What are the Benefits of the Picosure Aesthetic Laser?
Your skin is out there every day for the world to see. Are you proud of the skin you’re in? Or are you still piling on that full-coverage foundation and filtering the life out of your Insta pics? Don’t fret quite yet! Myrha Beauty in Ontario has a non-injectable, non-surgical, and non-invasive solution to your tired, embarrassing skin problems: The Picosure Laser!
How Does the Picosure Aesthetic Laser Work?
So, how does this magical laser work? Well, it’s not magic – but it’s as close as you can get. The Picosure Laser gets its name from the fact that it’s a “picosecond” laser, which basically means it’s super-fast. Intense photothermal pulses are delivered from the laser in order to rapidly clear any abnormal pigment on the skin. The laser disperses pigment in the targeted area, which then gets absorbed into the skin and eventually flushed out of the body.
Treatment with the Picosure laser creates tiny injuries that are elegant and minimal – just enough to stimulate the body’s natural healing process to eliminate flaws and pigment issues.
What is Picosure Laser Good For?
Now, this is the bottom-line question you’re probably looking for an answer to: What skin problems can the Picosure laser address? If you’ve been battling those skin flaws for years, there’s some good news. This laser treatment is incredibly effective at correcting a wide range of skin issues, including:
Fine lines
Acne scarring
Hyperpigmentation
Sun damage
Not only will the Picosure laser eliminate these unsightly skin maladies, but it will also improve the overall appearance of your skin. How, you ask? By boosting your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
The mild injury created on the surface of the skin doesn’t just switch your body into healing mode, it also stimulates the production of these vital substances in your skin, which leads to healthier, brighter, younger-looking skin overall.
Tattoo Removal at its Finest
Aside from the standard skin issues addressed by the Picosure laser, one of the most amazing things about this treatment is that it can be used to remove unwanted tattoos. Whether your tattoo is dated, damaged, or you just don’t like it anymore, this laser treatment can get it gone 40% faster than the Q Switch laser, which is the traditional route used for removing tats.
The reason Picosure works so much faster at the difficult task of tattoo removal comes down to the method. While this laser breaks down tattoo particles into sand-sized pieces, the other guys break them down into pebble-sized ones. This means the body can discard the smaller particles faster and more efficiently.
Skin Rejuvenation in a Snap
This is one of my favorite benefits of the Picosure laser: It’s so incredibly fast and convenient! Where other skin treatment lasers can take up to an hour, many sessions with the Picosure laser are completed in as little as 15 minutes.
Use it on the Face and Beyond
Discoloration, scars, and other skin flaws aren’t limited to the face, so the Picosure laser isn’t either. Many of my patients start with treatments on the face and, when they fall in love with the results, they come back for more treatment to target skin flaws on other areas of the body.
Picosure Laser FAQs
Is Picosure laser the best?
The short answer is: Yes. The Picosure laser is widely considered the best skin laser technology available. This title was earned by the treatment’s fast and powerful technology that’s not only effective but also safer and has fewer side effects than the traditional Q switch laser systems traditionally used in tattoo removal.
How often should you do Picosure laser?
Depending on the treatment area and the intensity of the skin issue, the number of Picosure treatments necessary could range between 3-4 sessions over 2-4 weeks. Addressing fine lines and acne scarring, for example, will take a shorter amount of time and fewer sessions to achieve the desired look. The removal of large, dark tattoos, however, could result in longer sessions that are more frequent.
How long does it take to see results from Picosure laser?
The skin-improving results of the Picosure laser are, unfortunately, not immediate. Results are dependent on your body’s natural healing abilities, but most patients start to see improvement in their skin a few weeks after treatment.
What can you not do after Pico laser?
Since your skin will be healing for a few weeks, it’s best to avoid:
Swimming
Sports with high contact
Sun exposure
Picking at or scratching the skin
You’ll also need to keep your skin from getting dehydrated, so be sure to moisturize frequently.
