Does PicoSure Focus work for skin tightening on the arms?

Question

Can Picosure laser focus be used to tighten skin on the arms and hands or is it only used for the face?

Laura Riehm, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  We've been using the PicoSure FOCUS for almost 3 years doing skin rejuvenation.  It works really well on pigment correction all over the body.  As a side benefit, it does do some resurfacing and tightening.  It probably wouldn't be our "go-to" device to tighten skin on the arms and hands unless there was a pigment issue as well.  Depending on your skin type and level of skin laxity, we might suggest several things like Pelleve (bulk RF heating), a series of Fractional 1540nm resurfacing or 1-2 Fractional Co2 treatments.  Best of luck.

No it will not work. It is excellent for overall skin rejuvenation in Ethnic skin due to melanin and the physics of the laser - 755 alex at pico. PD, but it will NOT tighten the skin on your arms. You may have to consider other therapies such as RF e.g.. Thermage. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
