My Current State of Mind
It feels like I've put my life on hold until I can get this removed (praying to every god) that I can have the patience and determination to fix my mistake and that I get good results. I'm experiencing hyper pigmentation with the test spot and I know staying out of the sun after treatment is crucial for me so I've made an appointment for August 25th and just knowing it's 3 months away is weighing heavily on me. My husband is losing his patience with my anxiety/depression and quite frankly I am too! I've been going to counseling and it helps temporarily but once I get to thinking there's no stopping me. I don't know how to handle this besides binge researching removals and sometimes it help but most of the time it adds to my anxiety. I think I need a break from this site and hopefully I can move forward with my life until I get ready to start removal. From the bottom of my broken heart I wish you all luck and successful removal!
Test Spot with Picoway laser
So my depression has lifted I still feel sad about the choice I've made but I'm choosing to move forward and I'm accepting that removal is a very slow process. Here's an update of a test spot with the picoway laser. I only got 4 little zaps on the petal connected to the thicker stem. The top left is before, the top right is 2 days after, the bottom left is 1 week after and the bottom right is 2 weeks after. There is some remaining redness and some minor hyper pigmentation which I hope clears up in the next couple of weeks. The ink seems to be lighter but it's not a big noticeable change. I will not start full removal until winter. Happy fading everyone!! ????
Consultation with Enlighten
I had a consultation with a Dr who uses the Enlighten by Cutera. It seems like a promising laser and when I start removal I'll probably go there. I'm still doing my research and looking through everyone's reviews to find the best option. My consultation turned into an interview lol he wants me to work for him and do tattoo removal myself! I'm considering taking his offer so that I can get behind the scenes information regarding tattoo removal but that's not my career choice. We'll see maybe I can do that as a part time? Has anyone heard about the Enlighten laser and does it work better than the picosure?
