What should you know about picosure fractional laser?

Fractional treatment does not cover every millimetre of skin with the same exposure. A lens or delivery pattern places energy in microscopic treatment zones, while surrounding skin supports the healing process. The aim may be to improve the appearance of selected texture irregularities, acne-scar changes, or pigment concerns. Treatment intensity depends on the area, skin tone, concern, and previous procedures. Expect warmth during treatment and short-lived redness, swelling, dryness, or a sandpaper-like feel afterward.

During assessment, describe your goals and disclose active skin disease, recent sun exposure, a tendency to form raised scars, cold sores, medicines, and earlier laser treatments. Follow the clinic's preparation instructions and arrive with clean skin if requested. Afterward, use only recommended gentle products, avoid rubbing or peeling the surface, and protect it from sunlight. Healing time and the number of visits vary; improvement is gradual rather than an instant change.

Contact the clinic if pain increases, redness spreads, swelling becomes pronounced, or the treated skin develops pus, expanding blisters, or fever. Seek urgent help for facial swelling that affects breathing or severe eye pain or vision change.

Is a fractional Picosure approach appropriate for my specific scar or texture concern? What depth and energy will you use? Which signs show normal healing, and when should I arrange a review?
