Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about PicoSure Laser Facial Rejuvenation.

Most clients benefit from 3–6 sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Individual needs vary depending on concerns, skin type, and pigmentation severity. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan and adjust frequency for optimal, long-lasting results.

Most patients report only mild discomfort, often described as quick snapping sensations. We apply topical numbing and cooling to minimize sensation. Treatments are brief and tolerable, and any discomfort typically fades quickly after the session.

PicoSure treats pigmentation like sunspots, age spots, and melasma, as well as acne scarring, fine lines, and uneven texture. It's effective for improving overall tone and brightness, though results depend on individual skin and treatment plan.

Downtime is minimal for most patients: mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint scabbing may occur for 24–72 hours. Makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours, and normal activities resume quickly with proper post-care and sun protection.

Side effects are generally mild: temporary redness, swelling, or slight darkening of pigment before flaking. Rare risks include infection, scarring, or prolonged discoloration. Pre-treatment evaluation and careful aftercare significantly reduce these risks—discuss your medical history with your clinician.

Not ideal candidates include pregnant or nursing patients, those with active skin infections, recent isotretinoin use, uncontrolled medical conditions, or a history of poor wound healing or keloids. Darker skin tones require assessment to ensure safe settings or alternative options.
