A painful memory of spending too long in the sun? Desire to erase wrinkles, freckles, birthmarks, brown spots, melasma and other skin con-cerns? PiQo4 has the energy to undo the unwanted. Forever. PiQo4 is the only 4 wave-length treatment to use both Pico and Nano energies to remove undesirable pigments.
THE RESULTS
How does it work?
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.
FAQ
1. What is the treatment like?
Your practitioner will provide guidelines for before and after care, as well as the approximate time of the session.

PiQo4 skin resurfacing and 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. Persons with dark skin may be at increased risk of hypopigmentation. Hypo and hyper-pigmentation are a common risk of treatment. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.
​
When will I see results?
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 improvement in skin texture and pigmentation. Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have a visible improvement in the skin texture. Optimal results are typically achieved after 3-5 sessions in 2-6 weeks intervals. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.
What can I expect after treatment?
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.
