Can you tell me which is the best laser to use for pigmentation? Which one does the best clearance? And would peels be a better option for pigmentation?
Answer: Pico for Pigment Hi timetotransform,Thank you for your question. PicoSure is a great technology to address pigment and texture in the skin. The way it works is different than most lasers and results in a zero social down-time, meaning you can get right back to work or play. The laser works to mechanically disrupt the pigment, with very little heat. Although it was first designed to address the pigment in tattoos, the Focus Lens Array allows the machine to deliver a very specific treatment to the pigment, while avoiding damage to surrounding blood vessels or top layer of skin. This means less redness and a fast recovery. Hope that helps.Best,Dr. B

Answer: Picosure proved to be an outstanding solution for pigmentation when used with focus lens. Thank you for your question! Picosure proved to be an outstanding solution for pigmentation when used with focus lens. It stimulates collagen and elastin production. You will need more than one treatment; it all depends on your individual case. Chemical peels are not successful in treating pigmentation but they aid by improving overall skin appearance. I advise you to make an appointment with an expert to get examined and get professional opinion when it comes to your skin condition. Best of luck!

Answer: PicoSure for Hyperpigmentation We use the PicoSure Laser with the FOCUS lens array everyday treating pigment, fine lines and wrinkles. It is safe for all skin types. 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. Do not be concerned if your pigment goes away and then comes back within days to weeks; pigment is usually multiple layers deep and clears layer by layer. Chemical peels are usually not effective at eliminating hyperpigmentation. We recommend finding an experienced physician in your area. Treatment prices vary by market.
