    frequently asked
    questions

    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 tattoo ink and pigments but also promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

    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 moisturized. You will also be advised to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks and use a good SPF.

    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.
