WORTH IT
I wanted to upload a pic under better lighting I took today finally seeing results from.the 4th treatment six weeks in. I also started putting aloe everyday and shae butter, I'm taking zinc and vitamin c tablets regularly as I read they are good for skin. I really have seen a difference since...

Awesome results! U can ask ur doc if they plan on getting a laser attachment on the picosure to target the red wavelength or use another laser on ur rosary to knock it out! The black came along nicely! Congrats

Thanks they just got the new attachment for red its a form of picosure, the red was only treated once with the new laser, the beads dont bother me so much as the bird I almost done mind if they stay but I'm glad they'll try the new attachment again on my next visit

No I stopped because the cost has been adding up to fast. I have about the same fading. I am thinking of booking an appt in February, if i could get some funds together...

It sure does get costly! Be sure to update your review when you get your next treatment.

6 Weeks After 4th Treatment

I looked in the mirror this morning and wanted to share an update. It is now 6 weeks after the 4th treatment, I am scheduled for my next on Sept 14th. I noticed this morning that areas have completely disappeared. You can see the lines that connected the beads to the cross are completely gone in some areas A few areas of the bird have vanished completely, i'm not sure why the top tip of the wing on the right side has not faded like the rest of the tattoo but I'm hoping it is just being stubborn, I was discouraged a few weeks ago but feeling a lot more confident now...thinking about moving up my next appointment to next week instead to keep the process rolling.

4th Picosure Treatment

User Avatar

I have been behind on my posts and took a break from picosure for a while between March - August, I just recently had a picosure treatment two weeks ago making it my 4th treatment ( i had lost count and thought I had one more but this was my 4th. My 3rd treatment faded a lot but I haven't noticed to much of a difference in fading between the 3rd & 4th treatment. I do see slight fading but I had really dramatic fading with my 3rd treatment so it might be slowing down now or its just to hard for me to tell. The clinic I go to just started using a new picosure laser made for red ink so i tried that the first time i sort of see a difference in the red ink but its hard to tell in pics. :)

Your tattoo really is fading  nicely. I was anxious to hear more about the PicoSure Boost, so glad you mentioned it, and I hope it clears that red well for you. I created this new discussion about the PicoSure upgrade, please check-in here to get the conversation started. Keep us posted.
