How Picolazer Treatments Are Performed
At Valley Laser and Skin, Picolazer treatments begin with a consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. During the procedure, a handheld laser device is moved across the targeted area, emitting rapid, concentrated pulses of light. This laser energy breaks down the pigment in the skin, which the body then naturally clears away over time. Each session is short, typically taking under 30 minutes, and most clients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, clients may experience slight redness that fades within a few hours to a day, allowing you to resume your regular activities quickly.
