Tattoo Removal with YAG Q-switch laser

UPDATED FROM buttonbaybee

Treatment 9

buttonbaybeeJune 8, 2017
Sorry about the long break! I just wanted to check in and give a quick update about my process. I have completed treatment 9 and will be headed in for #10 in a few weeks. Although the process has been slow, there is tons of progress from when I started. I will say that this last round I didn't notice as much fading... I'm hoping to see more when I go back. I'm still happy that the tattoo has faded evenly and I have had no blistering or scarring. I have been researching the picosure laser thinking maybe I could finish up with. Couple treatments of that, but I'm a little nervous about potential scarring. Any advice from others is welcome!

I think you'd be a good candidate for PicoSure after using q-switch, but it may take up to six sessions or more with the more expensive laser. That said, the best results that I've seen come from people who have undergone q-switch then switched to PicoSure. Looking good, so stay the course and it'll go.

Thanks! I was thinking of switching to PicoSure in January. I will be posting an update— I have noticed so much more fading since my last post.

The pico laser is supposedly less likely to scar, isn't it?

I wanted to add a side-by-side pic of day before first treatment and a few weeks after 3rd treatment. I'm also happy it's fading evenly :))

Finally getting around to putting up a few pics and giving an update. I went in for my 3rd session end of February. Again, the settings were bumped up, but I can say that I didn't feel much pain at all. I had the numbing cream applied for about 20 minutes before starting the procedure. I have noticed a lot of fading since the first treatment. The color is a much lighter brownish gray. No blistering... Just some raised lines (minimal) that went away after a couple of days. A little red and sore, but noting more than a sunburn. I have been pleased so far with how my tattoo is coming along. I see results and I'm so happy that my doctor isn't being too aggressive. I don't want to end up with a scar of my tattoo lol. Next session scheduled end of March.
