High concentration of melanin creates pigmented spots on the skin, which we call “Age Spots.”
Age spots are caused by overactive pigment cells. Ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up the production of melanin, a natural pigment that gives skin its color. This high concentration of melanin creates pigmented spots on the skin, which we call “Age Spots.”
PicoSure is the first picosecond laser technology, which delivers ultra short bursts of energy measured in one trillionths of a second to shatter the pigment into small particles that are absorbed and discarded by our immune system.
The PicoSure Laser is a unique treatment option for melasma because it does not produce heat so it doesn’t “burn” the pigment, it shatters it. Without heat, there is no risk of causing inflammation in the skin and therefore much less risk for triggering melasma.
A secondary benefit of the PicoSure Laser’s unique picosecond pulse is “cell-signaling” that produces significant rejuvenation of the treatment area resulting in tighter, brighter skin with an improvement in texture and tone. All that with absolutely NO downtime. PicoSure Laser is also a great treatment for a person with darker skin types.
The procedure is fast, straightforward and only causes a bit of minor discomfort. The sensation of these lasers removing the unwanted pigmentation feels almost like a rubber band lightly snapping on your skin. Each session lasts a mere ten minutes, meaning that the treatment is easy to work into your busy lifestyle.
