After third treatment/Before fourth

$500
Almost three months after third treatment with pico. Going to let the blue, hypopigmented and oxidated areas rest. Going to treat the red with yag today. Not going back to O’Neil plastic surgery. They were too expensive for less than ideal results.

After third session
jacksonaJanuary 13, 2021
Finally got back into it. I went to O’Neil plastic surgery in Charleston, SC. The tech was nice and I don’t have anything bad to say about them. I don’t know if anyone was at fault for the result or not, there are many factors. They used pico. I had a bad reaction that I had not experienced from the first two sessions for some reason or another. The entire area blistered over and then scabbed over. I got sick and it was two weeks before I was well with no pain. No raised scarring or anything too bad, but there is some hypopigmentation now. It does look like it is getting better, we’ll see.

About a week and a half after 2nd Session

This one was definitely weaker. There has been no blistering/scabbing/swelling. Just minor raised areas and now the most outer layer of skin is peeling like it would for a sunburn. It looks brighter than it did before but it is still slightly irritated. I can tell some of the black lines are breaking up but I still feel as tho the red and yellow are for the most part untouched. The green leaves seemed to have felt the most from it, but I haven’t seen much fading with them either. Again, the blue was left out of this session. It’s only been 12 days so I will update in a few weeks - hopefully with some good news.

Why did you take so long from one session to the second?

I moved to another state and wasn’t even sure I was going to continue. However I ended up finding a place that was half the price with good reviews and figured I’d give it a shot. I’m not very convinced complete removal is an option and I’m not in much of a hurry

Yellow is the hardest to remove apparently, sometimes hard to achieve full removal. I hope your technician is using the right wavelengths though. For red, orange and yellow 532nm, for blue and greens picosure 755nm or ruby 694nm and for black ink best is 1064nm although others will work too because black absorbs all wavelengths. Ask your technician about these details and best of luck in your removal journey!

The picosure worked great for the blue and maybe darker greens. We didn’t touch that part this session, and yes he did use the lower wavelength for the red and yellow for this session. I don’t remember which he used on the green, but it wasn’t the same as the warmer colors. The yellow is definitely being stubborn..
Thank you!
Thank you!
