i am just waiting on some cash flow to start before I go in for treatment #2. I am so stoked about this whole thing. The pico is just an absolute monster. I am almost 2 months post treatment number 1 and there has been a significant amount of fading everywhere! I can't wait to go in and get both my tattoos treated. I am excited what my tattoo future holds for me. Today is a good day!

How was the healing process? Blisters?? I've seen some monsters. I'm very happy for you and your results. Hang in there. I hear it is quite the process.

my blisters were pretty gnarly, but they go away and leave absolutely no scarring as long as you dont mess with them! the longer they are there the more ink they pull. i am 8 weeks post treatment numero uno and every single day it seems like more ink is pulled from my arm. i will be having my 2nd treatment very shortly and yes, it is a LONG process, but its exciting as well!

That's not a bad thing, I actually wish I waited longer between sessions as I did scar a little, so I think it's better to wait.

the place i get treated makes me wait 8 weeks between sessions. i have absolutely no scarring and the tattoo is getting more and more faded every single day it seems!

Nice!!  The Picosure is known for not scarring... you're so lucky to have it near you. I have purple in my tattoo and it's not responding all that great, but I have seen other tattoo's treated with the Picosure and it blasted the purple after one treatment. My fingers are crossed Toronto gets one soon.
