I had yag laser done on my face and under my eyes at 36. It was the best thing I've done so far to keep me looking younger and natural. I am now turning 46. I want my neck, chest and arms to continue to stay more youthful looking. I'm fortunate, I do not have a lot of sagging or discoloration, yet. I want to start rebuilding collagen and tighten the skin in these area's. Would fraxel or yag be better? Or use of different lasers for each area? He suggested 3 picture treatments for each area?
Answer: PicoSure for Skin Rejuvenation PicoSure is quite literally "light years" ahead of other laser treatments. The latest in picosecond technology, the PicoSure delivers Fraxel-like results without the downtime and typically at a fraction of the cost. Also appreciated, the treatment is rather comfortable, and topical numbing is not required when using cryo cooling.

Answer: It Sounds Like You are on the Right Track Thanks for your question. Obviously the best way to answer your question is with an in office consultation. Our recommendation would depend on your chief concerns. We have been using the PicoSure FOCUS for almost 3 years and our patients are seeing excellent results correcting brown pigment and fine lines. If you were a Skin Type I-III and were concerned with broken blood vessels (vascular lesions) & brown pigmentation, we might recommend a IPL PhotoFacial instead. The PhotoFacial is great for color correction, but doesn't do anything for texture. If texture was your main concern and you aren't worried about pigmentation, we would ramp up to a 1540nm like Fraxel or ICON to do fractional resurfacing. Keep in mind that more intense/deeper treatments require more downtime, but you will need less treatments. If you choose a short downtime treatment plan, you will need more treatments in the series. The most gentle would be the PicoSure FOCUS treatment with almost no downtime. It is safe for all skin types, but you would probably need 3 to 6 treatments. Best of luck.
