Hi- I also had removal on a wrist tatt. It is slower on the wrists b/c they are extremities...BUT, it is possible. The thing i learned is that, unfortunately, there is no way to "speed up" the removal process. The reason I believe this is b/c the body has to do the majority of the work, with the laser ONLY breaking the ink up. And although the body is amazing, it works at a super slow pace. It's having a strong immune system (as this carries away the ink particles) that is of utmost importance- so staying hydrated, eating well, exercising- all of this will aid the process. Also massage (which moves lymph) and healing oils (vitamin E, bio oil, rose hip oils) are great to replenish the skin as they aid in omegas which help w/ cell renewal. One more thing- in fact I noticed this from yr pics....I would recommend waiting at least 2mo (or more) b/w treatments. It looks to me like the most fading of yr tatt occurred b/w the 1st Pico and 2nd Pico- in which you waited 8+ wks (esp as yr treatments continue on). My Dr told me fading continues up to a year after a session (and I have wwaited 5 mo in b.w some sessions and saw continued fading). Honestly though, your progress looks great- my tatt was a thin, yet heavy heavy outline which is why I think my tatt took so long to fade. Yr tatt looks less dense and moreso like shading to a degree, so I think you will fare really well as you continue along. Taking time in b/w treatments also allows yr skin to heal b/c scarring prolongs healing and yr nxt treatment's results in my opinion. I think your results look great so far :)
