Success Stories
These answers have been medically reviewed by our team.
Most clients see optimal results in 3 to 6 sessions, each spaced about 2 weeks apart to allow for proper healing. To keep symptoms under control, your provider may recommend maintenance treatments for melasma in Waterloo every 2 to 6 months.
No, the treatment should not be painful. Most clients tolerate PicoSure well. You may feel a light snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band flick, but the experience is generally not painful.
We typically recommend a brightening routine that includes 2% hydroquinone to calm melanocyte activity and help preserve results. Your provider will tailor a regimen to your skin’s needs.
It’s possible for melasma to return, but you can manage it long-term with the right care. Consistent sunscreen use and occasional maintenance treatments are key to minimizing recurrence.
Follow these post-care steps to support your skin’s recovery:
- Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours after treatment.
- Steer clear of hot water and direct heat for 48 hours.
- Wait 2 weeks before scheduling other facial treatments.
- Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching or scratching your skin.
- Use only provider-approved post-treatment skincare.
