11 months with 1 Picosure treatment 7 months ago
WORTH IT$2,440
I've had one expensive ($400) Picosure treatment in Feb 2019 this year whilst here in the US and nothing since.
Both tattoos are fading still although more slowly now.
I'm back in the UK shortly and will go back to 3-4 monthly treatments of Qswitch as it's a lower cost solution.

I'm now more or less exactly at my two year anniversary of my treatments. The picture is this week. My last treatment (8th) was back in June so it's now been 4 months. I've now moved to the US and decided to have a quick Picosure treatment to see if this accelerates the fading, and in particular the black ink. I'll post photos up in 4 weeks to see what you think.

Let me know if you see better results with the picosure. If not I've heard femtolaser is coming soon. Also worth checking out the soliton device that is coming as well.

My buddy had his hand tat removed and it was dark black, red, and a little green. His results only required a little over a year for complete removal. I cant recall the exact laser (it was German) but removal does work man, just need the right technician. I've had one treatment with it so far and noticed good fading. Anyways, goodluck bro.

Cheers. I'm actually not in too much of a hurry so I've only had 9 treatments in two years so effectively one treatment every 12 weeks. Time does seem to be a healer and if you can wait saves you a fair amount of money. I'll post a picture in another couple of weeks of the Pico treatment. Its more painful but less blistering is the only comment I'd make so far.

Would love to see your post picosure pictures! I am 3 treatments in and was thibkibg that after the 6 q switch sessions i have already paid for, i could accelerate the process with 1 picosure session!

Just added a recent picture after 1 picosure treatment. I'm not convinced it's worth the extra money.

Good progress, I don't know if mine will ever go at the moment! I've had my second session, at what point did you see the most fading? Thank you!

Hiya, I actually have seen the most fading after 6 treatments. I've not had a session for the past 12 months and the fading is continuing. If I get a chance I'll put a picture up at some point. Good luck with your tattoo removal journey. Keep your chin up, it will fade away.

My mistake...this is my 8th treatment!
I must have lost count with the number of treatments I've had as this is actually my 8th, not my 9th. Im still on the Q Switch and I'm pleased with the results.
The team are amazing and it's reassuring to know (and see) a real case study as one of the team has been through the whole process herself and her tattoos are almost completely gone.
I'm not going to lie...this one hurt. The power has slowly increased on each treatment, and the laser head distance has decreased. I was a little disappointed with myself as I did need a 30 second break on the tattoo on my back. I always try to put myself in the shoes of a kidnap victim I met some years ago who would wake up every morning to a beating. If they could live with the pain of this for 5 years I must be able to tolerate 30 mins! Hey ho, I guess he was made of sterner stuff...and he couldn't ask for a break in the beatings.
As soon as the treatment is finished the pain goes. Sure, it's tender but nothing too sore.
I still think it's going to be a two year journey but I know it will eventually be gone.

From what I see the tattoo is clearly visible after 8 treatments, and these treatments usually get less and less effective, so I don't really see how you've already reviewed this as worth it. Well, to each his own.

I'd be interested to see where your research of the efficacy of continued treatment comes from? As you say "each to his own".
