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 works for acne scarring.  Its best if you spaced out your sessions with more time between sessions.  I've seen amazing results with acne scarring without the downtime of fractional laser.

PicoSure is an amazing treatment option for acne scars but it takes time to see results as it promotes healthy skin from deeper down the skin as opposed to "frying" the top layer of the skin off. It's would be helpful to see the picture of your acne scars to understand why you were given 8 sessions suggestion. It tells me me that your acne scars are severe and more than one treatment should be used in combination . I often combine PicoSure with 1540 Icon Fractional laser and micro needling with PRP for the best possible outcome. The treatments that I suggest depend on how fast my patient wan t toes the result, any downtime they are willing to take, their budget, etc. It's  team work that leads to successful treatments in combination with my skill and evaluation using the most advanced tools available on the market. Hope this helps. Best.Dr.Avaliani
