Treatment Journey

What to Expect During Your PicoSure Treatment

Your PicoSure treatment begins with an evaluation of the concern you want to address and the skin or tattoo area being treated. The provider reviews relevant medical history and discusses treatment expectations before selecting appropriate settings.

Consultation and Assessment

The treatment area is evaluated, and the provider identifies whether PicoSure is suitable for the specific concern.

Preparation

The skin is cleansed and prepared. Protective eyewear is used during laser treatment. Topical anesthetic may be considered when appropriate, although it is not routinely required for every PicoSure application.

Laser Treatment

The selected PicoSure handpiece delivers controlled picosecond pulses to the treatment area. Sensations vary by treatment, but patients may notice warmth, tingling, or brief snapping sensations.

Immediate Aftercare

Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling can occur depending on the treatment. Your provider will give specific post-treatment instructions, including guidance on skin care and sun protection.

Follow-Up and Treatment Planning

Some concerns require a series of treatments rather than one session. Follow-up timing and the total number of treatments depend on the indication, response, and treatment goal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When going to the G spa I did not know what to expect since I’ve never had any cosmetics done previously to my appointment. Other than the very welcoming atmosphere set by staff and the common spaces, the nurse I had was top tier at helping me set attainable goals with my skin care & concerns. I booked with Ashley G and I’m very excited to continue my journey at this location.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions About PicoSure

PicoSure is a picosecond laser platform used for selected pigmentary conditions, skin revitalization, acne scars, and tattoo removal. The appropriate application depends on the concern being treated and the laser settings selected.

PicoSure delivers very short laser pulses measured in picoseconds. The energy is directed toward selected targets such as pigment, producing a controlled photothermal or photomechanical effect that supports the intended treatment response.

Comfort varies by treatment area and indication. Some patients describe warmth, tingling, or brief snapping sensations. Topical anesthetic may be used when appropriate, and the need for comfort measures is discussed during the treatment plan.

The number of sessions varies by the concern being treated. For example, pigment may respond over a series of treatments, while tattoo removal generally requires multiple sessions. Your provider can recommend a schedule after evaluating the treatment area.

Downtime depends on the type of PicoSure treatment performed. The G Spa reports that skin revitalization and acne scar treatments may cause temporary redness or minor swelling, while many patients can return to regular activities after treatment. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided.

Yes. The G Spa offers PicoSure for dark spot and acne scar concerns. Treatment suitability depends on the type and cause of pigmentation or scarring, so an assessment is recommended before proceeding.
