Revitalise Your Skin with PICO Toning: The Ultimate Solution for a Flawless Complexion

PICO Toning is a cutting-edge laser treatment transforming skincare routines worldwide. Utilising ultra-short laser pulses, PICO Toning is an advanced technique designed to enhance collagen production and disperse melanin clusters in the skin. This innovative approach not only smooths skin texture and boosts tone but also effectively diminishes the visibility of imperfections, promoting a more even and vibrant complexion.

Ideal for tackling stubborn skin issues, PICO Toning stands out as a highly effective remedy for Melasma - a challenging form of hyperpigmentation that often resists traditional treatment methods.

frequently asked
questions

Is PICO Toning with HandPICO Laser available at all Skin Renewal branches?
How does the handPICO Laser works?

The handPICO Laser operates through the generation of minute laser-induced optical breakdowns (LIOBs) within the skin. These LIOBs are localized plasma formations that occur when laser energy comes into contact with the skin's water molecules. The resulting shockwaves from the LIOBs not only shatter pigments but also promote collagen and elastin synthesis.

What can be expected after a PICO Laser Treatment?

During a handPICO Laser treatment, the laser handpiece will be moved over the skin in a sweeping motion. You may feel a mild tingling or snapping sensation as the laser pulses are delivered. The treatment is typically expeditious, and most areas can be treated in just a few minutes.

What is the after-care procedure for a PICO Laser Treatment?

After a HandPICO Laser treatment, it is important to keep the treated area clean and moisturised. You will also be advised to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks and use a good SPF.

I highly recommend Skin Renewal Parkhurst. I started my journey with so much uncertainty, and it is safe to say that I am now looking forward to the next stage of my treatments. The results have been amazing and noticeable. Precious is a GEM; she has carried me through the first six months of my skin journey.

I've just returned home from having a Pico Laser, an amazing morning. First, I saw Dr Dominique Myburgh, who went over my medical history and checked my skin. She suggested the best program for the removal of my pigmentation. My therapist was knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. The treatment was painless, and I had the most incredible neck and shoulder massage. Such an amazing team of people, from reception to preparation to doctor and therapist. I am a fan and will be continuing my aesthetic journey at Skin Renewal in Claremont. The the team... YOU ROCK

I went to Skin Renewal Willowbridge 5 months ago, seeking a holistic approach to helping with my hormonal and stress-induced acne and scarring. After my first consultation with the doctor, I received a detailed treatment plan. After 5 monthly treatments, I am very happy to see positive results as my breakouts have reduced to about 20%, and I see great improvements in my scarring and skin texture.I look forward to further treatments and know my skin will only get better with time. I am very grateful to my amazing therapist, Dasha, for her quality service. She knows exactly what my skin needs and would recommend her and skin renewal to anyone suffering from any skin condition.

I've been with Skin Renewal for quite some time now. I went to Stellenbosch because it's closest to me. I was amazed with their cleanliness and beautiful offices. The staff is super friendly and professional. I was thoroughly examined by Dr. Rulene and the best way forward was discussed. I first had very light peeling treatment and was put on a radiance cream. Follow-ups were regular, which I loved alot. I had I blood test done for best treatments. I was put on their Prepcream before I started treatment. I had a few needling treatments done by Celeste ,and saw results, the pigmentation became lighter, slow but steady progress. I continued with their Prepcream as it contains melanin suppressants. Then I went over to PICO Laser treatment. I fully trust Skin Renewal, because for them it's not about making money, but to give the best treatment that suits your skin type and problem.ive seen good results, thought, slow. I know that is what is best for my skin. I feel so much better about my skin. There is still a long road to go, but I trust Skin Renewal to do what is best. When I need advice I just chat on WhatsApp and they are more than willing to help and give advice. Thank you for great and friendly service always.
