6th Treatment - 5 Weeks Later
WORTH IT$200
The fading this time around is better, but I really thought that this latest treatment would be my last. I wonder if it's worth getting a fading cream or just pay for another treatment...

Why did you not have an excision on it (get it cut out)? I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon in a week to hopefully have my wrist tattoo surgically removed and stitched up. Yours is so tiny. It would have been very easy to do.

6th Treatment Update
My latest treatment was on 02/03/14 and I went to the same clinic as my 5th treatment. I really see great results and the only ink that's still visible can easily be covered with makeup now (after the healing process). I thought the technician would actually talk to me this session and tell me if I needed another treatment, but she didn't. She said we'll see in a few weeks. All in all, I've spend $200 for all of my treatments and I hope I'm done!

Congratulations!! You have come so far, and you must be thrilled!! From this picture you can hardly see any remaining ink, once you are all healed up please post a new photo update :)

5th Treatment Update - 3 Weeks Later
My latest picture shows some better fading, which proves my suspicion about the first 4 Groupon treatments being weak. Oh well, you get what you pay for.
The affected area was very tender and itched like crazy for longer than I wanted. I used a lot of polysporin and never popped the blisters. I got it wet in the shower, but was too paranoid about going to a public pool. I didn't want to risk an infection. I kept it bandaged a lot, too.
I will say that that I liked the Groupon tech a lot better. She was much more friendly and provided a lot of info. This latest one was tardy, rude, barely talked and gave no aftercare instructions whatsoever. However, since the price is right and the results are more dramatic I will continue to see her. Hopefully, not too much longer!

This is fading really nicely. I know what you mean about the attitude of the technician; the staff in the clinic I used to go to were very dismissive. The staff in the new clinic are really friendly and I actually feel like they're genuinely keen to see my tattoo disappear. But hey, if you're seeing better results that's what really matters!
