The PiQo4 is a laser that does not use heat. Instead, it uses acoustics for neocollagenasis. Since heat is not the primary source of energy, it is safer to use on lighter and darker skin. First, you’ll see an immediate improvement in skin texture. Second, the laser stimulates the body’s natural healing process which encourages the production of collagen and elastin. This process, called neocolloagenasis, will take place in the coming months.

Your practitioner will provide guidelines for before and after care, as well as the approximate time of the session. During treatment, you’re likely to hear tiny popping sounds and feel a sensation of heat over the treated area. The treated skin may feel tight, as it does after sunburn.

Every treatment is customized to your individual needs, and you’ll receive post-procedure instructions from your provider. In general, you can expect your skin to have a pinkish tone for 1-4 hours, and brown spots to appear lighter in appearance on the day after the treatment.

The treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Already after the first session, you may begin to notice an improvement in skin texture and pigmentation.

Typically about 3 sessions are needed to have a visible improvement in the skin texture, with optimal results usually taking 3-5 sessions done in 2-5 week intervals. Your provider will develop the best treatment plan for you.

PiQo4 laser pigmentation treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. Persons known to form skin keloids may be more prone to scarring after any skin trauma, including laser treatment to the skin. Hypo and hyper-pigmentation are a common risks of treatment. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.
