PicoSure Laser Machine
Cynosure’s PicoSure laser machine is a groundbreaking advancement in tattoo removal and skin revitalization. It delivers light energy in trillionths of a second, which spares the skin from high thermal damage while optimally targeting pigment, wrinkles, acne scars and pores with less downtime than traditional laser treatments.
PicoSure’s technology shatter ink particles into tiny fragments that are easily eliminated by the body, allowing for faster and more effective tattoo removal. It’s also safe and pain-free!
Ultra-short pulse duration
The picosure laser machine has ultra-short pulse duration, allowing it to break down pigmented and inked cells while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. This technology allows for a safe treatment with less discomfort and faster results.
A picosecond pulse is 10 times shorter than the nanosecond pulses of a Q-Switched laser, meaning that it can deliver more energy to the tissue in the same amount of time. The controlled damage caused by the laser also triggers the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
The picosure laser can also treat pigmented lesions and tattoos, including stubborn ink colors like lime-green and sky blue. It is also effective for treating melasma, a common condition that causes brown or grey spots on the face. The picosecond laser can effectively break down the pigment melanin responsible for this condition, causing it Custom fashion accessories to fade away without damaging the surrounding skin. Unlike other treatments that use heat to break down the pigment, the picosecond laser uses ultra-short pulses of light to shatter it into smaller particles that are more easily eliminated by the body’s natural healing process.
Effectively targets and breaks down skin pigments
Using a laser to treat unwanted pigmentation, discoloration and fine lines and wrinkles is an effective way to achieve your cosmetic goals. Picosure effectively targets the melanin found in those areas and breaks it down, so your body can naturally eliminate it. The machine can also remove tattoo ink by delivering energy to the area in short pulses, which fracture the pigmentation particles into small fragments.
Picosure can treat a variety of skin conditions that cause unwanted pigmentation, including sun spots and age spots, and acne scars. It can also be used to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin.
The treatment is quick, safe, and non-invasive. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which can be alleviated with a topical numbing cream. The machine uses Focus Lens Array technology to convert the laser energy into pressure waves, which trigger the skin’s natural healing process and stimulate collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for a firm, tight skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve the texture of your skin.
Pain-free treatment
Picosure laser treatment is a pain-free procedure, but to minimize discomfort, patients can apply a topical numbing cream. This should be applied an hour prior to the laser session and covers the entire treatment area.
The Cynosure PicoSure laser is an innovative tattoo removal technique that utilizes varying wavelengths of light energy to remove unwanted tattoo pigmentation and hyperpigmentation. It is also capable of removing birthmarks, freckles, acne scars, and sun spots, leaving the skin rejuvenated.
Because Picosure lasers use a range of different wavelengths, they are safe for patients with darker skin. However, it is important to note that the lasers are not recommended for melasma (patches of skin darker than the surrounding area), as these treatments may worsen the condition.
The Picosure laser is also effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as tightening the skin. This is because it does not rely on heat to burn and melt the melanin in the skin, as traditional tattoo and hyperpigmentation removal treatments do. Instead, it triggers the body’s production of collagen and elastin to tighten the skin and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.
Few side effects
With picosure, patients don’t have to worry about laser burn or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The technology uses a short burst of light to destroy pigment cells, sparing the surrounding skin and tissue. This minimizes side effects during treatment, and results in minimal downtime following treatment. Picosure is safe for all skin types and can be used on darker complexions to treat various issues, such as hyperpigmentation and tattoo removal.
The Picosure laser is also able to break down tattoo ink particles with ease, and the ultra-short pulse duration ensures that the tattoo fades without damaging the surrounding skin. The ink particles are fragmented and eliminated by the body’s immune system, resulting in a gradual fading of the tattoo over time.
Unlike other laser treatments, the picosure laser is non-invasive and provides immediate results. Patients may experience redness and swelling, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours following treatment. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding pre- and post-treatment care for the best results. This will include avoiding certain activities and using specific skincare products.
No downtime
Unlike nanosecond laser machines, the picosure machine delivers laser energy in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). This allows for much faster treatment with less damage to the surrounding skin. It also intense pulsed lighthair removal offers a wider range of laser wavelengths that can treat different pigment masses. Picosure is used to reduce the appearance of brown spots, improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and remove tattoos.
Laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in your skin or in the tattoo ink, and is converted to mechanical stress that breaks the pigments up into smaller particles your body can eliminate. The result is that the pigments and the ink fade away, and the fine lines and wrinkles appear much smoother.
Cynosure’s Focus Lens Array technology creates microscopic photomechanical reactions in the epidermis, stimulating your body’s natural healing process to increase collagen and elastin in the skin. The result is reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a more youthful skin tone.
