What Is PICOPLUS?
At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we proudly offer the most advanced treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. PICOPLUS is a picosecond laser that safely and effectively treats a variety of pigmentary conditions, such as freckles, sun spots, moles, melasma, birthmarks, and tattoos. This laser’s pulse is 100 times shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers and emits less thermal heat, giving you quicker results and a decreased risk of damaging the surrounding tissue. PICOPLUS is the most powerful picosecond laser on the market for removing tattoos, treating pigmentation issues, and more. We are thrilled to bring the advanced technology of PICOPLUS to our patients in Devon, PA.
How Does PICOPLUS Work?
Each PICOPLUS treatment plan will be customized to meet your specific needs and address your personal aesthetic concerns. PICOPLUS includes the options for two different wavelengths of lasers and two different pulse modes to better target and treat stubborn tattoos and pigmentation issues in fewer sessions. The powerful pulses of PICOPLUS shatter the pigment into smaller particles so that your body can easily remove them naturally. A topical or injectable anesthetic may be used to ensure your comfort before treatment. You may feel a slight warming or prickling sensation during treatment, but most patients do not experience any great discomfort. PICOPLUS treatments are relatively quick; however, the exact treatment time will depend on your specific needs and the areas being treated. The laser may be passed over the treatment area multiple times to optimize results. Once the session is over, a cold compress may be applied to the treated area to help soothe your skin.
What Are the Benefits of PICOPLUS?
PICOPLUS is designed to erase stubborn tattoos and remove unwanted pigmentation with reduced risk and downtime. With its advanced technology, PICOPLUS is both effective and safe. Some of the benefits our Devon, PA patients experience from treating their concerns with PICOPLUS include:
- Reduce pigmentation spots
- Lighten unwanted tattoos
- Remove microblading or cosmetic tattoos
- Reduction in the appearance of pigmented birthmarks
- Minimal downtime and discomfort
- Quick and effective treatment
PICOPLUS® Reviews
I’ve been there for Laser skin treatment and for tattoo removal. I've had a couple sessions at a really great place before, so feel like I'm well equipped to share my experience. Really positive experience. Everyone was really nice and knowledgeable (mostly worked with Dr. Wang and Nelly). They also numb with injections rather than topical and it makes a huge difference!
Dr Wang and his Assistant are absolutely amazing! He is removing my tattoo and they both make the experience comfortable and painless . He answers all my questions every time ! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to laser me ! Highly recommend
Very professional clinic. Dr wang has treated my concerns with the fraxel duo laser and pico plus laser and have given me great results! Nelly is super helpful as well! I highly recommend this dermatology clinic.
Ok, so I hate admitting that I care about my aging skin. I want to be carefree about it and love all the changes happening, but I don’t. Damn you, patriarchy. And also I spent a ton of time working outside in the sun as a dogwalker in my twenties and thirties, thinking I was invincible and not wearing proper sun protection. I have regrets. That’s where Laser & Skin comes in. I was basically like I hate my face and neck area and I’m only in my early (okay pushing mid) 40s, what the heck? They did a consultation with me (shout out to Nelly for being such a rad nurse and for Dr. Jordan Wang for making me feel comfortable). He suggested I do the fraxel laser for face and neck and the pico for my abundant sun spots (and he didn’t yell at me for the sun damage, but did encourage hats and sunscreen for the future). I had both laser treatments and I am honestly both annoyed and elated to report a huge improvement in my skin. Sure, I wanted it to work, but also I’m like ok, so this is part of my yearly skin routine now I guess. They numb you up, which feels bonkers but doesn’t hurt. You just get your face slathered with a numbing cream. The laser itself isn’t the most comfortable feeling, but it’s not the worst either. You will have some downtown (they are not secretive about this and really help with lots of post treatment information. You’re gonna feel like you had a sunburn, then be a little sore, then itchy and flaky, and then, then- you are going to look f*c*ing radiant! I am dumbfounded that the giant sun spot on my nose is gone. My fine lines and wrinkles have diminished. I AM GLOWING. I’ll also add the the practice itself looks super pretty and modern and all of the staff are super nice. I am not a bougie main line type (no offense, you do you), and I still felt nothing but love from everyone there.
