Picosure is Amazing!

Hi have had 3 Picosure Focus laser treatments for hyperpigmentation and overall facial rejuvenation with Dr. Chen. She is very patient, caring and explains the procedure(s) thoroughly, from what to expect during the procedure to post-procedure care to possible complications (fortunately I had none). I have had 3 Picosure treatments over the past 4 months (one in Feb, one in March before the pandemic began and one in mid-June. I am extremely impressed with the results! The Picosure laser has brightened my face far better than RX strength Retin-A micro or doctor- administered acid peels ever did. I look like I've been airbrushed- no joke. I am 46 years old, Asian American with a medium complexion that tans easily. I've always had freckles, which I didn't mind until the last 4 years when I started experiencing hyperpigmentation. Some of my upper cheek freckles started to became more pronounced and started "connecting" with other freckles. In photos I noticed that it appeared as though I had three dirty
smudge marks on my upper cheeks. I also had some minor concerns with dull skin texture, the beginnings of fine wrinkles, and some dark post-acne spots in my t-zone. Picosure helped with all those concerns immediately, even after just one treatment. But most of all, Picosure lightened my freckles substantially reduced the three dark "smudge" mark areas. After the third treatment, I have almost no freckles and the smudge marks are extremely faint. You have to wear a lot of sunscreen to keep the freckles and dark spots from coming back, but boy is it worth it. Like I said, I look like I airbrushed my face and look probably 8+ younger after 3 treatments. I bought a series of 6 and can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve! The pain during the procedure is very tolerable- you want to be very generous in applying the numbing cream to your face. I recommend doing two passes. The Picosure laser feels like you are being snapped with a rubber band and your face will feel hot. You look quite sunburned for the first 48 hours but I felt okay to be seen and to put on makeup by Day 3.

Sounds great! Do you have any pics to show your results. I am going to try the PICO for brown sun spots on cheeks next week. Thankyou
