Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had treatment 15 two days ago and I'm healing atm. The last couple of treatments we have just been using the Picosure Boost. I have had some further fading and the hyperpigmentation I experienced last year has improved dramatically. I will take a couple of new pics when I am healed. I feel like I am getting there slowly. I will be having a break now though and probably wont have another treatment until October time as I'm away for the summer and want to tan. Pics soon!

Hi dear! I'm pretty sure you will achieve the complete removal... You sad that the skin changed a bit, I'm not a dermatologist but I suppose that when the tattoo is over you'll have all the chances of improving the texture! :D

Healing well

chezbit
So my tattoo has continued to heal well over the last 2 months and the hyper pigmentation has started to fade slowly over time. The Picosure machine at my clinic has broken and so am not able to have a treatment for another few weeks. I have added a couple of pics of how my tattoo is looking today. I still have a long way to go I think. I have also completed treatment on my wrist tattoo now and you can see my progress on my other thread :)

May I ask if you have any scarring? Has your Skin changed? Or is it still smooth? It's hard to See because of the left ink.
Thanks! :)

Hi, no scarring, although I have noticed changes to my skin. It feels a little rougher I guess but I would rather that than the tattoo!

Is this normal?

chezbit
So, I'm currently 4 days post Revlite and I've noticed that some of the skin in the surrounding areas of the tattoo has gone a red/light brown colour. It looks like skin that didn't contain any ink has been hit with the laser. Is this normal? I'm also worried this could be the beginnings of hyper pigmentation which, if it is, I will be pretty upset. The Picosure had caused no damage or changes to my skin whatsoever throughout treatment so if this is the consequence of treating the whole tattoo with a different laser then I will be pretty gutted. Thoughts guys?

You're having much better progress than I'm having. I'm at 6 picoway sessions and nowhere near as far as you are.
