plateauing - advice?
for context:
- I’ve had probably 16+ treatments
- picoway for most of them, but I tried a q-switched laser twice at a new clinic. recently went to another clinic and had test patches on the saturated red parts which reacted strongly
- was a dense coverup, and quite scarred (I believe there was scarring before, but I blistered pretty bad in the beginning, esp the red so I think this caused more scarring)
- been at this since like 2019; had around 5-6 treatments in 2019, took a break during Covid, and since then have been spacing sessions out 4-6+ months apart
- would like to look into fractional laser but having a hard time finding a place that offers both. I believe the scarring is making it so the laser can’t penetrate/the ink can’t escape but idk
any advice + insight very appreciated!!
to be fair, it was extremely dense and black before so this is definitely progress, but I feel like i stopped seeing progress around the session 12. the last couple particularly look as if nothing happened.
