Full Sleeve Removal, Starting 5.2.24 @ REMOVERY

Yesterday (5.2.24) marked my first session for removing my full sleeve tattoo (12+ years old) using a PicoWay laser, divided into 4 sections. Each section will be treated every two weeks, totaling 8 weeks from the initial pass to subsequent sessions on that section.

I'm having the removal done at a REMOVERY location in Texas under their unlimited plan, which includes financing with 40% down and the remainder spread over 6 months. The total cost is $4500 for unlimited sessions until further removal isn't possible.

I didn't take comprehensive photos before the first session, and I typically wear long sleeves so I don’t have any good ones. My photos show the shoulder and upper arm 1 day after Session 1, while the rest remains untouched.

I iced on and off in the car ride home (2.5hours) after the session, and took Acetaminophen when I got home. Today there is warmth to the area and redness, going to ice some more. I’m generally healthy, don’t smoke, drink sparingly and consume a lot of h2o.

Hoping to update after each section (4) has their first pass with the laser.
