I haven't updated in awhile, but I've been continuing with my treatments...... I'm extremely happy in my own skin now. <3 <3 <3 With the package I've paid for, I can get free treatments for one year after the last paid-for treatment. The paid package ended in May of last year. I took a break from May until late January. So I can go for maybe one more free treatment in April or May....if needed. Things have gotten much easier to deal with. It's been a long time since I've blistered. I no longer have a strong reaction at all, now that there's almost no ink for the laser to respond to. Also, they've done a treatment which is supposed to heal the bumpy scared skin, from the red ink, and it seems to be working pretty well.

Hi! You said you got a treatment for the “bumpy scarred skin from the red ink”....... I have weird skin where my red ink was lásered! Is this a thing? I’ve been worried about it. Why is the treatment you’re having done to correct it?

Hi! Super late response since I haven't logged on to this site in forever, but yes, I think it's fairly common to have an allergic reaction to ink. From what I've heard, some folks have an allergic reaction when first getting tattooed, and others have a reaction when the tattoo is being removed. They are using a laser to correct the texture of the skin, which is intended to increase collagen production. They say it's the same laser that they use to work on people's "ice pick" acne scars on their face. Luckily the office already has that laser, so they are able to include it in my package. Good luck!

more clearance, and the skin seems to be totally done healing. think i have some hypo-pigmentation (super white skin where the tattoo used to be) but that's okay.

Great results! Do you think it was the picosure laser that was able to remove alot of the green? How much did you have to pay per treatment?

Another photo (same number of sessions)
BTW i've now spent at least $6000 on laser treatments, plus more for bandages, lotions, creams, massage to help manage the swelling, etc.... could have bought a used car for this amount... but yknow what? STILL worth it.

So awesome! This gives me some hope :) I'm using picoway on mine but they don't have the new wavelength yet to target the greens and blues but so far I see the other colors slowly lightening after 2. How many weeks were you waiting between sessions?
