Before & After
Picofy Laser
Sample imagery — individual results vary.
What to expect
Treatment typically takes 15–45 minutes depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience temporary redness or mild swelling that resolves within a few days. Pigmented lesions often darken before gradually fading. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the concern, skin type, and treatment goals. Skin continues to improve as collagen remodeling develops over the following weeks and months.
