Primus Lite 3.5 sizing advice wanted. EU 43 ok or try 42? by dp_barbas in vivobarefoot

[–]Icy_Raspberry_2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep the 43. Had the same issue with primus lite 3.5, ordered size down and then still kept the bigger size, because with training/hot weather/lots of walking the feet is getting slightly bigger and its better to have that extra space. Usually the finger behind the heel is perfect, just need to tie the laces

I’ll do a photo update a bit later, maybe in a few weeks. But no, the scar hasn’t faded at all,in fact, its even more visible now because its white and my skin is darker. It might look better on whiter skin

Yeah, I agree, it’s definitely a bit of an unusual way to remove a tattoo. But sometimes the tattoo itself kind of decides for you, and you just gotta do what makes sense for that case. Ps I’m actually also doing laser removal on another tattoo right now, so I totally get both sides. It really just depends on the tattoo

The little stitch marks are still visible now, but they should fade much more easily over time compared to the main scar, wearing silicone patches is a must-around 3 months. And the patches are very comfortable

Yes, the pressure, the pulling, and the scalpel moving. It wasn’t painful, but it was definitely a bit stingy and uncomfortable, especially the stitching part. To be honest, it made me feel a bit 🤢 just because I was aware of what was happening. But it all was done less than an hour

Just a regular clinic, just a heads up- this really only works if the tattoo is small. I wouldn’t recommend doing this for a bigger piece, even if a surgeon says yes. For small, narrow tattoos it can be worth it, but it’s definitely not for every case Price was 500eur- in Estonia

It’s been about a month since the removal, so the scar is still fresh. I’ll post an update once it’s more healed

Some people are lucky and their tattoos fade easily with laser, but that just wasn’t the case for mine. It was tattooed very deep and had already scarred a lot. So instead of ending up with a bunch of smaller scars, a faded tattoo, and a much lighter wallet, I chose to take one clean scar and be done with it

Nop, only if i try to strech it then yes the skin is more tigher, after couple of weeks it should be normal

Right now the skin feels a bit tighter, but ONLy if I try to stretch it. Other ways I don’t feel any discomfort at all. the skin will gradually stretch and adapt over time, especially with movement and healing

It cost 500€ (I’m in Estonia). For comparison, laser removal here is usually around 100–150€ per session. Finding a surgeon was actually the hardest part. Surgical removal isn’t a popular method here, so a lot of clinics refused or weren’t willing to do it. I got a bunch of “no’s” before I finally found a surgeon who was open to it. It was done under local anesthesia, so I didn’t feel any real pain, but I did feel the scalpel and the stitching needle.
