Dr you are my only hope in saving my acne scars and hyperpigmentation..one day I'll have enough money to come to you...Im still a student but once I started working the first paycheck I'll save it for my visit to you 🤣
I LOVE picoway laser. My dermatologist used it on me and it almost completely erased my big brown birthmark from my cheek!!! 😭 the skin there now looks just like the rest of my face 🙂
@@manonpark7576 hi! My dermatologist recommended 10 sessions. So far I’ve done 8 sessions and at first, it was gone! But I think I have to go back for the last two sessions because I see the birthmark coming back just a bit. (I’m exposed to sun a lot and the first thing they tell you is to avoid sun exposure on the area) so I think it’s my fault. But it’s so faint it’s barely noticeable (just to me lol)
@@HS-hi6wc I’m type III so light brown skin & yes I would have discoloration after my sessions (my birthmark would get a lot darker than normal) but it when away after a few days/weeks (my derm told me it was normal) but now that I’m close to being done I don’t get PIH or discoloration at all
I can’t agree Davin on Fraxel for Type 3-4 skins. We have been doing this since 2007 when Fraxel was first released in Australia and many treatments later on darker skin types I have only seen PIH in 2 cases and this was very transient. Fraxel has also been significantly more effective than nano-laser (Q-switched Nd:YAG) for melasma.
Gr8 video. I had a consultation recently and the practitioner explained that I would have only minor improvement in my skin discoloration issues (I'm of European descent and very fair). Thanks for confirming...
I had been done Pico laser about 1 year for Hyperpigmentation on my face after done my session about 6 months my face is have a white skin (like small ball ) around my cheek and im still hyperpigmantation.
What is the difference between a pico and a nano laser? Pico= darker skin types for pigmented lesions not due to melasma Nano: melasma Q switch: melasma Fractional: skin resurfacing (in lighter skin types)
Hylotropic scars after surgery. What methods are the best to use? And what can you use to protect the surrounding area if your lasering down a hylotropic scar so other areas dont get hyperpigmentation?
Can you make a video on the reasons someone might want to see board certified laser dermatologist for tattoo removal instead of a specialty clinic that has picolasers
I'm African American with type 5 Fitz have stubborn melasma and texture skin with old acne scars. I've tried aerolase, VI peel with no success. What would you consider a good treatment course for me please. Been dealing with this for over 10 years
My dermatologist treated melasma on my face with "piqo laser" so agressive and demaged my skin. I was look like burnt chicken. I went to another doctor and she could not belive what doctor did to me. One year later I have dermatitis and scars yet. And that "piqo" treatment did not remove melasma. (Before this treatment I never had dermatitis and scars). I can not on the sun because it burns me. I always use screencreen SPF 50 and another doctor treated my face with PRP-injective treatment. Before I had normal skin. Now I have demaged, sensitive, very dry skin. It destroy my skin tone also. Dermatologist never returned me money for the worst treatament in my life! My skin barrier is demaged, so that mean I have bigger chance for skin cancer. And for hiperpigmetation. All my face look different now and all that pain affected me mentally. Treataments and creams cost me a lot after this piqo treat😮ment. Btw, PRP-injective treatment is much better for skin than lasers.
Dr. Lim, what is the best laser for sensitive textured skin from scarring and pores? I don’t heal well from harsh procedures so looking for something besides co2 fraxel type of lasers. Thank you!
You are so helpful I love watching your videos! I suffer from acne scaring I believe they are atrophic scars for 10+ years. What will be other options to treat it since pico lasers wouldn't do much for scars over 5 months old. I wish to be able to be treated by you one day all my skin issues would be cured your magnificent
Thank you doc I’ve been learning so much from your videos and IG posts 🙏 can you please explain about pro yellow laser? Is it effective for sensitive skin with big pores for people with ethnic skin? Or any other laser that suits my condition?
Hey Dr Lim. I just had my first Halo tx. Did you recommend removing the little scabs as they form or not? I recall you recommending using a cream and a light scrub glove for such….what is the rational behind it? Kindly provide us with the science? The thoughts where i live at]re to never touch it and wait🤨 I d like to make an i formed decision and i have to say, i do trust you.
Your explanation and examples are very easy to understand. Thank you. I have the same skin type as you , am I limited to only pico laser for skin rejuvenation and deep scaring? Is Nano laser and safe for ethnic skin?
Discovery Pico was great on my pale skin for huge pores and provided great skin rejuvenation. Friends said that my skin looked 80% better after 2 treatments. ( even huge difference after 1 treatment) I agree the results are amazing! So I will for sure do few more sessions.Would you say the results are permanent? Before I tried Fractora with Fraxel laser so no difference at all after 1 treatment... I could have done 6 pico for the same price....For sure doctor and the settings play a huge role as well
I try picolaser for 1yr and 3months for melasma but stop it as my last session my face become more darker and now they give me hydroquinone 4% as a substitute of pico....as I told them I dont want laser anymore...much stressful as of now tsskk
You are awesome, I wish I could get my treatment from you, I had co2 laser 5 years ago and now I have PIH. I have ethnic skin type, I live in turkey and a doctor here suggested me to use monobenzone which is the reason I'm reaching your channel, doc please tell me is it safe to use monobenzone or benoquine
Thank you for all your information!! I am going to get Picosure laser but I got Icon fractional laser three days ago. Is okay to get it after two weeks?
If there is burn scar on face due to hot water, what are the treatment for that??? Is pico laser is used for burn scar also, it is a humble request to please tell me??? Is pico laser is useful for hypopigmentation due to burn scar on face
Hi Dr, would any of your laser work on facial Acanthosis nigricans(suspected)? Foreheas, temples, and upper cheeks? I have a darker skin type prone to hyperpigmentation. I have tried microneedling, and now looking into Pico laser or Opus plasma. What are your thoughts?
I invariably get post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after using picoway for freckles in type 3 skin , 3mm , 532 nm and 0.8 j per sq cm. The clinic does not have a 730 or 785 handpiece. Could you please advice what I can do to avoid this? And also this pih is very tough to treat with chemical peels and hydroquinone
Hello Doctor, I’ve been having a challenge finding a video explaining the best laser type to treat drug-induced dyspigmation, specifically minocycline. Can you advise?
Hello doctor. Can I wash my face with panoxyl before the treatment ? I have booked a session with my practitian. If everything is ok I will be able to do the laser the same day, so I wanted to anticipate
Doc can you let me know which laser is best for Pigmentation Demarcation lines starting from under the eyes going downward towards sides of the forehead
I’ve been getting Picoway laser more than 12 times over 2 years on my abdomen. The results is amazingly wonderful!!. Now I considered getting Tetra CoolPeel CO2 laser. Would you say CoolPeel co2 laser works better for stretch marks? Thank you so much 🙏🏽 ☺️ (I am asian brown skin for me picoway works great on the wrinkles)
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. but may you tell me more what scar was on you abdomen that was treated by picolazer? it is also stretch marks?
Oh wow!! Please tell me which laser to rid me of brown spots ?? I am blonde blu eyed ,with whit skin. Help . So confused. I was going to do pick , now since Ewing this forget it. I need something that works. Thank you!!
Dr. Lim thank you so much for this video. question please. Would pico help hyperpigmentation due to thigh lift surgical scar i'm a fitzpatrick 4 and 3 year old scars
I got divot scars from chemical burns. They are veryy light and hard to detect. They are tiny box shaped. 1 month old and still healing. What can i do for treatment?
When a pico laser is used for hyperpigmentation, specifically around the mouth due to genetics being Indian, how long do results last? Are results temporary or more long term/permanent?
I’m getting pico laser tattoo removal for a blackout tattoo that the “artist” fucked up. I’ve got a lot of scars that look like self harm scars because of it. In fact almost the entire thing is a scarred. Is it possible that while my tattoo is being removed that the scar tissue will also improve? I’m worried what my scars will look like when there’s no ink there. I don’t mind the odd scar I have them all over my body, but this thing is messed up. They are raised and get more raised when I’m extremely hot or cold, scratch them etc. I’m going to need about 10 sessions for it to be removed
Would the Q Switch deliver the same result for skin type 3-4, if cost was a consideration? Would you need more sessions with Q switch compared to Pico?
I have had 9 laser treatments and I have not seen any less. The laser is pico 450. Is it possible to change the birth mark on my face? Which laser is better? Nd-yag or pico 450?

There is absolutely NO reason a laser should cost this much.

Pico= darker skin types for pigmented lesions not due to melasma
Nano: melasma
Q switch: melasma
Fractional: skin resurfacing (in lighter skin types)
Thank you so much for the video! Can you also discuss the Quadrostar Pro Yellow laser for melasma and rosacea?
