Hi everyone,

I had Picosure laser about 3 weeks ago and ever since my skin has been so red and patchy, and I now have large visible pores all over my face which I didnt have before. Seems similar to the orange peel texture people talk about. Im so anxious about this and not knowing if Ill permanently have worse skin now. Any advice would be so appreciated!

It's possible the laser hyperpigmented spots/pores, particularly if it's scar tissue there. The overall redness and white patchiness is visible in a radius, but the pores are not very pronounced, because they are tiny. I know what you mean by the dots but most people have small dotted texture here or there, so it looks alr

Hyper/Hypopigmentation (red/white areas) could take months to fade. To me it looks like that to be honest, and not orange pee, and the redness just making it more pronounced. With luck the colors will normalize but hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation takes time in general.

Did the surgeon add any opinion?
