hey folks. I went back for my second treatment on saturday 18th Jan. i was surprised (and delighted) that it really didn't hurt anywhere near as much second time round. I'm adding some progress pics from 2 days and 10 days post. lines are blurring - hope to see some good fading soon!

Looking great! Glad the pain wasn't so bad for you this time around - keep up those progress pictures :)

hi! Your treatments seamed to have healed really well with no lasting hypo or hyperpigmentation- nice! How is #2 looking now? Any progress after 10 days post? Thanks!

hey thanks for your comment apologies for the delayed response. i was really disappointed with the results of the second session. it didn't hurt anywhere near as much and the girl that did it said that was because "there is less ink in my leg for the laser to attack". I wasn't very convinced by this answer and will not be spending another £400 with them until I've had a 3rd party opinion on this. i suspect the laser was on a lower setting, in which case I will be requiring an explanation from the company that did it.

Hey, would love to see how your tattoo is looking now? I have stars as well unfortunately. How unoriginal. :-(

hey I will upload another picture soon. there is barely any more progress unfortunately. as per my comment below the second session was pretty ineffective. best of luck with yours though!

Hi, I also have bamboo tattoo and last night having had a good look at my tattoo after taking the dressing off, (just had 3rd), I was wondering why the center section is fading much faster. Then realized under this part I had previously had a machine tattoo. Not sure why this would fade quicker as bamboo on top. But either way, it is. Will post my latest pics this weekend and will keep updated on yours. Bye for now.

Hi, I'm considering to get 5 of my tattoos removing with picosure laser . Can i know how much you paid for your first session of picosure?

I went to trueskin in Bluewater

I got 5 tattoos. Not really big one. Just done my laser tattoo removal at trueskin , harley st. It cost me 750£ per session. Ouch.
January 15, 2014
i can't imagine getting 5 done that must have really hurt. sounds like you got a good deal though. hope to see some progress pics from you! i'm in for session two on saturday
January 16, 2014
Now its the 4th day already. Seems like its the same like usually. Non blistering also.

hi guys. seen some good progress as the blisters have started to heal and shed. as (i hope) you can see there has been fairly significant fading across the entire tattoo. i am more confident now that the treatment actually works! based on the results I've seen I've decided I will go for my second session after 6 weeks. it's obviously a long and slow process, but i'm optimistic.

Any update on session 2?
December 30, 2013
Hi Eva, Apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately I have not yet had the second session yet. I was lying there with the laser pointing at my leg, but the lady was worried I might have been exposed to UV after the last treatment so said i need to reschedule. I expect to go back at some point in january. I will post a pic shortly of the tattoo in its current state. Thanks for your interest! Will
