BOOK CONSULTATIONAt Yazdani Aesthetics, our PicoSure® laser utilizes the most advanced technology on the market for treating pigmentary conditions and overall skin revitalization. Our laser uses ultra-short pulses (one trillionth of a second in length). This effectively spares the skin from thermal damage while targeting the chromophore (the portion of a molecule responsible for colour) for greater results in fewer treatments.*
Our PicoSure® laser takes advantage of three different wavelengths, enabling it to optimally target melanin and treat a variety of pigmentary conditions. In addition, our laser technician can tailor the procedure by using variable spot sizes to personalize and perform your treatments with precision and accuracy.

About Our BroadBand Light Device
Our BroadBand Light (BBL) is the world’s most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) device on the market. Its broad range of wavelengths allow us to perform targeted treatments for a variety of skin conditions, including pigmentation concerns, with fewer treatments than other IPL systems.*
The light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The targeted areas will absorb this heat, stimulating new skin cells to regenerate. This process aims to restore skin to a more youthful state by promoting clearer, smoother and more vibrant tone.
*Individual results will vary.
Consultation
Our laser technician will take the time to assess your skin, understand your goals, explain all treatment options, and develop a plan to help you best attain the results you desire. Treatment length, number of treatments required, cost and appearance of progress will differ for each patient. We take before and after photos to help document the changes to your skin over time. These important steps of education and communication are critical to ensuring that you are comfortable with all steps of the process and are satisfied with the end result.
Laser Pigmentation Treatment Pre- and Post- Procedure Instructions
Before Your Treatment
- No sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanning cream for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Sun exposure decreases the effectiveness of laser treatment and can increase the chance of post-treatment complications.
