Is PicoWay laser a good treatment for enlarged pores?

Question

I recently had two fraxel restore treatments and waited for three months and see zero improvment in my pores. My doctor has suggested switching to the Pico Way laser which is much more expensive. I am skeptical because the first treatments this doctor recommended were totally ineffective, and because from what I can see Pico Way is a pigmentation treatment first and foremost.

At our practice, I recommend Pico Way Resolve laser facial to refine large pores, reduce sun damage and increase collagen.  This laser is the newest technology in skin rejuvenation with the fastest pulse times uses hollographic fractional pixelated zones in soundwaves which causes minimal to no downtime.  These soundwaves are much safer than thermally heating the skin which most lasers use. Pico Way is the gold standard for tattoo removal of all colors on any skin type and condition.  Fraxel, or otherwise known as fractional technology comes in all depths and intensities.  We recommend the Sublative Fractional RF by Syneron-Candela for dramatic improvement with minimal downtime in acne scars, large pores, fine lines and sun damage.  Multiple treatments are necessary depending on the severity of the skin damage being treated.Hope this helps.  Good luck.
