The Pico Enlighten Laser’s unique capabilities make it a standout choice for several treatment areas. It delivers ultra-fast, high-power energy to effectively shatter tattoo pigments into minuscule particles, making them easier for the body to eliminate.
At our practice, the Pico Enlighten Laser is used for multiple cosmetic and dermatological procedures. We have seen excellent results in tattoo removal, particularly with stubborn black and blue inks. The laser is equally effective for skin rejuvenation, helping to target pigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars to improve skin texture and radiance. It is also used to treat age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma, restoring an even skin tone.
The Victoria Cosmetic Surgery Center Advantage
Choosing the Pico Enlighten Laser at Victoria Cosmetic Surgery Center offers several advantages over conventional nanosecond lasers. Its high speed and precision lead to shorter treatment sessions and less thermal damage, resulting in faster healing and minimized downtime. The ultrashort pulse duration allows for accurate targeting of treatment areas, reducing damage to surrounding skin and improving overall results.
We value your safety and satisfaction. The Pico Enlighten Laser is FDA-approved and has been extensively used in both cosmetic and dermatological procedures. When used by our trained professionals, it is both safe and effective, providing outstanding results tailored to your aesthetic needs.
The Pico Enlighten Laser operates on principles of laser light and sound waves, specifically targeting the pigments in the skin. The laser light is delivered in rapid picosecond pulses, faster than traditional lasers. This speed allows for the more effective breakdown of tattoo pigments into tiny particles.
What sets the Pico Enlighten Laser apart is its capacity to emit varying wavelengths of light to target different tattoo ink colors. Black and dark blue inks, which absorb all laser wavelengths, are easier to remove. On the other hand, lighter colors like yellow and green selectively absorb laser light, making them more challenging to remove without the correct wavelength.
Moreover, the Pico Enlighten Laser incorporates a technology known as “PhotoAcoustic.” This technology uses sound waves to further break down pigment particles. The pigment particles absorb the laser energy, heat up quickly, and are then easier for the body’s immune system to clear.
In essence, the Pico Enlighten Laser is a revolutionary tool that combines laser light and sound waves to effectively break down and eliminate tattoo pigments and rejuvenate the skin. Its precision control over pulse duration and energy levels allows for personalized treatments based on each individual’s needs and skin type.
One of its primary uses is for tattoo removal. The Pico Enlighten Laser can remove tattoos of all colors, including stubborn ones that have not responded to other removal methods. Moreover, the Pico Enlighten Laser is an excellent solution for treating pigmentation concerns. If you’re dealing with sun spots, age spots, or melasma, this laser can diminish their appearance and create a more even complexion.
This technology is also effective at treating various vascular conditions such as rosacea, spider veins, broken capillaries, and birthmarks. By reducing the appearance of these skin irregularities, the Pico Enlighten Laser provides a more even and consistent complexion.
We also use the Pico Enlighten Laser for skin rejuvenation treatments. It can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, and skin discoloration. It also improves skin texture and promotes a youthful appearance.
For patients with acne and related scarring, the Pico Enlighten Laser can be a game-changer. It can treat active acne, acne scars, surgical scars, and burn scars, reducing their visibility and smoothing the skin surface.
Additionally, we use this laser system to treat warts, moles, and enlarged oil glands under other conditions. It’s also suitable for general skin toning, enhancing the skin’s overall appearance, and giving it a fresher, more radiant look.
For example, in the case of tattoo removal, you may start to see noticeable lightening after just two to three sessions, usually scheduled six weeks apart. However, a full removal may require six to eight sessions.
Utilizing the Pico Enlighten Laser for skin rejuvenation purposes, like reducing pigmentation, enhancing skin texture, or treating acne scars, may show improvements after a single session. Yet, to achieve the best possible results, a series of treatments might be necessary. It’s crucial to understand that the full effect of the treatment is usually seen two to three months after the final session. This period allows the skin enough time to heal and regenerate.
Estimated Timelines:
Pigmentation: You may notice improvements within a few weeks, with further enhancement over several months.
Wrinkles: Visible improvements in skin texture and fine lines may appear within 4-6 weeks and continue to progress over time.
Acne Scars: Scar reduction is a gradual process that may necessitate multiple treatments. You may notice progress within a few months, with continued improvement in the following months.
Factors Influencing Results:
Individual Skin Response: Your skin type, age, and overall health can influence the effectiveness of the treatment and recovery time.
Treatment Protocol: The number of treatments, the settings used during treatment, and your care post-treatment can impact the speed at which you see results.
Condition Severity: If your skin concern is more severe, it may require additional treatments and a longer time frame for improvement.
We are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients and ensuring their satisfaction with our treatments. We always recommend having a thorough discussion with our dermatologist to understand the timeline for your specific skin condition and treatment plan. The Pico Enlighten Laser treatments have proven to be effective for many, but it’s vital to set realistic expectations as results can vary.
