Answer: Laser Resurfacing & Skin Tightening -- Fraxel, CO2 or Erbium with Microneedling/PRP, Sculptra, Ultherapy, Radiofrequency Fraxel and/or CO2 are best for resurfacing, but Erbium and Halo are good alternatives. I always combine lasers with microneedling/PRP for more robust outcomes. For skin tightening, I recommend a combination of Ultherapy with RF treatments and Sculptra for skin tightening. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: PicoSure Focus Skin Rejuvenation- the new Gold Standard PicoSure Focus is considered an amazing skin rejuvenation treatment and is gaining popularity steadily due to it's outstanding results in combination with minimal downtime. I call it a Rolls Royce of laser treatments. I also believe that it will slowly replace fractional laser resurfacing treatments in the next 5 years. It is the only laser that stimulates collagen and elastin production resulting in decrease of fine wrinkles and lines and has skin tightening effect. Not to mention the ability to remove pigmentation issues like sun spots, melasma and acne scars with virtually no downtime. Because the laser works deep under skin surface, there is no visible skin damage except for mild redness after the treatment which my patients cover up immediately after their treatment and return to their regular activities. The redness may stay from 20 min up to 24 hours. There is less peeling and skin slogging as well as the goal of the laser treatment is to rebuild strong skin texture rather than burning the top layer of the skin off. It's a very effective treatment for the right candidate and it requites a series of 4 treatments 4 weeks apart. Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani

Answer: The best laser for skin rejuvenation depends on a number of factors While PicoSure can be a good option for skin rejuvenation in the right candidate, an in-person consultation is necessary to properly evaluate your skin and come up with the best treatment plan for you. “Skin rejuvenation” is a vague term, and more information about your skin issues and desired goals is needed in order to determine which laser is right for you. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist with an array of different lasers (not just one which is applied to multiple conditions) for an evaluation and custom treatment plan. Good luck!

Answer: Picosure Skin Rejuvenation If you are looking for a skin rejuvenation treatment which is 1)State-of-the-art, 2)Nearly No Downtime 3)Short treatment then this laser could be ideal. We have been using this only a few months, but the patients really love the treatment a best of all they can come on their lunch break and get back to work without missing a beat. The laser has minimal downtime because it is 10% ablative (working on the top layer of the skin) and 90% focusing the collagen layers to commence the rejuvenation of those fibers which have changed over the years, leaving fine lines, loss of elasticity, and surface changes with pigmentary discoloration. At this point we have not seen any patients with unusual sensitivity, although we will perform test spots as needed for those with sensitive skin.
