I have been to a consultation and have gotten one test treatment on my tattoo. The tattoo has several colours (red, yellow, green, blue, black), and the nurse mentioned it could be tricky as the colours seemed to go quite deep in the skin. She tested the laser on different patches including all colours, so we´ll se how it reacts to this. This initital test is also to see how my skin reacts to the laser.
The procedure itself was not that painful, but I guess doing a total laser treatment of my entire tattoo will hurt more. Only three patches of ca. 3-4 cm was done today.

Post 1st treatment with Picoway
rosetattoo1June 12, 2016
Hello folks!
I´ve had my first treatment with Picoway and still in the process of healing. After I did a testpatch I bruised pretty bad around the area, but this time I have almost no brusing, just redness and concentrated dark effusions of blood on the treated area. I guess they are scabs coming off eventually.
It seems that the red is fading OK, and I can see the black lines breaking up. As for the green and blue I can se no difference, but hoping to see more the upcoming weeks. I am drinking loads of water and trying to get daily vitamins to boost my immune system. Also I´m using Locobase Repair Creme on the tattoo. Anyone who can share their post-treatment regime? I´ve read some use Bio Oil, Zinc-cremes and Bepanthen.

I see what you mean about us having similar tattoos. The colors take a long time to fade, but one thing you have going for you is that it seems to be on your arm -- which is an easier spot to heal than the foot, since it gets way more circulation! Also, I've done a fair bit of research on this, and it seems that very fair skin (like we both have) actually has the best results with eventually being able to clear tattoo ink. Best of luck!

Hi, sorry for this late reply! Yeah, it's on my arm, and you're right about my fair skin. I've been reading about good result on pale skin too, so Yay for that:) I'm in for my second treatment soon, excited! Thank you for the wishes! I am glad to see such good results on your removal journey.

Great start, it looks like your pink responded really well.

Yea, I can see some nice fading on the pink/red! I think these pigments are not so deep in the skin, and also not as dense as the green and blue.

I agree -- really great start. Looks like the PicoWay is going to knock out that red ink no problem!
