This is perhaps a frequently asked question, especially among women who are looking for a safe, yet quick treatment. There’s good news! You can opt for skin rejuvenation with the help of laser technology, which is a procedure considered to be safe and quite effective in rejuvenation of the skin and treating melasma.
PicoSure Focus: The Procedure Chosen by Celebrities
While there are other laser technologies and procedures for skin rejuvenation, the one that’s the most popular is PicoSure Focus, because this is the only technology that stimulates production of collagen and elastin without destroying the overlying skin cells, as was done by earlier procedures.
This means that each treatment results in smoother skin that is free from wrinkles and spots due to formation of new collagen and elastin. In addition to this, PicoSure is just as effective at disrupting melasma pigments as against tattoos. Other features of this technology are;
- Non-invasive, which means safe and no recovery time needed
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Treats melasma
- Reduce or improve acne scars
- Shrinks pores
Although this treatment is meant for everyone, those with a lighter skin tone seem to benefit more and can see immediate results.
The Procedure for Treating Melasma
Also known as hyper-pigmentation, this condition is extremely common and often frustrating, as there are very few options for effectively treating it. Women fall victim to the condition far more than men, seeing as one of the reason of this condition is hormonal change.
Often enough, a combination treatment is possibly required when trying to remove melasma. Use of sun-blocks and bleaching creams may be recommended in this case, to be applied in conjunction with the PicoSure laser treatment.
Introducing the PicoSure ‘Focus’ Laser Technology
Other than this laser procedure for melasma treatment, there’s one other method, which isn’t as popular largely because it destroys skin cells and is of extremely high intensity that results in damage to nearby areas as well.
The PicoSure Focus ‘microlens’ however, is a newer and much better treatment and is FDA approved. Hyper-pigmentation or melasma is greatly reduced with it, in the same way as tattoos. However, the only difference is the usage of the microlens through which laser beams are split into tiny hot spots, which not only makes this procedure a much safer one, but also lowers the chances of burns. In addition to this;
- There’s virtually no downtime required
- No pain is felt during and after the procedure, although mild redness may last for a few hours
The Results of PicoSure ‘Focus’
You will see a significant reduction in melasma with only about 3 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Women (and men) with lighter skin tones may benefit slightly more from their much darker counterparts, but this doesn’t meant that the procedure isn’t effective for all.
