Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

A long past due update.
Since my last update, I completed between 10-11 treatments with the Q-switch laser at Eterno. At that point, my husband and I decided that we wanted to have a second child, so I stopped treatment.
Fast-forward to February 2016. Eterno has since closed its doors, and I was excited to learn that just an hour away, a dermatological office now has a Picosure laser.
In February of this year, I had my first Picosure treatment. It was about as painful as my previous Q-Switch sessions. Results-wise, I am definitely seeing a difference. It actually removed a significant amount of the dark pink pigment on my left wrist, which up until this point has not reacted very well to the laser.
Today I go in for Picosure laser treatment #2. I am cautiously optimistic that these darned stars will be removed yet!

5th & 6th treatments completed
I have now completed my 5th and 6th treatments.
After my 5th treatment, I noticed very minimal changes.
On my 6th treatment, we again, increased the laser frequency. The areas with the lighter pink are hardly being picked up by the laser now. I have very little of that ink left, hurrah! I really thought that colour would be much more difficult to remove!
This time around, Linda focused on the darker pink on my pink star, and did not laser the black. We did this to minimize blistering. I had a good reaction (meaning a few small blisters and some redness) which means I will likely have a good result in lightening this time.
The blue star is still taking it's time, although I am noticing subtle changes with each treatment. It's always so much more painful to laser, compared to my pink tattoo, but the pink tattoo always blisters ...the blue one never does! So funny.
It's only a week since my 6th treatment, and I am still very much healing, but I already see quite a difference in both tattoos. That feels so GOOD! I really can't wait for the process to be over...I'm impatient!
'till next time :)

4th Treatment
Just had my 4th treatment completed.
It felt like it went quicker this time, but the pain was the same. I always get worked up right before the appointment, because I know what is in store!
Glad to be done another treatment though. Can't wait to see what results we get from this round!
I am scheduled to go back the end of July. I'll be sure to update with photos before then of what progress we've made from this treatment!
