Skin Resurfacing Treatments in Edmonton

To ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, we recommend following these steps before your appointment:

Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive skin analysis and consultation with one of our trained skincare professionals. We’ll assess your skin concerns, review your medical history, and determine if PicoSure® Pro is right for your goals.

Sun Protection: Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment. UV exposure can increase sensitivity and compromise results.

Pause Active Skincare: Discontinue use of retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliants at least 7 days prior to your appointment to prevent irritation and enhance treatment safety.

Stay Hydrated: Well-hydrated skin responds better to laser treatments. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session and ensure your skin is moisturized and healthy.

Here’s what you can anticipate during your PicoSure® Pro Skin Resurfacing session:

Efficient and Targeted Treatment: Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. The PicoSure® Pro laser delivers ultra-fast, targeted energy to the skin in short bursts that stimulate tissue remodeling from deep within.

Minimal Discomfort: The sensation is often described as a light snapping or warm tingling, and most clients find the treatment comfortable. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand for added ease.

Custom Treatment Plan: Your provider will adjust laser depth and energy settings to safely and effectively address your specific concerns, whether that’s sun damage, acne scarring, or age-related skin laxity.

No Downtime Required: Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers, PicoSure® Pro typically requires little to no downtime, making it ideal for clients with busy schedules who want effective results without extended recovery.

To promote healing and protect your investment in your skin, please follow these post-treatment instructions:

Soothe and Protect: Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers to calm the skin in the first 48–72 hours. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating until your provider advises.

Avoid Heat and Sweating: For the first 3–5 days, avoid hot showers, saunas, intense workouts, and anything that causes excessive sweating, as this may irritate the treated area.

Shield From the Sun: UV protection is critical. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, even if you’re staying indoors, and avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours.

Stay Hydrated: Support your skin’s healing process by drinking water regularly and using a high-quality moisturizer to maintain skin hydration.

Follow-Up if Recommended: Some clients benefit from multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart. Our specialists will provide a personalized plan for best results.
