Scars Treatment

New Light Laser & Aesthetics is excited to bring the PicoSure Laser to Medicine Hat!

In just a few fast, easy treatment sessions with our PicoSure laser, scars are much less visible, leaving behind clearer, more attractive skin. Unlike lasers in the past that relied on intense heat energy which caused pain and led to significant skin redness and downtime, this gentler treatment provides impressive results without the associated discomfort and downtime of traditional lasers. With PicoSure, there is no need to sacrifice safety, comfort or convenience for effectiveness. Finally it is one of the few lasers that is effective for ALL SKIN TYPES!

Picosure is a new generation of lasers and is considered a breakthrough in laser technology! It delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second to gently target and eliminate pigment without harming the surrounding skin. 

PicoSure is designed to activate the body’s natural immune response while minimizing injury and discomfort. Because it uses gentle pressure instead of dangerous, damaging heat there’s no need for a long, painful recovery. In fact, most patients only experience a few hours of mild redness.

‍Pre-treatment/Post treatment Instructions - PicoSure

Precautions to take before your light-based treatment:

• No sun exposure, tanning beds and sunless tanning cream for 4 weeks prior to treatment. Sun exposure decreases the effectiveness of the laser treatment and can increase the chance of Post treatment complications.
  

• Use a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply to the treated area every 2 hours when exposed to the sun and it is recommended to make this a part of your skin care routine.
  

• Remove all makeup, creams or oils prior to treatment.
  

• Be sure to inform your care provider if you have ever had cosmetic tattoos or cosmetic pigmentation or permanent makeup applied near the area of treatment.
