PicoSure
Description
PicoSure is a state-of-the-art laser treatment widely used for tattoo removal, skin revitalization, and the treatment of pigmented lesions. The procedure utilizes picosecond laser technology, which delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the targeted area. These pulses are so fast that they generate a photomechanical impact, known as PressureWave, that shatters the ink or pigment into tiny particles. This allows the body to naturally eliminate the fragments over time. To begin, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure patient comfort. The practitioner then uses the PicoSure device to administer the laser energy in a controlled manner, adjusting the settings based on the specific condition being treated and the patient's skin type. The entire procedure usually lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the treatment area. Patients may experience a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but this discomfort is generally well-tolerated. Following the treatment, a cooling gel or an ice pack may be applied to soothe the skin and reduce any potential redness or swelling. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, especially for tattoo removal, with treatments typically spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and follow post-treatment care instructions to maximize the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.

Below are the key procedures offered at our clinic, categorized for your convenience. **Lifting Procedures** - **Ultherapy (Ulthera Tightening)**: This FDA-approved treatment targets the deep layers of skin to stimulate collagen production for a natural lifting effect. It is ideal for lifting the brow, neck, and under-chin areas. - **HIFU Lifting (Ultraformer III)**: Uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles by targeting the SMAS layer. It's a non-invasive alternative to a facelift. - **Thread Lifting**: Involves inserting biodegradable threads under the skin to lift and support sagging areas. The threads stimulate collagen production, offering dual benefits: immediate lift and long-term rejuvenation. - **Inmode Lifting**: Combines radiofrequency and fractional energy to remove excess fat and tighten skin. It's particularly effective for contouring the face and neck. **Laser Treatments** - **Laser Toning (PicoSure 755)**: Targets hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and acne scars by delivering ultra-short pulses to break down pigment. Suitable for all skin types and requires minimal downtime. - **Fractional Laser (Fraxel)**: Treats fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and large pores by creating microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. This results in smoother and more even-toned skin. **Skin Care Procedures** - **Aquafacial**: A multi-step facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin. It’s highly effective for improving skin texture and clarity. - **Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial**: Uses hyperbaric oxygen to infuse hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins into the skin, promoting deep hydration and lifting. Ideal for immediate skin rejuvenation and glow. **Injectables** - **Botox**: Commonly used to reduce facial wrinkles and lines by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles. It’s also effective for treating conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). - **Dermal Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane)**: Injected into the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They offer immediate results with minimal downtime. **Body Contouring** - **CoolSculpting**: A non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It’s effective for areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. - **Liposonix**: Uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to target and destroy fat cells beneath the surface of the skin. This non-surgical procedure is ideal for contouring the waistline.
