What is PicoSure laser?
PicoSure laser is a type of laser that uses pulses of light that are one trillionth of a second (picosecond) in duration. This makes it one of the fastest lasers available, and it allows it to break down unwanted pigment and tissue with greater precision than other lasers.
PicoSure laser is good for a variety of treatments, including:
- Tattoo removal
- Removal of pigmented lesions, such as age spots and freckles
- Skin rejuvenation
How does PicoSure laser work?
PicoSure laser works by emitting pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the skin. When the pigment absorbs the light, it breaks down into tiny particles that are then cleared away by the body's natural waste disposal system.
The short pulse duration of PicoSure laser allows it to break down pigment more effectively than other lasers. This is because the short pulses create a shock wave that shatters the pigment into smaller particles. This makes it easier for the body to remove the pigment, and it also reduces the risk of side effects, such as scarring.
What are the benefits of PicoSure laser?
PicoSure laser offers a number of benefits over other laser treatments, including:
- Greater precision: The short pulse duration of PicoSure laser allows it to break down pigment more precisely, which reduces the risk of scarring.
- Faster treatment times: PicoSure laser can treat larger areas of skin in less time than other lasers.
- Fewer side effects: PicoSure laser is associated with fewer side effects than other lasers, such as scarring and hypopigmentation.
- More effective: PicoSure laser is more effective at removing unwanted pigment than other lasers.
It is important to talk to a qualified medical professional about the risks and benefits of PicoSure laser before you decide to have the procedure.
What is the recovery time for PicoSure laser treatment?
The recovery time for PicoSure laser treatment is usually short. Most people can return to work or their normal activities within a few days. However, you may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising for a few days after the procedure.
How long do the results of PicoSure laser treatment last?
The results of PicoSure laser treatment can last for several years. However, the results will gradually fade over time, and you may need to have touch-up treatments.
Is PicoSure laser right for me?
PicoSure laser may be a good option for you if you are looking for a safe and effective way to remove unwanted pigment from your skin. It is important to talk to a qualified medical professional about the risks and benefits of PicoSure laser before you decide to have the procedure.
