Session 9
rme7062July 8, 2017
WORTH IT$245
I had session 8 back in December and recently had session 9. I had some pretty good fading within that time frame. I've attached pics from session 8-9 and from where I started to now. My doctor thinks that I may need one more and that should take take of it. During my initial consultation he told me 6-8, I estimated 8-10. This has been a long road, but worth it. I attribute my positive results (no blistering or scarring) to having a Doctor who knows what he is doing, having a really good aftercare routine, and being patient.

Here is a comparison of the amount of fading ink between treatments 6 & 7. For anyone starting or thinking about starting this process, remember that Patience is key.

Any more updates?

It seems to me that this is not going any quicker than with nanosecond lasers. Are you paying more for pico and considering you were told it would take 6 sessions are you happy that you may have many more to go? Has the doctor given you any further indication as to how many treatments will be required?

Hi there I just posted an update. 6-8 sessions was my doctor's original estimate, but in my mind I set it to be 8-10. I pay about 245 per session - that includes pico, other lasers (med light, yag), and a no blister treatment. Being flexible and patient are key during this process since there are a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration - colors, skin type, knowledge of your doctor, and aftercare. I think focusing on the results as opposed to a number of treatments is really the way to approach this. Mine was very saturated, but since I saw continuing results after every treatment i knew it was just a matter of time. I may need one more session; it all depends on the next few months and how things fade.

Seventh treatment down
rme7062December 21, 2016
I waited about 16 weeks to have my seventh treatment. My doctor is really pleased with how things are fading - the end is near! He is recommending that I continue to wait longer between these last treatments since now the ink being dealt with is more towards the surface. He did say that I would bruise more but the arnica gel should help with that. I got zapped with all four lasers as in my most recent treatments, but it didn't hurt as bad. I had swelling and the slightest pinpoint bleeding.
