I am a mid 20s male who has acquired brown spots and freckles on the drivers side of my face. The spots are in my beard area, however I have not really developed anything more than a few hairs in this area yet (late bloomer). I have type 1 skin. I have had offices mention both IPL and Picosure Focus. Since I haven't grown a beard yet - would IPL impact the future growth of my beard? Also, with Picosure - how effective is it at treating brown spots? What is the downtime? Does it risk hair loss?
I got my eyebrows microbladed 5 years ago. Within the last year they have faded to this red. Its very noticeable because my skin is fair and pale. I reached out to the person who did them and she stated it must have been the ink she used at that time. Obviously now I feel stupid for ever doing this. I tried saline removal and after one session no progress was made at all. Ive heard a lot about the PicoSure laser being a good option... would this help? Its really killing my self esteem.
Hi, I had my eyebrows tattooed and was horrified by the result. So I had my first laser removal with ND YAG, unfortunately the ink turned red, after 4 weeks I found a PicoSure provider and went for a test spot, done at the tail. I discussed with the technician about using 532 nm, she used 3 different settings, but I see that the ink turned brighter red, I know that red is one of the most difficult colours to removed, but is it normal at the second session to get such reaction?
I had a Pico treatment for the first time on Friday. I woke up Saturday with red rashy bumps all over my cheeks. They burn and itch. Im using cold packs and aqua for for relief. Is this normal? What should I be doing to help clear it up?
Hi, I did one treatment on Picosure laser and turned out very red and looks burnt. I am so worry it will not be better to normal. I have seen many cases and never looked this burnt. I think they did it too strong. What can I do? Will all the red area back to normal? Will the freckles get darker ?
I'd like to get the PicoSure facial done first because of concerns about potential manipulation of fillers in my face. I've never done a laser facial before and read somewhere that my face will be red and slightly swollen for 24 hours. Is that true? If that's the case, would it be okay for me to schedule my PicoSure on a Tuesday and get my fillers and Botox done on a Thursday?
I had PicoSure done on my melasma underneath my eyes and it was awesome. Fast forward a month and a half, I did a second treatment of it. It left my skin darker, redder, and worse. FYI the same person did it both times. I visited another doctor to treat this, and Im about a week into a treatment of hydroquoine 8%. The PIH is still there, just slightly better. - Can any laser help my PIH/melasma now? Will my PIH ever fade? - Would you ask for your money back from the doctor who gave me PIH?
8 days ago i had my first Picosure treatment on face nose and cheeks for freckle removal. The area was red for a couple of hours and then went back to normal. I've not really noticed any difference to the freckles. I was told that it might take 3-5 treatments but i thought i would have at least seen some improvement by now. Is this normal? Why do i have to wait 3 weeks between treatments?
