About PicoSure Non-Ablative

Overview

PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment utilizes picosecond technology to target a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation irregularities, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Advantages

Unlike ablative laser treatments that remove the outer layers of skin, non-ablative lasers deliver energy to the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface, resulting in minimal downtime and faster recovery.

Pros
  • Effective results: PicoSure laser technology stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation, delivering impressive outcomes for various skin concerns.
  • Minimal downtime: Unlike ablative laser treatments, PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Versatility: PicoSure can address a wide range of skin concerns, making it a versatile option for individuals seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Cons
  • Multiple sessions: Depending on the severity of skin concerns, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results, which can require additional time and cost.
  • Side effects: While uncommon, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or temporary pigment changes following the treatment.
  • Cost: PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment is generally more expensive than other non-invasive procedures, reflecting its efficacy and versatility.
What to Expect
  • Consultation: Assess skin condition and discuss concerns.
  • Preparation: Cleanse skin and apply numbing cream if needed.
  • Laser procedure: Pass laser handpiece over target areas, creating microscopic treatment zones.
  • Sensations: Mild discomfort may occur but is generally well-tolerated.
  • Treatment duration: Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Post-treatment care: Apply soothing serum or moisturizer, follow specific instructions provided.
  • Recovery: Resume regular activities with possible temporary side effects like redness or swelling.
Recovery

Recovery and downtime following a Pico sure non ablative procedure are typically minimal. Most individuals are able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. It is common to experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or mild skin sensitivity, which usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.

Results

The number of PicoSure laser treatments needed and the frequency of sessions can vary depending on individual factors and desired results. To improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, providers generally recommend four to six treatments spaced around two to four weeks apart. However, every person’s skin is unique, and your healthcare provider will determine the specific treatment plan that best suits your needs during a consultation.

The timeline for seeing noticeable improvements varies from person to person. While some people see immediate effects after the first treatment, patients typically see progressive results over the course of several weeks as the procedure stimulates collagen production and skin rejuvenation occurs.

Completing the recommended series of treatments yields optimal results, with patients enjoying smoother, more even-toned skin and a more youthful appearance. Consult a qualified dermatologist or aesthetic practitioner to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Safety Profile

The Pico Laser is suitable for all skin tones and works by using short bursts of energy to correct skin defects. Unlike most lasers that use heat, the Pico Laser does not damage darker skin or cause pigmentation problems. By mimicking an injury, the laser prompts the body to heal itself and boosts collagen production, improving skin texture over time. This gentle laser also increases elastin levels, making it one of the most gentle options available. Overall, the Pico Laser is a safe and effective choice for skin rejuvenation.

Cost

The average cost for a session of PicoSure non-ablative laser treatment ranges from $900 to $1500. This pricing is dependent on the specific area being treated as well as the geographical location where the treatment is being administered.
