Question

Is co2 fractional good for my skin type if not how can I get rid of this discoloration I hear many opinions

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Instead of a more aggressive laser with longer down time like the CO2 Fractional laser, you may want to consider PicoSure. PicoSure effectively diminishes hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone and texture, as well as fine lines. It delivers the laser energy in picoseconds, a trillionth of a second, to target the pigmented lesions reducing injury surrounding skin tissue making it for all skin types and tones. Although a more in depth full face consultation is needed, based on your photo, you may be a good candidate for PicoSure!

Hello!Multiple cosmetic treatments can help lighten freckles. Laser treatments like CO2 lasers, chemical peels, and photofacials. Laser treatments are most effective on lighter skin tones so that may work great for you. PicoSure can also help lighten freckles. PicoSure is a type of laser treatment that uses picosecond technology to deliver ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin. PicoSure delivers energy in trillionths of a second (picoseconds), which is faster than traditional lasers. This allows the laser to break up the pigment in freckles into tiny particles without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser targets melanin, the pigment that causes freckles, effectively breaking it down. The body's natural processes then eliminate these pigment particles over time. PicoSure is suitable for all skin types.
