Pico Laser Treatment NYC

PicoSure laser uses ultra-short “picosecond” pulses to target unwanted pigment. This laser has less thermal spread than traditional laser approaches. Dr. Geronemus uses PicoSure for pigment concerns, such as dark spots, tattoo removal, and skin revitalization.

Our team often recommends PicoSure for patients with visible pigmentation, uneven tone, select acne-scar changes, or who want an overall skin refresh. Its strength is precision, especially when a patient wants to break up pigment while also supporting smoother, clearer-looking skin over time.

PicoPlus also uses ultra-short “picosecond” energy to break up pigment and ink while limiting damage to surrounding tissue. Dr. Geronemus uses pico laser treatment in NYC with PicoPlus for tattoo removal. Often, he combines PicoSure and PicoPlus for a comprehensive approach.

With these pico lasers, Dr. Geronemus can create a customized treatment plan for each patient, meeting their unique needs.

Yes, pico laser treatment in NYC is often a strong option for pigmentation concerns, because picosecond energy can target unwanted discoloration with precision. These lasers limit excess heat in the surrounding tissue, protecting the untreated skin in the area.

This leading technology helps patients with dark spots, uneven tone, and other visible pigment concerns. Because pigment can sit at different depths and behave differently from one patient to another, Dr. Geronemus evaluates the skin carefully before choosing the right pico laser and treatment settings.

Recovery depends on the condition you want to address with pico laser treatment. In NYC, our physicians can also give more details about downtime and healing depending on your unique skin type, the severity of the pigment, and how your skin might react to treatment. Dr. Geronemus provides personalized post-care instructions for you to follow.

If you address a tattoo, the treated area may look white right after treatment, and you may also notice redness, swelling, blistering, scaling, or crusting.

For brown spots, freckles, age spots, and other pigmented lesions, the area may darken after treatment. Many patients notice a scaling, peppery-like appearance for the next 24 to 48 hours. These responses are normal.

Dr. Geronemus recommends keeping the area moist with Aquaphor ointment at least twice daily. For any questions or concerns regarding healing, contact our office.
