Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One week after first Picosure
First week is over with. It's mostly healed at this point, a little scabby. The blisters got pretty big, then gradually flattened. The healing process was overall less painful/stressful than it was with the YAG laser.
I can't tell at this point if it's starting to fade or not, but I think it looks like it's breaking up a little. The lines are not as clean as they were before. It looks a little faded in the top right corner of the picture, but there's one little blister left covering the ink.
I've been massaging the area with Aquaphor 2-3 times per day, like she told me to. Also been drinking a lot of water. I'm going to start running again this weekend, hopefully that will boost the fading a little bit.

Day after Pico 1
Still blistered today. They don't hurt, but I hope they heal quickly. I'm glad it isn't an open wound. It doesn't hurt when I touch it.
First Picosure treatment
Had my first picosure session a few hours ago. The treatment itself was slightly more painful than the previous three (I think this might be because she did not ice the area very long); the immediate recovery was a lot less painful, though. Hopefully the next week or so won't be too bad. Right now the area is raised up.
She put aloe on the tattoo after the treatment, and said to use aquaphor starting tonight. I don't have a lot more to add, but I'm going to try to keep this updated through the healing process.
Also want to add that I definitely feel more comfortable at Clean Slate than the first place I went to.
