So I have recently began my " picosure journey" with trueskin Harley street. I am a week in and can only describe it do far as ITCHY as hell! I round like to chart my journey with photos over the coming months. Advice and reassurance would be hugely appreciated. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Congratulations on your decision! It looks like you have already had some good fading! My doctor prescribed Locoid lotion for me and it really helps with the itching.

Sorry I havnt a clue what setting it was on but it was a picosure machine and it hurt like a b**##rd so am assuming fairly high!

Haha or maybe they just knew what they were doing. I had 1 session on mine with the picosure and haven't seen any fading at all

The girl doing my removal has 12 years experience... Would defo recommend trueskin Harley street. Where are you having treatment? Am reading reviews all the time and it does seem a bit hit & miss even with the picosure...which is concerning seen as it's mega dollar! Hmmm, perhaps you need to ask for a different laser technician ( is that what they would be called?!)

I totally understand your pain, I am also a victim of "when a tattoo artist does what they want" i feel like punching myself in the face everytime I look at my horrible cover up! I am just praying the day will come when I wont have to hide this [RS bleep] anymore! Yes the 1st week in is peeling and itchy but that's just your body reacting to the treatment. It gets better just keep it moisturized. Your fading looks good btw.

Luckily it's winter so I can cover my arm. Am a little concerned that the redness and raised itchy rash is still very much in force but hoping it's all normal?

Im about to start my treatment with picosure in 3 weeks and cannot wait to get the ball rolling! Have you been putting cream on it to stop the itching?

The itch has finally stopped after 11 days! Jen I used (as advised by the clinic) aloe Vera gel & Vaseline initially but due to severe itching I changed to E45 anti itch cream. back to Vaseline now just to keep the skin supple whilst it continues to heal. Feeling more positive as can see a big difference now that the redness swelling and scabbing etc is almost gone. Good luck with your treatment, you will do great :)

This is great news! Another step towards recovery! I cant wait to get mine started its been hell so far! Are you using picosure laser?

P.s Its going to itch because its your skin healing over and new scabs are forming. What ever you do dont pick or scratch it!!!
