Hi!  One of the reasons that PicoSure is so amazing really is because there's minimal downtime.  Most patients have redness and mild swelling after the procedure lasting anywhere from 3-12 hours.  Now, during that time, I recommend keeping your face cool and not do anything strenuous.  So I guess you could look at that as 'down time', but anyone (besides your mom and best friend) who sees you won't know that you've had a procedure.  Some minor peeling is normal.  However the amount of peeling is not nearly as much as you'd get from a strong chemical peel.  Also, the amount of redness (and peeling) decreases with each successive treatment.  For some people, a breakout of acne could be triggered too but it's minor.  Best of luck, Dr. Huo
