Book a Free ConsultationPico Laser at a Glance
Pico Laser is a pigment-focused treatment. Very short picosecond pulses target selected unwanted pigment so it can fade gradually after treatment. The plan depends on the type and depth of discoloration, current skin tone, recent sun exposure and whether the concern involves one spot or broader photodamage across several visible areas.

Directions From Palos VerdesOne Brown Spot and Broader Sun Damage Need Different Treatment Plans

| Face | Sun spots, uneven tone and post-acne discoloration | $500 |

| Face + Neck | Coordinated pigment treatment across both visible areas | $900 bundle |
| Décolleté | Sun damage and uneven pigmentation across the chest | $600 |
| Face + Neck + Décolleté | Broader treatment across three commonly sun-exposed areas | $1,400 bundle |

What We Check Before Recommending Pico Laser
- Whether the discoloration is a sun spot, freckle, post-acne mark, melasma pattern or another type of pigment
- Skin tone and history of post-inflammatory pigment change
- Recent sun exposure, tanning or self-tanner use
- The depth and distribution of the pigmentation
- Whether melasma is present and how conservatively it should be managed
- Whether Pico Laser, IPL, resurfacing or topical treatment is the more predictable option
A Face, Neck and Chest Bundle Does Not Mean One Setting Everywhere
Combined pricing makes it possible to address several visible areas in one broader plan, but it does not make those areas biologically identical. Skin thickness, pigment depth, cumulative sun exposure and sensitivity can differ across the face, neck and décolleté.
The provider can therefore adjust settings by zone rather than treating a bundle as though it were one uniform area.
Not Every Brown or Uneven Area Should Be Treated the Same Way
Sun spots, freckles, post-acne discoloration and melasma are different pigment patterns. A visible brown area should first be assessed to confirm that laser treatment is appropriate rather than automatically treating every discoloration with the same settings.
Melasma requires particular caution because inflammation, heat and sun exposure can contribute to recurrence or worsening. The provider may recommend a conservative laser plan, topical treatment, strict sun protection or another approach depending on the pattern.
When IPL or Erbium May Fit the Concern Better
Pico Laser is primarily a pigment-focused treatment. If redness and visible vessels are important parts of the concern, or if surface texture and deeper lines matter more than pigment alone, another technology may be a better fit.

Where is Pico Laser performed for Palos Verdes patients?
Pico Laser treatment for Palos Verdes patients is performed at Skin Works Medical Spa in Torrance at 2573 Pacific Coast Highway, Suite B.
What kind of laser is used?
Skin Works uses the Rohrer PicoLazer for this picosecond pigment treatment. The provider selects settings according to skin tone, pigment type, treatment area and recent sun exposure.
Can Pico Laser treat the face, neck and chest in one plan?
Yes. Skin Works offers individual-area and combined bundle pricing for the face, neck and décolleté. Treatment parameters can still be adjusted separately for each area.
Can Pico Laser treat sun spots and brown spots?
Selected sun spots, age spots, freckles and other brown pigment concerns can be treated after the provider confirms that the area is appropriate for laser treatment.
Can Pico Laser help post-acne discoloration?
Yes. Post-acne discoloration is one of the pigment concerns treated with Pico Laser when the provider determines that the pigment type and current skin condition are appropriate.
Can Pico Laser be used for melasma?
Selected melasma cases may be treated conservatively, but melasma can recur or worsen. The provider first determines whether laser, topical therapy or another strategy is more appropriate.
What happens to a brown spot after Pico Laser?
Treated pigment may temporarily darken before gradually flaking or fading. The visible response varies according to pigment depth, treatment settings and the area being treated.
Can I have Pico Laser if I recently tanned?
Recent tanning or significant sun exposure can affect treatment safety and settings. A provider may recommend waiting until the skin is in a better condition for pigment treatment.
How many Pico Laser sessions are usually needed?
Broader pigment concerns commonly use a series of approximately 3 to 5 sessions. A localized spot may require fewer treatments, while melasma is managed more conservatively according to response.
