Large, Black, Dense Lizard on Upper Arm Removal with Picosure - Melbourne, AU

I just wanted to put these two shots up side by side. First is pre laser by about a day and the second is today, 4 years later with only 3 treatments with Picosure. Time does a lot of the work if you can be patient. That said, my tattoo is never uncovered. I never wear singlets and I cover it in Elastoplast daily. The thing never sees the sun and I live in Brisbane Australia where the average summers day is about 33 degrees Celsius!! I have lost heart so many times, but comparing these photos gives me renewed hope. Bring on Friday and my first shot at Picoway.

Hi guys, it’s been 4 years (!!!) since I last posted on RS. I had begun my treatments in Melbourne, Australia using the Picosure laser. I was seeing some great fading after only two treatments. And then, I found out I was pregnant with my third baby! Treatments had to stop for the duration of pregnancy and breastfeeding, so here I am 4 years later with only one more treatment since 2014. I had that one in early 2016 in Brisbane Australia, where we live now.

Fast forward to May 2018 and I’m off on Friday for my 4th laser session. This time I’ll be trying the Picoway laser. From everything I’ve read, it seems to be great on black. Over the 4 years since I started, my tattoo has faded considerably. It started out as a very dense black tattoo and I really thought it would never come off. But after letting my body do the
work these past years, I am really hopeful that this time next year I’ll be free of the thing. I know that for most of you, there is no way you could stop laser for that long. I never had any intention of leaving it this long before I started again, but life sometimes gets in the way!

There you go. And here I go again. I’ve attached photos from after my third treatment, and what my tattoo looks like today. I’ll put some more pictures up on Friday after treatment number 4. Wish me luck ????
