I can visibly see smaller pores and lightening

ORIGINAL POST

Picoway

I've always had acne scars, huge pores all over and dark spots around my face. No OTC brightening cream was doing the trick so I decided to go to a cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Wu, and had him take a look at my face. He said that he specializes is Asian (darker skin) and recommended Picoway as a form of treatment for what I wanted as my end result. The process was not comfortable and there was downtime (8 days total of bright red spots all over my face), but the end result is amazing! Even with just one treatment of Picoway, I can visibly see smaller pores and lightening of my dark spots and acne cars.

That's average for a La Jolla dermatologist. I'm sure you can go somewhere cheaper, but I've researched Dr. Wu and he's gotten great reviews on treatments, especially on Asian skin types.

Did the doctor say how many sessions I total you need to get rid of all dark spots on the face?

My dark spots only needed one season. My face really took to the treatment. Along with using lytera 2.0 and retinol, I wont need to go back for additional treatments. I can say that my face looks 90 % better pre-treatment.

I was told that I need several sessions, which totals around $2k. I would love to have only one session for the same amount. BTW, is consultation free with the doctor.

Yes consultation is free. I think every doctor says you need at least 2 treatment, but everyone's skin problems and how receptive your skin is to treatment is different. I thought I'd need more than one session also, but so far so good on my end and I am 6 months out. Worth the money.
