About the treatment

  • ◽️ Spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart

Concerns

What Picosure Addresses Best

Sun and age spots

Targets brown macules from past sun. Spots darken then flake as pigment clears. Series gives the most even result.

Melasma management

Gentle, low fluence passes reduce contrast while we protect your barrier. Expect a gradual fade. Daily SPF is essential.

Post acne marks

Breaks up lingering brown or red marks and boosts collagen for smoother looking texture over time.

Single spot precision

Small spot sessions focus on one lesion. Useful for a stubborn freckle that steals attention in photos.

Pico Laser Spot Treatment is designed to target a single localized area of unwanted pigmentation, such as a sun spot, age spot, freckle, or other isolated discoloration. Ultra-short picosecond laser pulses deliver powerful photo-acoustic energy that breaks pigment into tiny particles while minimizing heat exposure to the surrounding skin.

This focused treatment allows for precise correction of individual lesions without treating a larger area. As the body naturally clears the fragmented pigment, the spot gradually fades and the skin appears clearer and more evenly toned with minimal downtime.

While some lesions may respond after a single treatment, additional sessions may be recommended depending on the depth, color, and characteristics of the pigmentation. Package pricing is available for patients seeking treatment of multiple spots or ongoing pigment correction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tap on a question to see the answer

how to get rid of sun damage on face?

Sun damage on the face can be treated through lifestyle changes, skincare products, and medical treatments. However, laser therapy is known to be the most effective method to treat sun damage. Using concentrated light can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of sun damage, such as age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Can I reverse sun damage on my face?

Yes, it's entirely possible. However, devising the right treatment plan before a consultation is impossible. Instead, a skincare professional can examine your skin and discuss your best options after listening to your concerns.

what is a brown spot?

A brown spot is a discoloration or skin patch that appears brown or dark. Causes include sun damage, age spots, melasma, freckles, and moles. In addition, sun exposure and hormonal changes can trigger these spots. To determine the cause and rule out any medical issues, consult a doctor if you have a brown spot that concerns you.

what is melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by dark, patchy discoloration on the face, especially on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Melasma is more common in women, especially during pregnancy, and is often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and specific cosmetic products.

what is a port-wine spot?

A port-wine stain, or PWS, is a type of birthmark that appears flat, red-to-purple skin discolored. This is because overgrown blood vessels cause an accumulation of blood in the affected area, leading to visible discoloration. Unlike other birthmarks, PWSs are present at birth and do not go away. The stain's size, location, and severity determine the appropriate treatment. In addition, topical creams, laser therapy, and other medical procedures may help reduce its appearance. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a doctor or dermatologist.

what is cherry angioma?

A cherry angioma is a common type of benign (noncancerous) skin growth that appears as a small, bright red, dome-shaped bump on the skin. They are clusters of small blood vessels most often found on the trunk, arms, and legs. The exact cause of cherry angiomas is unknown, but they tend to occur more frequently with age and are more common in people with a family history of the condition.

How does Pico laser work on pigmentation?

Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break pigment into tiny particles without damaging surrounding tissue. These particles are then naturally cleared by your body, reducing dark spots, melasma, and sun damage safely.

Is Pico laser safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, Pico laser is considered safe for a wide range of skin tones, including darker complexions. At Skin Works Medical Spa, we customize settings to minimize risks like hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

Does Pico laser hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild stinging or snapping, similar to a rubber band. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort during treatment.

How many Pico laser sessions will I need?

It depends on your concern and skin condition. Most pigmentation and texture issues require 3 to 5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan.

Is there any downtime after Pico laser treatment?

Pico laser typically has minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling for 24 to 48 hours, but most people return to normal activities the same day.

What’s the difference between Pico laser and traditional lasers?

Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, Pico laser uses mechanical energy in ultra-short bursts. This reduces skin damage, lowers downtime, and makes it safer for all skin types.

Can Pico laser remove tattoos too?

Yes, Pico laser is also FDA-approved for tattoo removal. It breaks down ink particles so your body can flush them out naturally. However, tattoo removal usually requires more sessions than pigmentation treatment.

Can Pico laser treat acne scars?

Pico laser can improve the appearance of mild to moderate acne scars by stimulating collagen and remodeling skin texture. It is often recommended alongside other treatments for best results.

Are results from Pico laser permanent?

While Pico laser removes pigmentation and improves skin quality, new discoloration can appear over time due to sun exposure or hormonal changes. Maintenance treatments and sun protection help extend your results.

Who should not get Pico laser treatment?

Pico laser is not recommended for people who are pregnant, have active skin infections, or are on certain medications that increase light sensitivity. A consultation is required to determine eligibility.
