I recieved laser treatment two years ago on my face. They used a laser called Picosure to treat some acne scars that i had. Ever since the treatment my skin had never been the same. Its redenned now permanently aftet i recieved 5 sessions. It has a ruddy look about it. I want to try something to fix this but scared of going back for laser. Any thoughts? My skin is quite fair. After i had the laser treatment my face looked very very red.

Answer: Picosure and acne scars Does Picosure Focus work on acne scars? Yes, but IMO they are best used on early acne scars (less than 4 months old, mild scars, and in ETHNIC skin types). Why ethnic skin? It is because the wavelength targets melanin, in turn causing a cascade of events to remodel collagen. If you have lighter skin types, I would use fractional lasers and or microneedling RF insulation with PRP over Picosure. The key to scar removal or improvement, is to match the skin type, scar type and downtime. As for the redness, this can be treated with V Beam vascular lasers. The video link below will take you to a resource. I embedded all the videos in one page to help.
