PICOSURE FOR FINE WRINKLES / SKIN REJUVENATION
PicoSure Focus Lens Array for Skin Texture Improvement and Fine Wrinkle Treatment
With the PicoSure focus lens feature, the laser can effectively improve the tone and texture of your skin. If you are experiencing fine lines, the PicoSure laser uses gentle heat to activate the body’s natural immune response and stimulate collagen production in the dermis. This collagen production can continue for up to a year after the procedure, so the results are not immediate. We recommend 5 to 6 PicoSure skin treatments spaced every two weeks. The laser skin treatment is non-invasive, so there is no downtime. The procedure is very fair treatment, and no numbing cream is required. After the procedure, patients will notice some redness for a few hours.
PicoSure is the only picosecond laser able to safely and effectively treat pigmented lesions, acne scars, and wrinkles with virtually no downtime. PicoSure is different than other fractional and ablative lasers, which creates considerable discomfort. The heat produced by the laser releases specific proteins that cause cells to stimulate collagen and elastin. PicoSure breaks down dark pigment into tiny particles that the body’s immune system removes.
The Elite iQ laser can also stimulate collagen production in the dermis. Because of its dual-wavelength platform, the Elite iQ can effectively treat a variety of common cosmetic concerns, no matter your skin type.
How long does the PicoSure laser treatment take?
The treatment should take only 15-30 minutes for laser skin rejuvenation treatment.
What should I avoid post-treatment?
It would be best if you avoid direct sunlight. You should wear broad-spectrum sunscreen if you are out in the sun.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
We recommend 5 to 6 sessions to see results. Results are not immediate, as collagen and elastin production takes time.
How long do the results last?
Once collagen and elastin production kicks in, results can last 1 to 2 years. We recommend a maintenance treatment every six months to slow the appearance of wrinkles.
Is there any risk of scarring?
The PicoSure is a non-ablative laser, creating a very safe procedure, and scarring is very rare, especially for skin rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime for this laser skin treatment?
Post-treatment, you will notice some redness on your skin for a few days, but besides this, there is no downtime like fractional and ablative lasers.
