What to Expect

PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment delivers energy to the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This results in minimal downtime and faster recovery. The number of treatments needed varies depending on individual factors and desired results. Providers generally recommend four to six treatments spaced around two to four weeks apart. During a consultation, your healthcare provider will determine the specific treatment plan that best suits your needs.

Recovery

Recovery from PicoSure laser treatment involves minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild redness and swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. It is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your healthcare provider, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure and using specific skincare products to aid healing.

Results

While some individuals see immediate effects after the first treatment, noticeable improvements typically occur over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated and skin rejuvenation occurs. Completing the recommended series of treatments yields optimal results, with patients enjoying smoother, more even-toned skin and a more youthful appearance.

Safety Profile

PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment is considered safe for most individuals. Mild side effects such as redness, swelling, and temporary pigment changes are uncommon but possible. It is crucial to consult with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetic practitioner to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type and condition.

Cost

The cost of PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment varies based on factors such as the number of sessions required and the treatment area’s size. Generally, it is more expensive than other non-invasive procedures due to its efficacy and versatility. Consult with your healthcare provider for detailed pricing and possible financing options.

The cost of PicoSure treatment for skin revitalization depends on the specific area being targeted, whether it is a small region or the entire face. Each session typically ranges from $500 to $900, with most individuals requiring 4-6 treatments to achieve the desired outcome.

Non Ablative Feature
Non ablative laser is an additional feature of this type of laser. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of the skin. It creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.
 
The timeline for seeing noticeable improvements with this treatment can vary from person to person. Generally, patients can expect the following:
 
Immediate Effects: Many individuals report an immediate improvement in skin tone and texture after the first treatment session. The skin may appear brighter and more radiant.
 
Progressive Results: Over several weeks, the skin continues to improve as the treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes cell turnover. This leads to smoother, more even-toned skin.
 
Optimal Results: Patients typically see the full benefits of this laser treatment after several sessions, spaced around four to six weeks apart. By the end of the recommended treatment plan, which usually consists of four to six sessions, patients can enjoy significant improvements in skin texture, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and a more youthful appearance.
 
It’s important to note that individual results may vary based on factors such as skin type, age, and your specific concerns. Consult a qualified dermatologist or skin care professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your unique needs.
 
Cost: $500-$3,500 per session, depending on treatment area and geography.
