00:00It's been two weeks since my PicoSure Pro laser treatment and I'm finally noticing a difference
00:05in my skin. This particular sunspot has gotten a lot lighter. Like it's definitely faded. As an
00:12Asian woman, I've always been really nervous about laser treatments because I hear that it can
00:17actually increase hyperpigmentation. So I've really avoided lasers but I heard really really
00:23great things about PicoSure. I hear that it's sensitive for all skin types including those
00:28with melanin-rich skin. First is numbing the entire face and neck for about 25 to 30 minutes.
00:34We use alcohol and hypochlorous acid to cleanse off the face and neck. Now we're placing gauze
00:39on top of Sarah's closed eyes underneath the goggles to ensure her eye safety. I'm going
00:44to start with Sarah's first laser pass over the entire face. I like to start off towards
00:49the cheek zone and work my way up to the more sensitive areas closer to around the top of
00:54the cheek and the forehead zone. I'm going to do two more passes in the same zones on Sarah's face
00:59before I move on to her neck. Because the Pico pulses are so fast and shattering the hyperpigmentation
01:05from within the skin, the hyperpigmentation is actually leaving you through your lymphatic
01:10system. So it's an internal cleansing of that hyperpigmentation so there's almost no downtime.
01:15As we move down to the neck, it's an easier pattern so it goes by a little bit more quickly
01:20but I'm also going to do three passes in the neck zone as well. After the treatment,
01:25I provide a cooling mask for Sarah. I'm going to give her post-care instructions since she'll
01:29be on her way. Okay, so you did fantastic! How are you feeling? Thank you! That was so easy!
01:33And we did three passes all over the entire face and also the neck. Okay. Where we heard
01:38a lot of that clacking happened to be a little bit more so on the left side of your chin.
01:43Yeah. For this laser, where that kind of sparking, almost what it sounds like, is indicating to
01:49us that there's more sun damage there. So you'll start seeing a difference in your skin over the
01:53next five to eight days. Okay. But actually you'll start seeing a major difference in the skin starting
01:58week two and three. Okay. And that happens all the way up to week four. Okay. And then I'll see
02:03you
02:03again for your next treatment around week four to six. Okay. Okay. Got it.
