Cosmetic Non-Surgical Procedure

Who Should Consider Pico laser?

Ideal candidates for Pico Laser treatment are individuals looking to improve the appearance of their skin without the need for invasive procedures. If you’re troubled by pigmentation issues, such as sunspots or freckles, acne scars, fine lines, or unwanted tattoos, Pico Laser may be suitable for you. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. A consultation with our experts will help determine if Pico Laser is the right option based on your skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals.

What to Expect When Getting Pico laser

 

Undergoing Pico Laser treatment is a straightforward and comfortable experience. Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may feel a slight snapping sensation, similar to the snap of a thin rubber band, but discomfort is minimal. The procedure is non-invasive, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, making it an ideal “lunchtime” procedure. Our skilled practitioners ensure a personalized treatment plan for optimal results with minimal discomfort.

Preparing for your procedure

Preparation for Pico Laser treatment involves a few simple steps to ensure the best possible outcome. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to your session. It’s also important to discontinue the use of any retinol or acid-based products a few days before treatment. During your consultation, our team will provide you with a comprehensive list of pre-treatment instructions tailored to your specific needs and skin type.

Pico laser Surgery Recovery

Recovery after Pico Laser treatment is minimal, with most patients experiencing only slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Unlike more invasive procedures, there is no significant downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately. Post-treatment care is straightforward, involving the application of a moisturizer and strict sun protection to safeguard the treated area and promote healing.

    Pain Management, What To Expect?

    Pico Laser treatments are designed to be comfortable and tolerable, with most patients reporting minimal pain. The sensation is often described as a quick, light snap against the skin. For those with a low pain threshold, a topical numbing cream can be applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. Our team at Grossman Plastic Surgery prioritizes your comfort and will discuss pain management options during your consultation.

    Ideal Results

    Patients can expect to see a noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and clarity following Pico Laser treatment. The reduction in pigmentation, diminished acne scars, and overall rejuvenation of the skin can become apparent after just a few sessions. Results continue to improve with subsequent treatments, as collagen remodeling takes place, enhancing the skin’s natural beauty. The number of sessions required varies based on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes, which will be discussed during your initial consultation.

    Additional FAQs

    What Is Pico Laser Technology?
    The Pico laser is a non-invasive alternative to some surgeries that treats a majority of common skin imperfections that include acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and sun spots. When it comes to the newest and most advanced laser treatments currently available at cosmetic surgical centers, Pico laser technology is the most sophisticated option offering the best results. The Pico laser delivers permanent results that are noticed within fewer sessions when compared to other technologies. At Grossman Plastic Surgery, the Pico laser is primarily used to remove tattoos, and it is also used in an anti-aging treatment plan focusing on the face and to address specific problems a patient may have across the body, targeting a wide range of specific areas that need treatment.
    How Does the Pico Laser Work?
    The Pico laser works by creating pigmented lesions that enhance elastic production in the skin, which fades or removes tattoos (for treatable colors), and it also gives the skin a fuller, softer, and more youthful appearance. When Dr. Grossman applies Pico laser treatments, ultra-short energy pulses void of heat are sent to the problem areas where the “problem skin” pigment is shattered, destroying the bad pigment particles through the body’s natural elimination process.

    Due to the combination of Dr. Peter Grossman’s skillset and mastery of the Pico laser, and the technology’s ultra preciseness, an optimal photomechanical effect is achieved.

    Are Pico Laser Treatments Painful?
    Pico laser treatments are not painful. While the technology delivers highly concentrated energetic pulses, the effect is gentle on the skin’s outer layer and there is zero chance of burns. At Grossman Plastic Surgery, the most any patient has ever reported was mild discomfort during the treatment. For those receiving the Pico laser treatment to sensitive areas, Dr. Grossman can apply a topical cream that numbs the skin to improve the patient’s comfort.
    Pico Laser for Acne Scarring

    Without the right skin treatment, acne scars can last a lifetime, having a severe impact on a person’s confidence and self-esteem. People will waste time and money trying to find an effective way to fade or eliminate acne scars, but the treatment protocols previously invested in offer little. Pico laser technology has changed everything, as the treatment is highly effective because it does the following:

    • Pico laser creates micro thermal injuries on target areas
    • The minimally injured skin stimulates the body to enact its natural healing process
    • Skin is repaired and remodeled through the collagen production that takes place as the body heals itself

    Multiple studies have shown that the Pico laser has the ability to remove acne scars, and patients who have tried multiple treatment protocols before the Pico laser reported that this acne scar removal technology was the best way to treat their skin condition, and they even expressed that the treatment is easy and painless.

    Pico Laser for Sun Damage and Skin Discoloration

    While being harmless, standard sun damage, birthmarks, melasma, and other conditions that cause skin discoloration can be very concerning for people and even have adverse effects on one’s mental health. Dr. Grossman can target certain areas and small patches of skin using the Pico laser to minimize the risk of thermal damage, and the Pico laser can be adjusted to send an array of wavelengths that target and remove superficial pigmentation. When it comes to treating conditions that discolor the skin, Pico laser technology can give patients noticeable results after just one treatment. This, coupled with its pain-free execution and safety, makes the Pico laser a leading form of technology for treating skin discoloration problems and sun damaged skin.
