How long does the Pico Toning procedure take? I am considering improving my blemishes and skin tone.

My skin tone looks dull overall, and I am becoming increasingly concerned about blemishes and light melasma, so I am looking into dermatological treatments. While searching through various reviews, I saw a lot of talk about Pico Toning. In the past, I hesitated because I was unnecessarily scared of laser treatments and thought they might be irritating, but I became interested in Pico Toning because there are many reviews saying it is relatively less burdensome.

What I'm curious about is the duration of the Pico Toning procedure. Since I need to get treatments while working, it would be difficult to fit it into my schedule if it takes too long. I'm wondering how long it usually takes, including the consultation. People who have actually had Pico Toning say that it can even be done during lunchtime or after work; is it really that quick?

I am also curious about how many Pico Toning sessions are needed to see results. I am hesitant because some people say their skin tone brightened after just one session, while others say consistent treatment is necessary. In particular, since my goal is to reduce blemishes and redness and improve my overall skin tone, I am wondering if Pico Toning would be a good fit for my skin type.

I would also like to know if I can resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure. I would be concerned if my skin became extremely red or if severe peeling occurred. I am also curious about when I can start applying makeup or washing my face. I have seen many reviews mentioning that the irritation was less than expected, so I would like to know if there is a significant difference depending on the individual.

Lastly, I am curious about the level of pain involved in Pico Toning. Is it just the typical stinging sensation of a laser, or is it painful enough to require the use of anesthetic cream? I would like to hear opinions from those who have received it. I am considering getting it regularly for skin care, so I would appreciate reviews from those with actual experience.
