I sought some different opinion on how to address my rough-textured, large pore, ruddy/blotchy skin with brown spots. One provider: ViPeel to get rid of the top layer so the laser would work better (?) and then three PicoWay laser tx. The other doctor: series of four Picosure Focus treatments only. Price is comparable on a each-session basis. I'm a fitzpatrick I. Does one of the above protocols sound like it will give me a better overall outcome? is the PicoWay new and improved?
