I’m really disappointed. I have to amend my previous pronouncement that it’s not painful. The laser itself doesn’t hurt because of the anesthetic, but that wears off pretty quickly. My second and third treatments bled through the bandage before I got home. The worst thing is that it’s like a festering burn for more than two weeks afterward, it’s extremely itchy and painful. Well no, that’s not the worst part. This is the worst part: THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO DIFFERENCE. No fading, except for slight fading in the center of the stars, and it’s uneven and gross. So here I am, with a terribly scarred, sore neck, and $600 poorer. If it weren’t the back of my neck, I’d just get a scalpel and snip out the ink myself. What a blower.
