2nd Treatment 6 weeks after my first one

WORTH IT$3,000
Wow how painful was the 2nd treatment ?.. I really noticed the difference and I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline of getting the tattoo that masked some of the pain in the 1st round, but the 2nd one was more painful which is strange reading many reviews people have less pain.

Dr Keith Kolodzej was great once I told him it was hurting he turned up the cold air and he also got an ice pack from the freezer and placed it on the tattoo area for 2-3 minutes, oh boy that made a big difference. I can recommend that if you feel pain get an icepack on your tattoo 2-3 minutes before you laser it and it will help so much.

Overall it was a great session, the back tattoo is fading less than the front one, but I'm happy with both as it just takes time with tattoo removal and I'm in for the long haul.

I will put some more pictures up in the next week or so if it fades more as I have read it will continue to fade and I hope to get back in the chair 7-8 weeks after this treatment as it's meant to give better results if you leave it for a bit longer.. ( keen to get other peoples feedback on this )

Happy tattoo removal..

1st treatment

item365
My first treatment went better than i expected. The cooling air really helps when they are using the lasers on you.. The shrooms on the front have not changed in colour much, but the man on my back shoulder has changed a little and i can see he will be the first to go..

The drive home was so hard as my seatbelt was rubbing on the front tattoo and the seat on the back one as I'm getting both done in the same session.

Dr Kolodzej provided me with gauzes, tape and vaseline to take home for after care. I'm glad I have taken the first steps to removing the tattoos

Hopefully yours won't take many sessions! A lot of older tattoos on here seem to go away much faster than fresher ones. The drive home was definitely the worst part for me too. Good luck with your removal!
