What Can I Expect from PicoSure Treatments?

At your PicoSure appointment, your dermatology provider will first assess your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine the most effective treatment plan. The session will begin with cleansing the targeted area and applying a cooling gel to enhance comfort. The PicoSure treatment itself generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

As the laser is applied, you might feel a series of quick, mild pulses or snaps on the skin. Most patients find the procedure manageable and report only slight discomfort. Afterward, you may experience temporary redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. You will be given post-care instructions to help ensure optimal healing and results.
