The body naturally eliminates the melanin that was released during a treatment. The result is beautiful skin with a more even tone and color. Most treatments require a series of treatments (about 3-4) with a 6-8 week interval between treatments.

Dr. Small and his staff are truly amazing!! They are extremely helpful and willing to take the time to sit down and speak with you. You feel comfortable speaking with them and asking them questions. I will go back to Dr. Small for any other procedure that I ever need done again and would recommend him in a heart beat. His work is also amazing too.

What Are PicoWay Laser Treatments?

PicoWay® is a revolutionary picosecond laser that delivers laser light in a picosecond or one trillionth of a second. What this means for the beauty of your skin is a faster, more effective, and safer treatment.

PicoWay® works by giving you a fractional treatment but in a completely new and incredible way. The PicoWay® ultrafast picolaser light beam is holographically fractionated (separated) to rejuvenate your skin. We call this treatment PicoResolve®.

This treatment can be individualized to treat brown blemishes at different levels in your skin. Some are at the top of the skin, like sun spots and freckles, while others, such as melasma and post-inflammatory darkening, are in the second layer. The result is the melanocytes that cause brown blemishes are fragmented instantly.

What Are the Benefits of Brown Spot Removal With PicoResolve®?

When performed with precision and care by our experienced providers at Ocean Plastic Surgery, laser brown spot removal in Ocean County, Toms River, & Stafford Township comes with the following benefits:

Who Makes a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for treatment with the PicoResolve laser are frustrated by the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. They may suffer from brown spots, freckles, age spots, and sun damage and have skin affected by genetics, aging, and environmental factors. As with all aesthetic procedures, it is important that you are healthy and have realistic expectations for your results, as it may take more than one session to achieve your ideal look. Dr. Small will meet with you for a private consultation to determine whether laser brown spot removal is the best approach for meeting your goals.

What Does the Treatment Process Entail?

Most patients report that laser brown spot removal is a comfortable and stress-free experience. Sessions typically last from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of spots addressed and their location. Prior to your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort and peace of mind.

During your session, the laser device is passed across the skin, which may create a slight sting similar to a rubber band snapped against the skin. Most patients are not bothered by this feeling, however. The laser also has a built-in cooling mechanism to help minimize discomfort.

Aftercare With the PicoResolve® Laser

Recovery time after brown spot removal is minimal, and most patients are able to return to their normal schedules right away after their sessions. While it is common to see redness and swelling in the skin after your appointment, rest assured, these side effects fade quickly. After your PicoResolve session, you are advised to do the following:

Use a gentle moisturizer
Avoid using harsh chemicals, exfoliants, or retinoids until the treatment zone is completely healed
Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen daily
Follow all of Dr. Small's post-treatment instructions for best results
