Pico Star laser after 4 sessions - normal progress or too slow?

Pico Star laser after 4 sessions - normal progress or too slow?

I’m starting to feel a bit unsure about where I stand with my removal progress, so I wanted to get some honest opinions. The dermatology practice I’m going to has been using the Pico Star laser, and from the very beginning they told me I’d probably need 4–6 sessions. But the more I read here, the more I see people saying they needed way fewer sessions, so now I’m wondering if my progress is actually normal or if I should be expecting more by now.
In the photo, the top shows my starting point with blue/greyish Microblading after several years of touch ups (back then my brows were dyed and laminated). The bottom shows the result after four sessions, taken one week after my fourth treatment.
The shape is still there and I can still see color. Even though there’s a clear color change, those thick bars at the front are still visible. I’m in Germany, by the way, and I’m honestly getting pretty impatient at this point.

I’m currently planning my wedding and thinking about getting a Prada clutch for both my civil ceremony and our big wedding next year. I want something very classic but special, and I truly fell in love with this one at first sight—and my fiancé loves it too.
This would be my first designer bag ever, so I want it to be a beautiful memento of this special time. I briefly considered a bag with a chain to wear as a shoulder bag later, but my fiancé mentioned that a clutch looks more elegant in hand, and I completely agree. What do you all think? And for those who are married: what did you choose as your bridal bag?

Had my 4th Pico laser session and this time I asked to switch to 532 nm. After session 2→3 I barely saw any change and the pigment was already pretty reddish, so I wanted to try something different.

They brought in the doctor and we went for it. Healing feels very different this time — super itchy and it looked quite cool-toned/grey right after.

Really curious how this one turns out… hoping I’ll only need one more session.
