Had my first laser tattoo removal session today. I was worried about nothing. It was so quick (whilst I sucked on a lollipop yum) and the 'pain' wasn't what I'd call pain. Totally bearable (without numbing cream.) I would describe the feeling perhaps like a static scratchy sensation. Honestly I don't even remember it that much. I've experienced intense PAIN whilst undergoing IPL hair removal on delicate parts of my body NOT with tattoo removal. Admittedly my tatt is small so I can envisage treatment for a larger tattoo to be more sensitive after a while, but still wouldn't clasify it as pain.
Dani was fabulous. She's researched enough to have the best laser on the market (picosure) which significantly reduces the number of sessions overall. I was impressed with her extensive knowledge with post treatment aftercare as she has affiliated herself with drs and Alfred Hospital burns unit. My tattoo was extremely fresh when I first saw Dani and she insisted a minimum 8wk wait before treatment to ensure my skin was completely healed (even though it was healed on the surface.) She emphasized this to avoid any form of scarring. After treatment today I had a cold pack on it for a while and my skin looks great. Most of greywash fine lines have already disappeared. My skin looks and feels fine. I wouldn't go anywhere else for laser tatt removal and believe me I did my research in this field and have had consultations elsewhere. Prices at First Impressions were also reasonable compaired to other places. Bring on the next session!!
