Your skin weathers you through life. But if you could go into the future to “delete” your skin’s past, would you? The American Academy of Dermatology has unveiled future-catapulting laser treatment results in PiQo4 technology from Lumenis. Let’s go skin deep to discover the pigment erasing miracle!
What Is It?
Yes, we’ve heard it before. “Revolutionary” is just a fancy word for “new.” But PiQo4 is all but cliché. For starters, it is the only non-thermal laser that delivers four wavelengths at nanosecond and picosecond pulses. Putting aside this convoluted nerd talk, it performs wonders in treating:
- Melasma
- Birthmarks
- Sun damage and brown spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Tattoos
- Freckles
- Hyperpigmentation and scarring
- General skin tone and texture
How many Treatments to see Results?
This treatment is meant to be spaced at least 4 weeks apart from each session, in order for the pigment to break down & allow the skin to heal. On average, patients will see results after 3-4 sessions. However results may vary due to patients’ skin, for which some patients may see results in more or less sessions.
Word on the Street
Unanimously, we love it! Simply because it’s a unique solution for un-unique problems. PiQo4 works effectively for all pigmentations, no matter if they’re shallow or deep, minor or severe. But here’s what others say.
What Doctors Say
Because the wavelengths can be adjusted to penetrate different skin levels, the pigment is shattered without affecting the surrounding skin. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital, explains that the PiQo4 laser creates controlled microscopic wounds to promote faster results with no downtime and minimal injury. New York’s Dermatologist David Goldberg chimed in to endorse the innovation. He claims it’s the only laser to date that can treat melasma on its own.
What the Manufacturer Says
Lumenis boasts a 40% reduction in treatment time compared to traditional lasers. Owed to this speed, never before large-sized treatment areas up to four times larger can now be tackled. Such makes PiQo4 a viably unique solution for extensive pigmentation removals, such as birthmarks and scars. And unlike conventional lasers that are the archenemies of darker skin, the new technology practices true inclusivity for all skin tones!
Review from an actual patient:
“I have done multiple PiQo4 Rejuvenation treatments and am so happy about the results! My skin is brighter, and more even toned!
Can’t wait to see further results with more treatments!”
