Q-switched and Picosure Complete Tattoo removal of large Red/green/black Chest Piece Tattoo - Austin, TX

I began this process January 2014 and foresee it taking about 2.5 to 3 years to achieve complete removal which is my goal. I have had much smaller all black tattoos removed from both of my inner wrists and achieved complete removal after about 20 sessions or so ( I lost count). The things I have learned about tattoo removal are 1)it is expensive 2) it is painful 3) you have to have patients because the results are slow going. I also wanted to add that at MEDermis they use the Q-switch laser not Pico sure. We have been using the 1064 frequency on the entire tattoo from sessions 1-4 and began using the 1064 on the black and green and the 532 frequency on the stubborn red. Although the 532 frequency is not as powerful therefore doesn't penetrate the skin as deep causing more entrance skin damage, I have actually noticed that some of the green leaves which we have used the 1064 frequency on only, are beginning to show signs of hypopigmentation and even some raised scarring. Once I achieve my goal, I will look into some skin resurfacing but that's way down the line. I hope this review is informative. Thanks for reading!

The microdermabrassion is helping fade the tattoo some in my opinion. I have been giving my skin a much needed break from tattoo removal and start again with tattoo removal sessions once the Texas summer is over so towards the end of September.
