“I felt I was stuck with blotchy face, and nothing worked! But thanks to a friend’s advice, I thought I would give the PICO Laser facial a try since I heard the results were amazing, and there would be no downtime. In spite of being told that I would need at least 3 sessions to start noticing improved skin clarity, I saw remarkable clearing of my skin just two weeks after my first treatment. I can not wait to have my second session next week. This is a remarkable laser and the skilled, gentle touch of Leslie Forrester RN made the entire experience painless. Leslie explained my post-procedure skin care and sun protection regimen in detail, which I am now using for an even better outcome. Thank you for your kindness and expertise!”
