Regretting Cover-up Tattoo. Treatment with Picoway laser - Oslo, Norway

UPDATED FROM Eci

Still here. After 13th treatment.

This is what it looks like after 13 treatments. I’m not giving up.

After this many treatments, wait 4 to 6 months between treatments to give your body time to absorb the ink and you save money. Best of luck.
Good Advice.. Though I am surprised it is taking so many sessions and still needs more, considering the hype of less sessions (more money) for pico lasers than the q switch, any ideas??
Have you thought about switching lasers? I just saw another one recently - Enlighten by Cutera. I don't know if it's better but maybe worth looking into. Have they told you an estimate about how many more till it's gone?
SLOW DOWN! After 13 treatments, we would recommend waiting 6 months between treatments. Give your body time to absorb & eliminate the ink.
ps lasers just dont' seem to be much better (or better at all) than ns lasers. certainly not for the costs in comparison.

nevertheless - I hope you get a great result when you are all done!
any updates on how you're doing ? Did it take 3 years to complete 13 sessions?

After 12th treatment

Hi
Sorry for mot updating for a while. I put the treatments om hold over the summer, but i am back in it again. After 11 treatments with the picoway laser i felt a saw little improvment. So i switched to the picosure. It uses different wavelenght. I have had two treatments so far (making for 13 in total) and are quite pleased with the results. I had my 13th treatment yesterday. Compared with the picoway i have had vert few blisters, which is awesome, as those of you who have been with me for while know i used to get the most horrendous blisters.
Anyway, posting some pictures from what it looks like healed after the 12th treatment (11 picoway and 1 picosure)

Looms like good progress especially on the reds. The picosure will be good I hope!
Are you having pigment loss issues on the black as well as the red? Or has it corrected itself over time. Looking good so far. Any idea how many more tx you have until complete removal?
New to the forum and just wondered if you’ve had any additional treatments since your last update? I hope you will continue to provide updates.

After 8th treatment

This is how it looks healed after the 8th treatment. Still slow, but steady progress.
I just had my 9th treatment today. Can`t belive I have had nine treatments. I had hoped for more progress, but at least I can see some improvments each time. I don`t regret starting it. I hate the tattoo so much that even if it takes me a long time and a lot of money it will be worth it in the end. Will post pictures of the 9th treatment after it has healed.

I feel the same way. Even though I have this half-faded mess on my chest I'm so much happier for having started removing it than if I would've kept it!

Keep it up! It's slow but you have really great progress so far!
Wow yes it's faded quite a bit. I thought the flowers were pretty but the black part was too dark like you said. I'm thinking white added to the black part maybe could have grey 'd it out perhaps but what do I know I'm not a tattoo artist lol great progress though hun ;)
This is amazing! You have come so far, it's so nice to see the progress. Thank you for posting!
hey??? how are you? can you tell us ??
Hi. Just posted an update now :)
Looking so good. I can't believe how much your tattoo has lightened. You are so close to the finish line and having the tattoo gone entirely. This is encouraging to me because I'm using the PicoAway laser to remove a tattoo on my shoulder. I'm only 3 treatments in, but your pictures give me hope.
Thanks! I look forward to the day this thing will (hopefully) be gone. it`s been a long journy so far, but definetely worth it. Good luck with your own removal! :)
