It takes time but the hyperpigmentation is not as noticeable as it used to be. Same thing for the ink. It's getting better!
I'd like to think I'm almost there.

Encore 3 seances a mon avis et c est fini :-)
J'espère aussi! Comment ça se passe de ton côté, des différences entre tes deux dernières séances?
Hello ! Je le fait biek bronzer et du coup ca me corrige l hyperpigm. Je vois des lignes disparaitrent tous les jours ! Hate d avoir ma 5e seance !
Hâte de voir tes progrès à la rentrée! d'ici là j'espère que tu profites bien de l'été et de tes vacances (si jamais tu pars quelque part ^^)
This is amazing. Have you been using any creams for it?
Thank you so much!
I've been using Pigmentclar from La Roche-Posay. It takes quite some time to see the result but it does work!
Got a question.. as you went through the succeeding treatments.. laser intensity increase..
Did the blistering, swelling and pain post treatment increased or decreased? Getting scared for my next treatment...Is downtime longer or shorter given theres less ink as you progress
It decreased through each treatment for me, but it may not be the case for everyone as it depends on a lot of things like your skin color, laser intensity, ink density etc...
There are even people who don't experience blistering at all!
Good luck for your next treatment
do you intend to have another tattoo? Maybe a good artist can help to cover up the previous 1 and create something you love. :)
This is truly great result, I’m happy for you. I have an Asian male friend who had a similar tattoo on his lower arm as well, took 7-8 sessions and no scarring or hyper pigmentation at all. So stay tuned and positive, and don’t forget to update for us!

do you feel it has faded much since your last tx? are you having any issues ?
It faded a lot after the 4th session, but progress has been slower for this one. I didn't experience any pain while she was using the laser because the doctor wanted to minimize the pigmentation so she went smooth
Did she say you can have full removal with no side effects? How many tx did she quote you? Thanks again for sharing
I think I'll get removal as I can see the heavy lines fading, but I will be left with hyper pigmentation for quite some time (tbh it doesn't bother me that much). You won't get pigmentation (or if you do, not as noticeable as me) if you go for a removal unless you have asian skin!
Is it reversable over time ?
Ca a quand meme bougé depuis la 4e ! Courage !! Tu sais a combien de joules etait le laser ?
Merci beaucoup! et j'ai pas fait attention la prochaine fois je regarderai et je te dirai!
Salut, il t'a combien de semaines d'intervalles entre tes séances ?
Jai fais une consultation chez CLIPP aussi
Salut Dylan, dans mon cas c'est entre 6-8 semaines d'intervalle entre chaque séance. Mais il y a des patients chez CLIPP qui prennent des séances à 4 semaines d'intervalle, je pense que ça depend de plusieurs critères
Yes it is even though it may take some time
looks great I’m happy for you
You're so kind thank you so much!

I've been away for a long time. I used to check on the website everyday and now I almost forgot about it.
It's been two weeks since my forth session. Tattoo removal is such a long process... but it's fading. She said hyperpigmentation was someone I had to expect because of my skin tone, but she prescribed me something for it. If you have any question don't hesitate :)

You're doing great!
Super resultats !! Je suis contente pour toi !
Que t as t elle prescrit pour l'hyperpigmentation ? J en fais pas mal aussi.....
Merci beaucoup c'est trop gentil!
Elle m'a prescrit le sérum Pigmentclar mais sur internet les avis sont mitigés alors je te dirai :(
Comment ça se passe de ton côté pour ton tatouage?
J en suis a 3sessions.. j ai mis des photos sur mon profil. Je suis déçue ca ne va pas assez vite a mon gout. Je le regarde constamment.. je pense que je ne suis pas objective.
Je comprends tellement ce que tu veux dire. J'ai commencé ma première séance en septembre dernier et c'est seulement maintenant que je rends compte à quel point c'est long. Et vu comment le laser pique j'espérais des résultats plus rapides lol! mais apparemment je suis pas à plaindre ma dermatologue m'a raconté qu'elle a pleins de patients avec des tatouages qui bougent à peine alors qu'ils en sont à leurs 6ème séance, ça fait peur quand même...
En tout cas je trouve que le tient progresse quand même bien. Je sais que c'est pas toujours facile, alors courage! perds pas espoir
Salut !
Tu vas chez quelle dermatologue et elle utilise quelle laser? Je suis également en île de France.
Hello ! Je vais dans le 91. Il utilise discovery Pico. Et toi?
Je vais chez un dermato en Belgique. Train Paris -> Lille et Lille -> Tournai je mets 1h30 pour le trajet, ça me coute 60 euros A/R et je le fais les samedis. Mais autant vous dire de suite de que le prix a été divisé par 3 par rapport à Paris... Le cabinet possède Pico Discovery et Picosure.
Pourquoi vas tu si loin si tu es de la region parisienne ?
Hi are you using picosure ? How long are sessions in between are you waiting? You had a lot of fading so far. How many more tx do you have left for full removal ? Does smoking slow down the removal process. Thx fpr sharing with us
I use picosure! And I've been told to wait at least 6 weeks between each sessions. The lighting in the picture makes it look like the ink faded a lot but it appears a lot darker in person, so I honestly don't know how many treatments I have left. And when it comes to smoking, yes it does slow down the removal process
Hi Will. I am having treatment with a picoway laser and am too experiencing hyperpigmentation. Did they tell you if this would go away?
Hello! I don't think you have to worry as it is reversible. It's just that it may take some time to go away
what were you prescribed for possible hyperpigmention?
