We use the PicoSure Laser with the FOCUS lens array everyday treating pigment, fine lines and wrinkles. We warn our patients that their skin may be come blotchy and pigment may appear darker for the next 3-5 days, although in rare cases it may last up to 2 weeks. The PicoFOCUS gently delivers bursts of energy deep in the dermis without causing harm to the overlaying skin. The pulses work to break up pigment and stimulates new collagen and elastin production. Your body’s own healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and ramps up skin turnover. Some pigment will actually travel to the surface making it initially appear darker. We normally recommend a series of 4 treatments; 1 every 4 weeks.

Treatment pricesvary by market.
