Picosure
What Is PicoSure
Luxin Aesthetics offers a versatile FDA-approved laser known as PicoSure, which is primarily utilized for tattoo removal. However, PicoSure lasers are also effective in addressing sun-induced brown spots, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Results may become noticeable after just two sessions. This technology employs “pigment-seeking technology” to target pigmented areas or ink. The laser emits pulses of energy in a picosecond (one trillionth of a second), hence its name. These rapid bursts reduce the risk of burning, making it suitable for all skin types. The efficacy of PicoSure surpasses that of conventional technology.
How Is PicoSure Applied
Luxin Aesthetics utilizes ultra-brief bursts of energy to target tattoo removal, with patients often likening the sensation to a quick snap akin to a thin rubber band. Additionally, laser treatments for acne scars and skincare employ short pulses of laser light to address the skin’s deeper layers and support structure.
This prompts the body’s natural healing process to remove old, damaged tissue and promote the production of new collagen and elastin, vital for healthy skin. The treatment is swift, virtually painless, and requires minimal downtime.
Advantages of undergoing the PicoSure Treatment at Luxin Aesthetics.
Luxin Aesthetics offers top-tier tattoo removal services, along with permanent makeup removal. They specialize in treating epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions like melasma and age spots, particularly beneficial for dark skin tones. Their expertise extends to acne scar treatment, fine lines and wrinkles reduction, seborrheic keratosis, Ota nevus, Becker nevus, nevus spilus, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, as well as skin rejuvenation and renewal.
How many sessions of PicoSure treatments should be administered at Luxin Aesthetics?
Just a handful of sessions with Luxin Aesthetics can transform your skin, giving it a rejuvenated look by eliminating pigmented spots. Each session, lasting between 10 to 30 minutes with local anesthesia, is spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow your skin to recover. Some pigmented lesions may require extra attention if they are particularly dark, deep, or large. Typically, achieving optimal results involves 3-4 sessions with intervals of 4-6 weeks between each session.
Is PicoSure Safe
The Luxin Aesthetics procedure is generally regarded as safe. However, it’s advisable to treat the area post-procedure with care akin to a wound for a few days, as there may be swelling, warmth, pinpoint bleeding, and occasional tiny blisters. If you opt for Luxin Aesthetics treatment, it’s important to cease smoking two weeks prior to the procedure and inform your doctor about your medications and medical conditions.
Prospective candidates for PicoSure treatment.
The ideal candidate for Luxin Aesthetics treatments is someone in good overall health seeking to address pigmentation spots or healed tattoos. You may not be suitable for treatment if you:
– Have an autoimmune condition like lupus or type 1 diabetes
– Present with melanoma, an active infection (such as herpes), psoriasis, or eczema in the treatment area
– Are pregnant or breastfeeding
– Possess a tan
– Have a background of keloid scarring
Additionally, if you are taking blood thinners or have a pacemaker or defibrillator, Luxin Aesthetics treatments may not be advisable.
Considerations for undergoing a PicoSure treatment with Luxin Aesthetics.
Patients undergoing Luxin Aesthetics procedures should anticipate noticeable fading rather than complete elimination of tattoos. Additionally, the treated area may become sensitive post-operation. It’s crucial to keep the area clean and avoid irritation. The duration of your results hinges on sun protection and the natural aging process of your skin. Following facial rejuvenation treatments, you may experience minor swelling, redness, and a warm sensation for a few hours.
