Hello! :)
I'm back after a very good summer with some traveling, friends, family and good food!
Have not been to the RealSelf in a long time since I've tried not to think about my tattoo this summer, feel it has been the easiest ..... although I really appreciate all here :)
So sorry for the late response to some comments, but will answer my best now and I hope it is still useful :)
Will be posting new pictures soon, Have now had 2 full treatments on my arm (6 times total)

Today I started with 2. Treatment!
I hope I see good fading this time too.
I have little red in my tattoo that the laser didnt work so well on but my tech said that Cynosure is going to send him an update that they have been working on in june to the Picosure laser to boost it and make it work on different Wavelength!
That would be great! :)
Have you guys heard of this??

This have been such a comfort for me, living in Sweden not very far from Oslo. Everybody here says I should just give up and learn to deal with my new tattoo because of the colours, but this has really given me new hope that I maybe wont be stuck with this stupid arm forever. Thankyou!

Hi Lisapaolina! First of all dont give up!! If its the tattoo in youre picture I think you have a very good chance to remove it with Picosure! :) I am so happy that I can help people like you and give hope! That is my comfort in this mess :) So thank you for the kind words, It means so much too me! :)

Thanks :) unfortunately, it's not the tattoo I'm most desperate to get away, haha.. even though I want that one gone too, in time. I've recently made my halfsleeve a foullsleeve, and that is the one that is really bothering me. Of course, I had it done with all the hardest colours, like blue/purple/green/pink and red, a lot of patterns etc, etc. Totally not thinking before inking. The temptation of having a tattooartist in the family was to big..The only thing that is good about this, is that I'm regretting it so soon while it's still fresh. Will soon start on a review to help me get through this (hopefully without goin crazy) :P haha. I've been in contact with your clinic, and I think they seem proffessional. Crossin my fingers they can do something about my arm too. All lycka till med din arm! :)

It is exactly the same color as my tattoo, I was very afraid that I had chosen the hardest colors to remove too, but have read here and even experienced that these colors are no longer the hardest, but rather the opposite with Pico. So I think you have a good chance of removal. That it is fresh is also a good thing, there are different opinions about it, but they said that to me at the clinic so i trust them. :) I've gotten very good impression of Eraze and they have very good prices there too! :) (One less thing that can make you crazy) hehe, But you can send me a message if you need someone too talk to or have any questions! :) I also have a tattoo artist in the family know what you mean :) hehe I like that you will make a review here, then it will be easier for you and those who come after us to see how everything works, especially when Picosure is so new! Tusen takk! ;) Lykke til med din arm også! Glad jeg kan hjelpe! :)

Hows your arm doing after your second treatment? :)

Very good :) All healed! Thanks for asking! :) Have my 2# treatment (part 2) on Friday so that will be exciting! Im going to post more pictures soon too ;)

I haven't heard of any update to the machine that is gong to give it a different wavelength or make it work better on red... this is an interesting concept, please let us know if it actually happens. What I've heard is best is treating reds and yellows with the Q-switched still. I also have red and hello in my tattoo and had pico on the rest and Q-switched on the red/yellow for my most recent treatment today. I would like to hear how your red treatment goes and am happy to let you know how mine are going too :-D
July 24, 2014
So... Now I've heard from the clinic I was at that they are getting a wavelength upgrade to their PicoSure and that it will have 4 wavelengths (but they have to send theirs away)... all the same that were standard with Q-Switched but on Pico pulse! Another clinic told me they never heard about it! Did your clinic end up getting something different with their Pico? I'm so intrigued!

I Have not tried it yet so the yellow and red in my tattoo is pretty untouched :( But the Boost upgrade is real and I think its possible to get it in the US now according to some of the review here! :) Have you found a new clinic? :) Read in youre review that you were unhappy with your old one :( Anyway i hope the best for you! :)
August 10, 2014
Hey; Yes the boost upgrade is real, but it does not change the wavelength, what it does it changes the time of he laser from 700picoseconds to 500picoseconds, which apparently makes ink brakup better and chance of scaring or hyper/hypo pigmentation less. I actually talked to a rep from Picosure! Crazy. Also there is a new machine from a company called Cutera that has the 532 & 1064 wavelength in Picosecond technology, it's been approved in Europe but they (so far) are still waiting for clearance from the FDA. However, the clinic I was going to before claims to be getting one of those machines in the next couple of months... I'm not sure how much of that is true, maybe they are on the list waiting for the approval. The company had posted a news release saying that they were expecting to start shipping machines the second half of 2014. I'm hopeful for this new machine, the 532 in Pico would be perfect for the reds and yellows in our tattoos :-D Looking forward to seeing you new pictures.

Hey there, just thought I would share this review with you as you were wondering about the Picosure Boost:
BEGINNING PICOSURE WITH BOOST UPGRADE - LOS ANGELES, CA

Thank you Eva! :) I am very exited for the upgrade myself, my clinic said it would be here in June, but it have been delayed to Norway ..... :( They would not give me a date when it may come since they have already missed once, but we hope it will be very soon :) How are you these days? :)

You should fare well w/ removal as it looks like your tatt is mainly shading and not too much heavy outline. From what I see it looks great for only 1 treatment!!! Pico is great on the colors you have :) best of luck

Hey Mr Frost my fellow Scandinavian. I live in Denmark, and i havent heard of any Picosure lasers here unfortunately. Do you have a link for your clinic? I live near Germany so there is a long way to Norway for me, but i haven't heard of any in Germany either so.. I think your tat is amazing, but i can definetely recognize the feeling about it not being so great on your own body. I hope all the best for you, stay strong man, and be happy. Whenever i feel down, i either talk to my family or friends and feel better, or simply excersise, which i have found help relieve stress. :)

Hello GreatDane! :) Thank you for kind comments and tips! I wish the same for you :) I too feel it is better to talk open about it now! :) The clinic I go to is Eraze, in Oslo, So just put .no behind it and then you find it ;) I have read on this site that it is more then 1 Picosure laser in Germany, dont know where but I am 100 % sure they are there :) I hope everything turn out great for you and like you said to me, just stay strong :)

I actually found a pico in denmark too, its ***removed 3rd party link*** - but they treat me with revlite currently, because he thinks that is best for my tattoo :-)
