Laser pigmentation treatments are not just reserved for the face! Many areas of the
body are prone to pigmentation, and this includes genitalia. Both male and female
intimate regions experience pigmentation spots or patches, which can make many
individuals feel extremely self-conscious and have lasting impacts on romantic
interactions. Skinnotion is proud to offer PicoSure laser treatments for the effective
removal of intimate pigmentation. PicoSure is the world’s gold standard laser for
pigment, with market-leading technology that combines multiple laser wavelengths,
including 532nm, 755nm, and 1064nm.
How Does PicoSure Work?
PicoSure delivers a targeted photomechanical response to the skin. Pigmentation, including freckles, age spots and melasma, is broken up into tiny fragments which allows for the body to eliminate it safely. Not all pigmentation is the same, and needs to be approached in an individualised way. With multiple wavelengths and spot sizes, your PicoSure treatments will be customised to your specific needs.
PicoSure vs Traditional
Laser Treatments
PicoSure laser enables non-surgical, non-invasive skin treatment with less discomfort
and downtime of traditional laser skin treatments. Traditional lasers can produce intense
heat in the tissue, which not only increases downtime and discomfort, but increases the
chances of actually stimulating more pigment as a result. PicoSure combats this by
delivering laser energy differently to other modalities. Picosecond laser energy is
delivered in powerful, ultra-short pulses, which effectively shatters pigmentation like
tattoos and sun damage without the heat lingering, minimising damage to the
surrounding tissue.
What Can I Expect During PicoSure Pigmentation Treatments?
Most treatment sessions last around 20-30 minutes, but this will of course be
determined by the size of the treatment area. Depending on your skin type and the
severity and depth of your pigmentation, multiple sessions may be required to achieve
noticeable, lasting results. PicoSure laser is not considered painful, but topical
anaesthetic cream can be administered to reduce discomfort if you choose. Typically
you will experience a warm, flicking or snapping sensation as the laser energy is
dispersed into the skin.
What Is The Downtime After
PicoSure Treatment?
Compared to traditional non-ablative resurfacing lasers for pigmentation, PicoSure is
less painful during the treatment and has less associated downtime. Generally, the skin
will feel slightly warm and appear pink or red for several hours following your treatment,
which usually dissipates by the next day. When pigment absorbs photoenergy, it often
changes colour. After PicoSure, your pigmentation may appear darker, sometimes grey
or black-brown. This will happen right away, and will usually continue to darken over the
coming days. Over the next 1-2 weeks, some of the pigment will be pushed up to the
surface of the skin and eventually flake off. It is important to avoid picking or scrubbing
during this time. You may resume your normal activities straight after treatment,
ensuring gentle skin products and no intensive exercise for the following 24 hours. It is
absolutely crucial to keep the skin away from sunlight, to keep it hydrated, and to avoid
exfoliating agents for 5-7 days following treatment.
