Hi all! This is my first review on here and I...
WORTH IT$1,075
Hi all! This is my first review on here and I really thank all of you first of all because this is where I came when I was looking into getting my three ugly ass tattoos removed. So far I have had two laser tattoo removal treatments using a Medlite Q-switched Yag laser. I live in the Washington, D.C. area and there are not as many places with picosure down here. I found one place called UntattooU in Vienna, VA that I might go to for my next treatment that has picosure so please let me know what you think of my results using the Yag laser and if you think I should change to picosure or stick with it. The place I have gone to already is called the Center for Laser Surgery and it was absolutely wonderful. I got lidocaine injections that made the process pretty much painless. It was just after the treatments when I got swelling, bruising and blisters that it hurt and itched badly. But I followed aftercare instructions and it got better. I wish I knew exactly how many treatments I am going to need but so far with the YAG I have spent $750 on two treatments. The two treatments are all three tattoos done at the same time $500 each treatment for all three. I got a 50% discount for the first treatment so that is why it is only $750 so far. Let me know if you think I got an okay price. When I went to the picosure consultation I was told I could get all three done with picosure and the price would be $540 each treatment so that doesn't seem like that much more for picosure. Woo! Might have to do it. I was also quoted as having to have around 6 sessions for picosure but the Center for Laser Surgery also quoted for about 6 for Medlite so clearly someone is wrong here... Thoughts? And check out the pictures so far!! Lots of love.

Laser Tattoo Removal - Picosure! - Washington, D.C.
Update time! I have decided for sure to go ahead and start picosure for my third laser tattoo removal session!! I didn't originally start with picosure because I couldn't find a place in the Washington, D.C. area where I am with it. However, thanks to someone on this site I found out about a place that opened in the last year called UnTattooU that has it. I went in for a free consultation and was still curious about whether it was good at all on mostly black ink tattoos instead of color. However I even posted a question on here about that and another doctor confirmed picosure even on black ink is the best. Then, the clinic has a 20% off deal for your first treatment session so that sealed the deal. I just put down my payment of $325 (in order to secure the deal because it was a March only promo) and my apointment is April 23. Do you think I'll see much change after the first picosure treatment? I'm so excited!!!
