Cosmetic Tattoo Laser Removal Diary

Cosmetic tattoo laser removal diary.

Hi! My name is Valy and I am 25 years old. In January 2007 like many other girls, I decided to get a tattoo eye liner. A friend of my, had her eye liner done overseas and I liked it, but I never actually stopped and thought that getting something permanently done is not something that can be removed over night. Moreover, I never thought that that could be a turning point in life.

The day I got the eyeliner done, I knew this was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. It didn’t hit me until the ink was applied to my eyes. As soon as I got home I went in my room and cried. The only question in my mind at the time was, what have I done? All I could think was I can never remove it from my eyes. At the time I just wanted it to disappear. I even got an eye infection from crying.  I didn’t go to work for a few days.  I thought that everyone at work would look at me and be able to tell what I’ve done. This made me feel uncomfortable. I see so many people out there with tattoos on their body but I didn’t like the fact that it was on my face. I couldn’t apply any other colours to my eyeliner and it was just black line on my eyes day and night. I started ringing places and sending enquiries about removing it.

Every conversation I had and every email that I’ve received was that it’s hard to get it removed because of the fact that it is so close to your eyes. I had a friend that was working in Sydney at that time and her name Is Elizabeth. One day I rang Elizabeth and told her about my tattoo.  She promised me that she will enquire in Sydney too to get it removed. She got the same reply. One day I was searching on the net and Victorian Cosmetic Institute caught my eye. I sent an enquiry through the website and expected bad news based on the other results. Later that week I received an email asking me to see one of their cosmetic doctors. I booked the appointment and went with a friend and my older sister.  I consulted with Dr Gavin Chan.

Dr Chan was so relaxed and welcomed me to his office. He went through the procedures. I was so scared, I wanted more opinions and I sent another enquiry to Box Hill, the reply was, ‘we don’t have such a procedure here, but I know someone that can’.

At the bottom of the page there were the details of Dr Chan. I looked at again  I said to myself hmm, I am sure that’s the same doctor that I’ve consulted with already.  Late 2008 I finally made up my mind and booked an appointment to see Dr Chan again. When Dr Chan looked at the report and said to me “I’ve seen you about a year ago” he laughed and said, do you still want to get it removed? I replied, ‘Yes please, but as long as you don’t hurt my eyes’. Dr. Chan smiled and said, ‘I wouldn’t do that’, and took a picture of my eyeliner just to see the results every time I went to visit him. However, the procedure was so easy within half an hour I was out the door and drove home. I had a very successful results and the price was reasonable and affordable and didn’t even take me more than four sessions. I am very glad that I decided to see Dr Chan.

I now look at the pictures and I really would like to thank Dr Chan for making it possible to remove something that was permanent and dangerous to my eyes. With a doubt I am happy to recommend anyone that wants to remove a tattoo.  The procedure is easy and Dr Chan is very pleasant doctor that would explain every step and always available if you have any concerns after the procedure.
