3rd Treatment cost

I promised to share the cost involved for my 3rd treatment and here's the damaged:

@ $212/- for 3rd treatment, which is the same as compared to the last treatment

1st: $382

2nd: $212

3rd: $212

Total spent on treatment so far: $806

There isnt much medication except for Bilaxten 20mg which is for the itch during healing process.

Bilastine can be therefore classified into the same chemical group as many of the new antihistamines on the market, although it is not structurally derived, nor is it a metabolite or enantiomer of any of them, but an original molecule designed with the intent of fulfiling all the requirements of a second-generation antihistamine.

Possible side effects of this medication includes headache and drowsiness. Uncommon side effects (affects 1 to 10 users in 1,000) include abnormal ECG heart tracing, blood tests which show changes in the way the liver is working

Tattoo Removal 3rd Treatment

Today marks another day for my treatment for tattoo removal and I will now show you 3 pictures that is the direct result of today's procedure.

Picture taken before the treatment

During the treatment, the usual burning snapping pain of the skin occurs and the doctor was quick enough to try to talk to me continuously to divert my attention away from the pain. Process takes like less then a minute or so but to me, its seems like the time passes so slow.

This was taken immediately by my doctor after the laser treatment

As you can notice from the results as compared to my very first treatment. The white frosting seems to be much lesser. It may be due to the reason that my skin has 'get used' to the laser or another possibility is that I DID NOT apply the numb cream. Of course the pain is super sensational!

Getting home, this is how the wound looks like

The medication left from the first treatment has still enough to last me for this session and maybe the next. I will share the total cost so far in my next post. Stay tuned.

Tattoo Removal Process

When the laser beam strikes the ink in your tattoo, it goes through the top layer of your skin and hits the ink. It causes a tiny explosion, breaking the ink into smaller pieces.

You can hear the continuous 'piak piak piak' with each laser pulse and will feel something similar to a rubber band popping against your skin. This can cause discomfort and this video below will show you exactly how the procedure is done.

For illustration purpose only I am not affiliated with this video or clinic

To make yourself feel more relax, you can be just talking during the procedure. The use of a stress or “squeezy” ball provides significant reduction in pain and anxiety by way of distraction.

Other things that help decrease discomfort is cooling the skin before, during and right after your laser tattoo removal treatment. There is a numbing cream that can be applied to the skin a few hours prior to you treatment if desired.

The final thing is that treatment is quite fast and the speed of the treatment is much faster than the time it took to place the ink.
