Picosure for acne scarring, when should I start seeing results?

There is improvement in collagen
with Picosure after each session but it may not be noticeable on the surface
right away. There are other more aggressive treatments like fractional
resurfacing (the gold standard for scar treatments) that improve scars with
fewer treatments but have more downtime. And it’s my experience that
anyone with acne scars tends to still see them even if they are 50 % better, so
it’s always better to judge improvement from a photo to a photo.

PicoSure is the best surface treatment for acne scars thanks to trillionth-second pressure waves and a state-of-the-art laser. Collagen will start developing right after the treatment, but you won't see those results right away. You will start seeing results at one month and this will continue to improve for the ensuing six months for an overall significant improvement. I would like to suggest that you wait for six months to see your results. If you do not see significant improvement, then adding another four sessions will not be helpful.Acne scars are challenging to treat due to fibrous scar tissue which tethers the scars to deeper skin tissue. These have to be released and treatment done from under the skin. I accomplish this with a liquid facelift whereby scar tissue is released with a blunt needle, making it virtually painless. Next, I treat with a filler like Juvederm and PRP which helps to regenerate your own tissue. I also use the PrecisionTX laser to treat the scarring from under the skin.The best treatment is combination therapy.Best of luck and happy holidays, Dr. C.
