PicoSure

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are pico toning and pico fractional the same treatment?

  Even though both use the same PicoSure device, their purposes and lenses differ. Unlike treatments that address pigmentation, pico fractional uses a focus lens to address pores, scars, and skin texture.

• Is everything that looks like a dark spot removed in the same way?

  Melasma, freckles, lentigines, and nevus of Ota are approached separately. We first check the type and depth of the lesion and then decide the handpiece and the area the laser is fired on, so we do not remove them in the same way based only on photos or color.

• Can melasma be removed with a laser?

  Melasma can be difficult to treat with lasers alone. At LOERE, we recommend skin-recovery care and prescription medication alongside laser treatment. The plan depends on the type of pigmentation and your skin's response.

• Can tattoos also be removed?

  Because PicoSure works by breaking pigment into small pieces, it is also used for tattoo removal. After checking the color and depth of the tattoo, we decide the area the laser is fired on and the number of sessions.

• Are there cases in which I cannot have the treatment?

  If you have recently tanned, are taking photosensitizing medication, or have a tendency to form keloids, please discuss this with us in advance. Treatment is restricted during pregnancy or if there is inflammation, a wound, or a skin condition in the treatment area.

• Will my skin turn red or form scabs after treatment?

  Temporary redness, warmth, and swelling may occur, and in most cases these improve within a few days. Scabs or temporary hyperpigmentation may occur. Other side effects may rarely occur; we explain them in detail during your consultation before treatment.
