Hi all,
Hope everyone is getting on okay with their treatments, haven’t been on here in a while because haven’t been having any treatments lately.
Was booked in for May for session 9 but unfortunately cancelled due to COVID19 but aiming to have next session in September now.
I’ve been exposing the skin to the sun in the meantime and I think that and not the treating the brown areas has really improved it, in fact the brown doesn’t bother me at all anymore.
I have some black left which I am hoping to shift in next two sessions but seems unlikely as it’s taking ages to clear now.
But update on what it looks like today anyways! Hope you’re all keeping safe and well, will update again after next session

Session 8
Hi all,
Just had session 8 with picosure laser.
Didn’t really see any improvement in the black since session seven by the brown is starting to shift.
Technician today said that it was hyperpigmentation and she refused to laser the brown areas, which was fine as I only wanted the black done.
Plan for now is to get rid of the black and hope the rest will heal itself.
Even though the black isn’t shifting quickly I feel a lot better about the process and in a much better place as a whole.
I’ve attached a picture this morning and a picture this afternoon post session.
Some blisters still forming and sure they will get bigger in next few days like they did before.
Again picosure is the only laser that has given me these blisters.
Hope everyone is doing well.

That gives me hope that my dark spots will fade in maybe two or three more sessions to do a cover up on that spot that I really like. Keep us updated.

Mid break update
Hi all,
So had my last session in February and due back in October.
Been on holiday in the meantime so it’s had a bit of sun exposure, although I do apply lotion to it I do still allow it to be exposed to the sun.
Trying to decide what to do on next session, treat the whole thing or treat just the black areas. I do want to see some black shifting, but also love to get rid of the brown.
I’m not sure if lasering brown helps or if it’s just a case of time healing it.
Attached is a picture from July 17 to now, since then I’ve had three sessions, only one of which has touched brown areas and I’d taken a year break.
Let me know that you think all!
Wishing the best!

You have so much perseverance! I hope you get the results you want! I’m still trying to decide if I have the emotional strength to go through treatments
Hi, thank you very much.
It’s very difficult to go through, especially if you had some adverse side effects, but for me I couldn’t have lived with that tattoo on my arm and whilst I know this has been a long and difficult 2.5 years, with probably another year at least to go, at least once it’s all done I can carry on with my life and would have all been worth it

I hope the blisters aren't too painful!
