Pico Laser

Introduction

Introduction to Pico Laser Treatment

The innovative Pico laser is the ideal tool for addressing melasma, sunspots, and even unwanted tattoos with high precision and efficacy. With minimal downtime, it tackles a range of cosmetic imperfections and boosts collagen production by delivering picosecond pulses of light energy to the skin. Dr. Sahitya Reddy at Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is excited to offer patients access to today’s most cutting-edge skincare technologies while prioritizing safety and well-being at every juncture.

Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery is located in Atlanta, Georgia, within Sandy Springs, and just a short distance from Buckhead, Chastain Park, Brookhaven, West Paces Ferry, Johns Creek, and Alpharetta.

What Is Pico Laser Treatment?

The Pico (“picosecond”) laser is designed to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin, making it suitable for a range of cosmetic tasks, including the treatment of acne scarring and the removal of unwanted tattoos. Where conventional lasers rely on nanosecond pulses, the Pico laser emits pulses that last one trillionth of a second. This enables more precise targeting of skin irregularities without significant thermal damage to surrounding tissues, thereby minimizing downtime, discomfort, and associated risks. The Pico laser not only improves the appearance of superficial skin conditions but also stimulates collagen renewal for longer-term skin suppleness and resilience, making it one of the most versatile and effective tools in our arsenal at Atlanta Oculofacial Plastic Surgery.

The Pico laser is safe and effective for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile option at our Atlanta practice. However, it is still important that patients pursuing the treatment are in good health and have realistic expectations for their results.

What’s the First Step?

Getting started with Pico laser treatment is easy! You will meet with our team in Atlanta for a private in-person or virtual consultation, during which we will address your questions, conduct a thorough physical and medical evaluation, and begin developing your individualized treatment plan. Dr. Reddy will review the risks, benefits, costs, downtime, and projected results of Pico laser treatment, ensuring your expectations are realistic and that you fully understand all the details related to your session. Once your appointment is booked, we will provide you with some simple guidelines to help you get the most out of Pico laser therapy.

What to Expect on the Day of Pico Laser Treatment

Plan to arrive at your Pico laser appointment without makeup or cosmetics. After we quickly review your treatment plan, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to help ensure your comfort and relaxation. The Pico laser will then be directed at the targeted areas of the skin to boost collagen production and eliminate surface-level damage and debris. The whole treatment process usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes.

Pico Laser Recovery

The recovery process after Pico laser treatment is typically straightforward and uncomplicated. Compared to conventional lasers, there is almost no downtime required. However, minor redness and swelling may occur for the first few days after your session. Some may notice their skin darkening slightly before the damaged layer eventually sloughs off. Take care to protect your skin from harmful UV rays as it heals, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors. Most patients can expect to resume their normal schedules right away after their appointments.
