FAQ’s:
What skin issues does PicoSure treat?
Unwanted brown spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, pigmented lesions, melasma, wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
What areas on the body can PicoSure treat?
PicoSure is safe, versatile and can treat multiple areas on the body, including face, neck, chest (décolleté), back, arms, hands, and legs.
What does PicoSure laser treatment feel like?
The sensation of the laser light on the skin may feel like a slight pinprick or the sensation of heat. The sensation of heat may last for an hour or longer after the treatment. Cold air or a cool gel pack may be used during treatment or post-treatment to cool the skin and to minimize warmth. You will also hear a slight snapping sound during the treatment and feel the touch of the laser distance gauge (part of the device) in the treated area.
How often will I need treatments?
Generally speaking, most patients require about 1 or 3 consecutive treatments to achieve their ideal appearance goals. These treatments are spaced apart by at least 2 to 4 weeks, or sometimes as long as 8 weeks if you have sensitive skin or a darker complexion.
How quickly will I see results?
The results for this treatment will appear gradually according to your skin’s natural regenerative abilities. For most patients, results are first visible about 2 or 3 weeks after the first appointment. Your results will continue to improve until your last treatment, or until optimal results have been achieved. However, depending on your treatment goals, you may notice results sooner or later than other patients.
Who is a good candidate for PicoSure?
This treatment is safe for all skin types and tones. If you have one or more anti-aging skin concerns or you have pigment-related concerns, you are likely a good candidate for this treatment.
