PICO Laser Treatment in Mishawaka

PICO laser technology is a non-invasive laser treatment that can address most common skin imperfections, including tattoos, discolorations, and acne scarring. PICO technology is considered one of the most advanced laser treatments currently available, and it delivers noticeable, permanent results in fewer sessions than other laser treatments. It is also safe, requires minimal downtime, and can be used across your entire face and body. Come see us at the Centre Yourself medical spa to learn more about PICO laser treatment in Mishawaka.

Who Can Benefit From Pico Laser Treatment?

PICO laser treatments are particularly well-suited to remove unwanted tattoos from anywhere on your body. This technology is extremely precise, which helps increase the speed at which tattoo pigments can be broken up, requiring fewer treatments to achieve the desired result and leaving the surrounding skin untouched. While PICO lasers are highly effective, no laser treatment can remove all colored ink pigments from your skin. Black, gray, and dark green ink are most easily removed, while yellow, purple, and fluorescent inks are the most difficult to remove.

Skin discolorations such as birthmarks, melasma, and sun damage are typically harmless, but they can cause unease among men and women alike. When these discolorations pose a challenge to remove with conventional treatments, PICO laser treatment in Mishawaka may be just the solution. An innovative technology, a PICO laser can minimize natural pigmentation as it targets specific areas, reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

PICO lasers can also be adjusted to produce a range of wavelengths and fitted with a variety of applicators to target and remove certain pigmentations. It is powerful and effective enough to produce noticeable results in just one session, and its proven safety makes it a popular choice for patients with sensitive skin.

Acne scarring can be extremely stubborn, often lasting for years and resisting other treatment modalities. PICO laser treatments for acne scarring work by creating thermal injury to the target area, triggering the body's natural healing process. Collagen production is stimulated, which repairs and remodels the skin.

The Results

The results of PICO laser treatments for particular problems such as tattoos and scars are permanent. Treatments for superficial skin imperfections associated with aging are long-lasting but may resurface over time, requiring future maintenance sessions. PICO laser treatment is associated with minimal downtime, but following the session, you may experience a mild amount of redness or swelling that typically will resolve on its own within several hours. Both before and after the laser treatment, you must avoid direct sunlight and you should be diligent about wearing sunscreen every day.

Ideal Candidates for PICO Laser Treatment

PICO laser treatment in Mishawaka is safe for all skin types and tones, and is an excellent option for most people. Virtually anyone interested in what PICO has to offer can benefit from a consultation. However, you may not be a good candidate if you have certain conditions such as hypersensitivity to infrared light, open sores, irritation in the treatment area, are on certain medications, or have a history of skin cancer. If you have lighter skin and unwanted tattoos, sun damage, acne scarring, or another skin condition that you want treated, you may be an excellent candidate for this treatment.
