. I wish I had stopped about one session earlier because I've got some hypopigmentation, but it's not too bad. I also recommended Pigment Tattoo and Laser to a friend (after another place left her with a scar) and her tattoo is pretty much gone as well.

Two weeks after fourth treatment

User Avatar

It's been a couple of weeks since my fourth treatment and I'm not noticing much of a difference, but I'm hoping it continues to fade over time. The guy that does my laser is testing out some new equipment that brings blood to the surface of the area getting lasered, so he treated me with that both before and after. We'll see if it improves my results. I love that he's always trying to improve on what he does and doesn't charge extra for it. I highly recommend Saxon at Pigment if you're in Austin or nearby.

Update before 4th treatment

User Avatar

I'm posting a before and after photo because it's tough to see a difference when you see something every day. The photo on the left was before any laser and on the right is after 3 treatments. The lighting is obviously different, but it's definitely lighter. It has turned brown, which is a little concerning, but I've read about this happening to other folks, so I'm not too worried. I'm getting my 4th treatment this Saturday, so I'll update again after that.

Dont worry, mine is turning brown too and the doctor said it is because the black ink is not pure (?) :) it will fade
