Laser Tattoo Removal - Sessions 1-3 Update

Following up my initial video with progress and recovery from my first 3 laser tattoo removal sessions. These are now being spaced 8 weeks apart and you can start to see the ink fade.

Recovery after the first session took 23 days, for session 2 that dropped to 14 days and my skin has healed in 12 days following the third session. As I said in the first video, it's about £100 per session and I paid for a block of 8 in advance. The session takes 15 minutes including cleaning the area and applying the bandage afterwards. I had paracetamol prior to sessions 2 & 3 and that was the difference in being able to let her work uninterrupted with the laser. In the first session my skin got unbearably hot at times and I needed 10-15 second pauses.

My treatment routine involves a Cu3 moisturiser, Thermal Water Spray and Aloe Vera gel, all bought after my first session from the sk:n clinic where I'm having the treatments. I've since run out of Cu3, it's £36 for 30ml which feels like a lot, and I've since bought a Liz Earle moisturiser for half the price per ml that's working just as well.

Any questions please watch the first video as that contains FAQ information, otherwise drop something in the comments and I'll get back to you. Apologies for all the close ups of my blistered stomach!

I just had my first removal treatment today. Roughly 6”x6” color tattoo on my left shoulder blade. Much more painful than getting the tattoo but it was bearable. A few hours later and it feels like a light sun burn in that area. I’ve iced it a couple of times and was advised to use Aquaphor to help it heal. We’ll see how it goes.

Im getting a bit tattoo removed. They recommended to put bio oil on it, as it helps prevent scaring and moisturisers it really well. I had 4 sessions so far and no blistering at all.

Oh .. I've had one session and no blisters, I'm now really worried about the next ones ... I don't really want ones like that 😕

I have had 4 Laser treatments on my left arm and 5 laser treatment on my right arm. It's so expensive and very painful 😬 in 2 weeks time I'm having laser on my left arm so that will take it up to 5..

Pico is the best tattooing it doesn't take as many sessions and it doesn't leave you blistered or scarred

[Cheyenneado]

For the intense itching I do a deep layer of aquaphor, drink crazy amount of water, and take an antihistamine medicine. It helped so much!

You're paying for alot of extra sessions. You'd probably save 5 sessions if you waited longer because your body is carrying it away constantly. It's what my Dr recommended actually too.

Put ice immediately after the laser session it will reduce the inflammation thus helping you heal faster that's what I do.

Will take probably 20+ sessions cause of size and darkness maybe even 30 but don't lose hope

I’ve just bout the picosecond laser £1200 with shipping I figured it would be cheaper in the long run all the crap I’ve got to get rid of

[lizgitschier]

[sianakaraatanasova]
