Melasma and Tattoo Removal
PicoLazer, IPL & Blue Light Therapy
- PicoLazer Tattoo & Pigmentation Removal
What is PicoLazer?
PicoLazer is an advanced non-thermal laser treatment designed to safely reduce and remove unwanted tattoos, dark spots, and pigmentation. Unlike traditional lasers, PicoLazer delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that break down pigment without burning or damaging surrounding tissue.
Why Choose PicoLazer?
- Effective removal of tattoos and pigmented lesions
- Minimal discomfort with reduced heat and tissue damage
- Safe for a wide range of skin concerns and tones
What to Expect During PicoLazer Treatment
At Prestige MedSpa in Columbia, MD, every PicoLazer treatment starts with a personalized consultation. After cleansing and numbing the skin, the laser precisely targets pigmentation with little discomfort (patients describe it as mild “zaps”). Sessions typically take about an hour, with recovery and treatment frequency varying based on your goals.
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Treatments
What is IPL?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses advanced Pulse Configured Rhythm (PCR) technology to deliver customizable, precise treatments for a wide range of skin concerns. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths to address different skin issues.
Benefits of IPL at Prestige MedSpa
- Skin Rejuvenation: Improve tone, texture, and overall skin radiance
- Pigmentation & Redness: Fade sunspots, age spots, and broken capillaries
- Acne Treatment: Reduce active breakouts and improve clarity
- Hair Removal: Achieve smoother, long-lasting hair reduction
What to Expect During IPL
Your provider will begin with a consultation and skin analysis. During treatment, a cooling gel is applied, and protective eyewear is worn. The IPL device delivers controlled light pulses with built-in contact cooling for comfort. Sessions last 10–40 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Many patients see visible improvement after the first session.
- Blue Light Therapy for Acne
What is Blue Light Therapy?
Blue Light Therapy is a safe, non-invasive acne treatment that uses 415nm light to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. It’s an excellent solution for patients struggling with breakouts who want a gentle yet effective treatment.
How Blue Light Therapy Works
At Prestige MedSpa, we use the Ultralight LED device, which features Red (633nm), Green (532nm), and Blue (415nm) wavelengths for comprehensive skin benefits. Blue light specifically targets acne bacteria, while red and green light help with healing and calming the skin.
What to Expect
After cleansing, protective eyewear is provided, and the treatment begins. Each session lasts about 15 minutes. Multiple sessions are recommended for best results, with improvements seen over consistent treatments.
