People can now achieve a youthful and pigment-free skin without the need of undergoing surgery. Because the answer to their longing desire is the Picosure Laser.
Picosure is a picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy in picoseconds or trillionths of a second to the skin. The pigment on the skin is shattered by the laser into tiny dust-like particles, which the body’s lymphatic system absorbs and eliminates them naturally.
Picosure Laser uses Pressure Wave technology to produce a unique wavelength of light and a specialized lens that converts laser energy into gentle pressure. The pressure works to squeeze cells, activating the natural cell signaling process that creates new collagen and elastin.
This results in a brighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin with minimal downtime, unlike other similar lasers. Pressure Wave technology is also used for treating pigmentation and acne scars. It is also used for removal of ink particles from a tattoo on the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Before the Picosure treatment, the surgeon will apply numbing cream to the area that requires treatment. The product will last to stay there up to 20 minutes before the treatment starts.
The treatment will commonly take about 10 minutes for average sized tattoo and skin revitalization. However, procedure time usually depends on the skin condition and which area is being treated.
For tattoo removal, you will be recommended to undergo 4-10 treatments. While 2-5 treatments are common to complete for skin revitalization. Therefore, the surgeon may prescribe multiple sessions with the same treatment depending on the patient’s preference.
After the Picosure treatment, the skin may become flushed for a few hours. The patient may resume doing the normal activities after the treatment but it is advisable for them not to prolong themselves staying outdoors because of sun exposure. When going out under the sun, it is recommended for them to use sunblock daily in the treated area.
For those who undergo tattoo removal, post-treatment swelling may occur at some time but it will disappear the next days. Applying sunblock on the treated area is advised to prevent new pigmentation from growing.
In addition, Picosure is not only versatile to what it can do to a person’s skin but it is also considered the most preferred treatment compared to other lasers or devices. This treatment has less complications of burning, scarring, and pigmentary issues that is safe for everyone’s skin.
In fact, because of the rising of the many technologies that aim to deliver painless treatment, Picosure laser has reached higher satisfaction rates compared to other devices in the market according to the statistics.
