Advice before and after Picosecond Laser

Transform the look and feel of your skin with minimal downtime. Pico lasers use state-of–the-art picosecond pulsed laser technology to address a wide variety of cosmetic skin issues. Originally developed for tattoos and benign pigment removal, picosecond lasers offer enormous versatility in their ability to improve the cosmetic appearance of aging and sun damaged skin. Picosecond laser tattoo removal machine technology combines the benefits of two highly effective wavelengths of light delivered in ultra-short picosecond pulses to create an intense, non-thermal, photomechanical disruption and remodeling of the upper dermis. With a wavelength of laser energy pulses that last for only a trillionth of a second, picosecond laser treatments leave skin clear and radiant without leaving significant redness or swelling. Picosecond lasers can be used for skin toning, skin resurfacing, and rejuvenation, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which increase the youthful appearance and suppleness of skin. CE certification picosecond laser machine treatments are ideal for clients wanting to improve skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation, reduce the size of skin pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of acne scars. This cuttingedge laser rejuvenates skin, and reduces the visible signs of aging without the risks and downtime often required with other skin treatments. Picosecond lasers can be used to treat all skin types, especially those clients with darker skin tones and complexions.

Unlike traditional lasers that utilize thermal heat energy to create controlled injuries within the skin to promote skin revitalization, the picosecond laser shatters excess pigment or melanin while stimulating the formation of new collagen and elastin within the dermis, creating a firming effect within the skin. The ultra-short pulse duration emitted by a picosecond laser, at one trillionth of a second, deliver energy so rapidly without heating or damaging the surrounding tissue, thereby reducing the risk for scarring and hyperpigmentation. The energy absorbed by pigment causes it to be oxidized. This creates mechanical stress causing pigment to fracture into tiny particles making it easier for your body's immune system to remove it, resulting in gradual fading. Treated skin becomes clearer with a more even skin tone. Results are both immediate and progressive. Your skin will feel softer and smoother, look brighter and have a more even skin tone. Skin will continue to improve over the next three to six months with the deeper layers of skin continuing to produce new collagen and elastin. The results can be long lasting depending on factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and skin care regimen.

What to expect during a Picosecond Laser treatment

Clients should arrive with a clean face free of make-up. Safety eye shields are applied over both eyes to protect the client's vision. The tip of the laser handpiece will touch your skin. As the laser energy is applied, you will feel a sensation that patients often compare to an “electric rain” sensation. Most patients do not find the treatment uncomfortable, but if you do, dermatologist can apply a topical numbing cream. Picosecond laser procedures take about twenty minutes to perform, depending on the size of the treatment area. Treatments are typically spaced two to four weeks apart.

Most patients experience mild redness and swelling immediately following the treatment. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within several hours. Clients can leave and resume their normal activities following treatment and can even apply make-up. Aside from some mild redness and flaking, there is little to no downtime required following treatment. Over the course of a few days, treated sunspots and freckles will become darker and shed as they heal, revealing a fresh, even tone complexion. Clients will be more sun-sensitive following treatment, and as a result, clients will need to be vigilant about applying sunscreen with an SPF 30+ and wear protective clothing to avoid new sun damage. Visible results are seen within 2 to 4 weeks following treatment. Melasma may require up to six weeks for the patient to see significant results. Results are long-lasting, provided you practice good sun-protection. These results will continue to improve as more collagen is produced in the skin. Results of skin-tightening will last for as long as collagen production remains high in the skin.
