Many of us are troubled by wrinkles, age spots, dark freckles, or skin texture issues. Over time, areas of hyperpigmentation can become increasingly frustrating, especially when combined with acne or trauma scars, age spots, loose skin, and fine lines. Dr. Leonard Miller and the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery now offer a cutting-edge solution for patients seeking to address hyperpigmentation and loose skin: the PicoSure™ laser in Boston. This safe and effective laser system targets dark spots, acne scars, benign pigmented lesions, and wrinkles, helping to restore smooth, even-toned skin. This fractional laser treatment utilizes short pulses of laser energy, making it capable of addressing various skin conditions, including tattoo removal.
Skin discoloration can result from various issues, including acne scars, hormonal changes, and pregnancy. Hyperpigmentation, age spots, and brown patches can cause distress and affect self-esteem. Similar to how PicoSure targets ink in the skin, the concentrated laser energy can also address dark spots, freckles, and scarring. PicoSure's short, high-powered pulses reach deep into tissues to target dark skin pigment meticulously. Many patients will note improvements after just one PicoSure treatment.

What are the risks of the PicoSure laser?
PicoSure is a cutting-edge fractional laser treatment that utilizes fast, concentrated pulses of light energy to target hyperpigmentation deep within the skin. The short bursts of energy break down dark spots deep within the tissues while encouraging collagen production for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
The best candidate for the PicoSure laser will be in overall good health, clearly understand the treatment process, and hold reasonable expectations for the final results; those with an active skin infection will be asked to postpone their treatment.
Unlike other laser treatments, the PicoSure is not considered painful. For optimal comfort, Dr. Miller and Dr. Doherty will apply a topical or local anesthetic before treatment.
The number of sessions required with the PicoSure laser will vary according to the individual patient, the level of correction, and if treating a tattoo, the color and depth of the ink used. On average, three to six treatment sessions, spaced six weeks apart, are required for optimal results. A private consultation appointment will be scheduled prior to treatment, establishing the approximate number of sessions that will be required.
The PicoSure laser is approved by the FDA as a safe method for removing dark spots, acne scars, and tattoo removal. When used by an experienced provider, the chance for side effects is minimal. However, there is always a slight chance of complications, including infection, scarring, or pigmentation changes.
