Day 2 after treatment 5
$2,400
I’m excited after looking back at my first treatment and seeing the progress!! My last treatment was about 3 years ago and I finally went back in for treatment 5. The doctor said that the pigmentation will continue to break up and dissolve over the next several weeks. I will post an update at that point. I
am hopeful that I am more than halfway there!

3 Days After Treatment #3
Hi everyone!!
The constant icing of my neck helped A LOT.. Although the area is red, I am not severely blistered like the doctor told me I would be- I am thankful for that! I kept my bandage on a full 24 hours and since then have just made sure that the area is moisturized. The pain was gone by the time I woke up yesterday morning and I finally was able to take a photo today. The area is definitely red but it doesn't hurt (thankfully!), I can see some definite fading on the flowers and the infinity symbol/ date... but I am honestly a little discouraged that the text on my neck doesn't seem to be fading at all... what do you guys think? Looking forward to being healed so I can get back in the gym and go about my normal routine!

The most sense part, the infinity symbol is disappearing like crazy! It is definitely lightening up considerably in just 3 treatments. Just think how great you'll feel after a few more when things REALLY start to go away. Awesome post. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, that looks really good. Picosure sure is working wonders on that tattoo. It will be gone in maybe 3 more treatments I would say. Good luck :)

Just Finished Session Number 3
Hi everyone!
I'm sorry that it has been so long since I have updated. I have been busy with school and unable to come back down to Sacramento for another treatment. Today I went in for session #3! You'd think that I would be used to it by now, but I am not! In fact, I think this is the worst pain I have been in post-treatment and I already know I will be blistering up a lot tomorrow! I've been icing the area since I've been home to hopefully prevent/minimize it. I will post a picture tomorrow after removing the gauze!

I've done 5. It doesn't get easier but you know what to expect by this point. I try to treat myself, when I do it. Kind of associates a positive connotation with it. Whatever your guilty pleasure is do it, or splurge a bit. It helps.
