Nearly everyone has some type of skin issue they’d like to get rid of. Sadly, most feel it’s just something they have to live with. But not so! Thanks to the laser skin treatments, your issues can be history.
Your freckles were adorable when you were a kid, but you’re not so crazy about them as an adult. Or maybe your skin issue is on the other end of the spectrum and instead of childlike freckles, wrinkles and age spots have appeared long before you’re ready for them. Another possibility is that your face bears the scars that show you overcame acne or spent a lot of time in the sun. Whatever your skin problem, you just know that it makes you feel self-conscious and you would like to get rid of it.
Laser Technology with PicoSure®
Cosmetic and medical dermatology has come a long way in the past several years. Treatments that used to be invasive and require a long recovery time can now be completely quickly with little to no down time. Laser technology has made this possible. The PicoSure laser in particular offers promising results for a variety of skin care concerns. It is significantly easier on the skin than typical heat-based therapies and can target many areas other than the face. The PicoSure laser can even help you get rid of unwanted tattoos with fewer sessions and less discomfort than other treatments.
How PicoSure Targets Your Skin Problems
PicoSure is a handheld laser that sends short bursts of light energy to all of your skin layers. The device is named for picosecond, which is the amount of time it takes for each burst of light energy to reach your skin once the device has been activated. A picosecond is just one trillionth of one second. That’s one millionth of one million. You don’t feel the short light pulses and the treatment is entirely safe for your skin.
It may take several sessions with PicoSure for the laser to break up your acne scars, tattoo, freckles, brown spots, or other unwanted marks on your skin. After each treatment, your skin absorbs what the laser has broken up and then your body eliminates it through natural means. Within a few weeks to months, you will see smooth, unblemished skin where you once saw problem areas.
PicoSure requires no anesthesia and you can get right back to your regular activities as soon as you walk out the door.
