PiQo4 Laser Treatment for Pigmentation Removal

in Lincoln NE

Advanced Skin + Body Aesthetics, P.C offers the PiQo4 Laser by Lumenis for skin pigmentation removal

Advanced Skin + Body Aesthetics, P.C offers the PiQo4 Laser for skin pigmentation removal by Lumenis. There are numerous types of skin pigmentation like brown spots from sun damage, age spots, freckles, birthmarks, and patchy brown areas caused by Melasma, a condition related to sun exposure and hormones. For some of these conditions, the pigment is very close to the surface of the skin and for others it is much deeper.

The PiQo4 laser uses energy specifically aimed at the brown spot of concern and delivers it so fast that the pigment is immediately shattered with minimal heat generated. This gives the PiQo4 laser for pigmentation an advantage over other lasers and devices where bulk heating of surrounding tissues can cause increased tissue injury and patient downtime, and occasionally paradoxical worsening of pigmentation, especially on darker skin.

Skin Boosters

Skin regeneration has entered a new era with the introduction of PN (Polynucleotide) and PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) therapy—an advanced add-on treatment derived from salmon DNA known for its exceptional compatibility with human skin.

It works by stimulating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen production, making it a powerful ally in skin rejuvenation and recovery. Each session builds upon the last, as collagen remodeling continues over time, leading to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Why PN & PDRN Skin Boosters?

Accelerated Healing: Enhances cellular repair and shortens downtime after procedures.
Deep Hydration: Improves moisture retention and elasticity for supple, glowing skin.
Inflammation Reduction: Soothes redness and irritation following treatments.
Collagen Stimulation: Supports long-term dermal remodeling and firmness.
Brighter Complexion: Refines texture and restores luminosity.

These advanced formulations are now available as add-ons following microneedling and laser treatments, enhancing recovery and results.

These boosters provide a comprehensive approach to skin restoration—Rejuran for deep repair and VAMP for surface revitalization. Ask about adding Rejuran or VAMP to your next appointment. Experience the next level of skin rejuvenation with these powerful boosters—your skin will thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PiQo4 Pigmentation Laser used to treat?

PiQo4 treatments target pigmentation and discoloration on the face, neck, chest, arms, back and hands. Common pigmentation issues include sun damage, melasma, and post inflammatory discolorations from acne. PiQ04 laser treatments tackle a wide range of pigment shades with high energy and fast results. It is effective for everything from removing tattoos to birthmarks to discolored scars.

What is melasma and how is the PiQ04 laser beneficial?

A unique benefit of this laser is that it can treat Melasma. Melasma is a common condition that often affects women during pregnancy but can occur in both women and men. It is characterized by symmetrical brownish-gray patches on the face, neck, chest and forearms. Melasma is a chronic, recurrent, relapsing condition that causes no symptoms and is not associated with any specific disease. However, it is very psychologically damaging to a person’s self-confidence because the brown patches can be difficult to treat. Before the PiQ04 laser, melasma was treated with topical medications and chemical peels, but these often only provided on partial improvement.

How does it work?

The PiQ04 laser is different than others because it uses acoustic or sound energy rather than heat energy to obliterate discolorations of the skin. The PiQo4 laser is the only laser in the US that has four different wavelengths and the ability to deliver pulses in picoseconds, so that it targets just the unwanted pigment but spares normal surrounding skin. And, the spot size is completely adjustable to treat small and large areas and treatments are typically associated with minimal downtime.
Advanced Skin + Body Aesthetics we have state-of-the-art technologies, and the skills, experience and expertise needed to deliver superior, personalized results for all of our patients.

Does PiQo4 Pigmentation Laser Removal help with birthmark removal?

Yes, the PiQo4 laser is effective in helping with birthmark removal, particularly for pigmented birthmarks like café-au-lait spots, Nevus of Ota, and other similar conditions. The PiQo4 laser uses picosecond and nanosecond pulse durations to target and fragment the pigment in the skin, which the body then naturally eliminates. This technology allows for the treatment of a range of skin colors and a variety of pigment issues with fewer treatments and faster results. It’s important to have a consultation with a qualified specialist to evaluate the type of birthmark and determine if PiQo4 is the most suitable treatment option

Does the PiQo4 Pigmentation Removal require a consultation appointment prior to a treatment appointment?

Yes, a consultation appointment is typically required before undergoing PiQo4 Pigmentation Removal treatment. This initial consultation is crucial for assessing the specific characteristics of your pigmentation issues, discussing your treatment goals, and determining if the PiQo4 laser is the most appropriate solution. During the consultation, the practitioner can also provide personalized advice on what to expect during the procedure, potential outcomes, and any pre-treatment preparations necessary.
