There is no single Pico laser session number for every pigment concern. A defined spot may begin to change after a small number of treatments, while diffuse pigmentation, melasma and deeper pigment often require ongoing treatment and review. Diagnosis matters more than buying a course first. The interval must allow inflammation to settle and the previous response to become visible. Many plans are separated by several weeks, but timing changes with the tip, mode, energy, skin

A small amount of bleeding, clear fluid, redness, mild swelling or a grazed feeling can occur soon after CO₂ laser mole removal. These changes should gradually settle. Increasing pain, spreading redness, heat, marked swelling, yellow or green pus, wound opening or fever are reasons to seek medical advice. If you are unsure, do not wait for the wound to become severe. Send STC a clear photograph and describe how the symptoms have changed so we can advise whether the wound need

Braces or dental implants do not automatically rule out RF or HIFU. STC still needs to know because the location of metal, active dental symptoms and the facial area being treated can change the map and comfort during treatment. Implanted electronic devices such as a pacemaker or defibrillator are a more serious concern than orthodontic wire. They may make monopolar RF unsuitable or contraindicated under device instructions, so tell STC before booking [1]. Why braces and dent

CO₂ laser mole removal should not be something you simply have to endure. The doctor first assesses the size, height, depth and location of the lesion, then chooses suitable local anaesthesia. Most people describe short bursts of heat or a sharp sensation rather than continuous pain, although sensitivity varies. A tiny superficial spot and a deeper raised mole are not the same procedure. At STC, every case is performed by a doctor, and we check that the area is adequately num

The short answer is that Pico laser can be an option for dermal pigment such as nevus of Ota and Hori’s nevus, but they should not be treated with one fixed protocol. “Deep freckles” is a broad everyday term, not a single diagnosis, while nevus of Ota and Hori’s nevus differ in appearance, distribution and possible eye involvement [1][2][3]. At STC, we do not begin with “How many sessions will I need?” We first work out what the pigment is likely to be, whether it is superfic

Both RF and HIFU can be used in selected areas around the eyes, but they solve different problems. STC usually starts by assessing RF for thin, crepey skin and fine lines. HIFU is more selective, used when the goal is modest brow support or focal laxity with an appropriate cartridge and safe treatment map. Cheek depth and energy should never simply be copied around the eyes. The tissue is thinner, has less fat and lies close to the globe, orbit and nerves. Reducing the shot c
