WORTH IT$800
I had a black tattoo on my lower forearm about 6 in by 3 in. I went to a clinic in San Diego and it cost 280 a treatment. It took 4 treatments and it is gone! I love it. I did treatments 2 months apart to allow ample healing.After the treatment I used peroxide daily pouring it on tattoo then applying a&d ointment and finally covering in a bandage. I did this routine after each treatment everyday for 10 days. My doctor told me that the laser starts the treatment but after care is just as important!I recently moved to southern oregon and I wanted to continue getting my tattoos removed. I have a half sleeve on my upper left arm very colorful and a small one of the same colors on my chest. The doctor who I went to see in oregon had a total different approach and I just get the feeling that they dont care half as much about the patient as they do about the money coming in. Im a little worried to continue at this clinic because the difference in care from my old doctor but I really want the tattoos removed!They told me it will take up to two years to get rid of the green and blues on my arm. Has anyone dealt with green and blue removal? Will it take this long? This new clinic tried to do the laser without any anesthetic as well. OUCH! I don't recommend that.

I had my first treatment at the clinic in Medford. It went good, at least the care from the provider was good. I was in so much pain afterward! Never felt worse pain in my life. Probably because it was over such a large portion of my body. My entire arm is super swollen and I have huge blisters on it. It will be worth the pain in the long run though!

I had my second treatment yesterday, and I felt a lot of pain yesterday too. I was in tears. Blisters have already formed. I am expecting 4 weeks until it is healed. I can't wait until it is finished.

The tattoo that I have now is black with red outline. I had just completed my second treatment and the red has started to fade. This by all means is not a quick process. It will be at least 5 treatments spread out 8 weeks apart. My guess, closer to 8 treatments. Expect to be sore for at least a week afterwards and you have to keep the wound dressed. I think light blues, greens, yellows, and oranges are the hardest to fade. I asked the nurse on Saturday if there has ever been a tattoo that couldn't be removed, and she said, "No".

I have a small tattoo on my chest that I have already had one treatment on and would like to have a few more to get it light enough to cover up. I am fairly new to Medford and am wondering where everyone goes to have this done? Thanks
