What Happens During Treatment
Your session will begin with a gentle cleansing of the treatment area and the application of protective eyewear to ensure comfort and safety. The PICOCARE laser is then used to deliver precise, ultra-short pulses of energy to break down pigmentation while minimizing heat exposure. Most patients describe the sensation as a light snapping or mild warmth. Treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the area being treated.
Recovery & Aftercare
After treatment, you may experience some redness, warmth, or a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Your provider will recommend a gentle skincare routine, including a mild cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and daily use of sunscreen to protect and support your skin as it heals. Most patients begin to see clearer, smoother skin within the first week, with continued improvements over time.
