Treatment #3...

         
           This one was much better than the last treatment. There wasn’t as much red ink to treat, so it barely blistered and didn't sting near as long as last time! 




         
           I recorded this one so that people could see how fast the treatment is.  In the video I’m holding a device that blows super cold air.  Since it’s a laser; it immediately feels like a sun burn. So the cold air helps to relieve the sting and minimize the pain.  I don’t use any numbing cream or anything like that, just an ice pack beforehand.  So while it can get uncomfortable at moments, it’s quick and tolerable!  I wave the cold air around for more of like a distraction. It’s probably just a mental thing, but it seems to me like it helps! (Hahaha)  It’s no different than when you’re getting the tattoo done.  The needle as the tattoo is being done can be quite uncomfortable, but as soon as they stop tattooing, the area will just throb for a bit. This, however, is way quicker!  Also, they use some kind of gel to help prevent most of the blistering. Obviously though, there’s no real sure way around it.  Blistering is just part of the process for some. Not everyone will blister though.


          The first video is the black ink being treated. The 2nd video is the red ink. Next treatment is in 6 weeks!
