3 Enlighten Treatments

WORTH IT$325
Just wanted to post a few pics after 3 Enlighten treatments. There's fading as you can see the difference from the darker roses which have only had 1 treatment. I want this gone but have to keep cover up as a backup plan, i am not convinced it can be fully removed.... Staying hopeful

I thought that complete removal with mine would be impossible since it was deep, black ink but I've continued to push through and I'm close to the finish line. I recently switched to the Enlighten and I am loving the results! And I truly think yours has the potential for full removal. It may take a few more sessions, but it's doable!
I hope so, thank you! How many sessions in are you ?
I've lost track of how many total sessions I've had, but it's been close to twenty. However, I started off using q-switch, then picosure and now Enlighten. I've had 3 Enlighten sessions and I've used the PFD patch with the last two Enlighten sessions. I have pictures on my review you can check out.
Your progress is amazing to see! When you were treated with the Enlighten, was it zapped in a small dot pattern spaced apart or was all the ink treated with a large dot size? Hope my question makes sense.
Thank you, comments from others vantage point are always helpful reminders that it is actually fading away. The laser zaps are small, I couldn't even imagine to think of how many zaps during a session but certainly a lot of them thats for sure !
Thanks for the reply. I recently had an Enlighten treatment done and was different from a Picosure treatment prior. With the Picosure, the entire section of ink was frosted but with the Enlighten, only small spaced out dots. Trying to figure out if that's the standard way to treat ink with Enlighten. Either way, makes me hopeful after seeing your review.
I had one session with Revlite and noticed the entire area frosted but that session did absolutely nothing as far as removal for me. Now that was only 1 session on a new fresh tattoo but the results after my first Enlighten session were amazing compared to the Revlite. I would say hands down go Enlighten but understand so many people have different results with different lasers

Going in for Enlighten session #2

About to head in and wanted to snap a few pics. These are 7 weeks since my first enlighten laser treatment. Some line breakup and some good fading, hoping this will be long gone after 5-7 total sessions with the enlighten laser. You can see the untouched 2 outer roses darkness compared to the rest.

Enlighten laser session #2, this time we lasered my entire tattoo which wraps around my forearm. I had about 25 lidocaine injections to numb the area, I have to say could hardly feel a single zap of the laser. My first treatment I used no numbing and it was extremely painful. I will post some pictures soon, it took about 10 days after my first laser treatment for my arm to feel normal and it is super painful just a few hours post treatment tonight...
I had lidocaine injections with my first few picosure treatments and the medicine in the lidocaine preventing the skin from fully absorbing the laser because it wasn't frosting like it should have been. I hope that doesn't happen for you, but if you don't see much fading, it could be a factor. Once I stopped the lidocaine injections, I began to see fading.
That's great to know, I mentioned that to them actually. Hopefully I'll see some good fading over the next 2 months, if not I'm going back to no lido ! Thank you :)
Wow, that looks great for one session! I'm going in for my first Enlighten session this upcoming Monday. So far I've had 3 q-switch and 12 picosure treatments. My tattoo is mostly faded, but still visible. I'm hoping the Enlighten will help it the rest of the way. I'm curious... do you know what settings are being used on the Enlighten for you?
I'm sure the enlighten will help you, I hope it will. I can't remember the settings, for some reason I am thinking 3.1 but not sure if that is it. I will try to find out and post when I do

Good Luck !
These are amazing results! Congrats :-)

Definitely lots of good fading -- congrats! 

Thanks Eva, it is nice to hear that. I will update with some pics again soon

3 days post Enlighten Laser treatment #1

Quick update 3 days after my first Enlighten Laser treatment. I've had quite a few blisters and the entire area treated has been a bit painful. I've maintained keeping the area protected with antibiotic cream and aquafor. I've seen more fading and line breakup in 3 days than I did after 6 weeks with my only Rev Lite treatment. I was skeptical about the Rev Lite and honestly think it was a waste of time. I am so happy I found the Enlighten Laser and can't wait to see how the fading goes! 7 weeks til my next Enlighten treatment can't get here fast enough

Cool! Glad to see more an more using the Enlighten. I'm using it as well as a few others here. I've seen way better results with it over the other Medlite that I had 3 treatments with. Also I picked the docs brain about it and did a little right up, check it out if you get a chance. Good Luck my friend!
