It might be August already but here in Santa Barbara, California summer isn’t going anywhere. We love the abundance of sunshine but we can’t forget about the adverse effects of sun damage (e.g. sunburns, skin cancer, premature aging). Whether you’re spending a day at the beach, riding your bike along the coast, or wine tasting in the Funk Zone, remember to protect your skin.

From acne scars to tattoo removal, PicoSure has become a go-to treatment for various skin issues. Both fast and non-surgical, PicoSure is a laser skin treatment that targets problem areas with short laser pulses. The laser is a non-invasive and gentle way to experience a revitalized you. PicoSure uses fall into two main categories. The first is for several skin treatments. Sun damage, age spots, freckles, acne scars, and wrinkles are all capable of being treated by the PicoSure laser. By focusing on specific problem areas, the PicoSure laser, also known as a picosecond laser, can give patients a more youthful appearance with little downtime. In the past, lasers relied on intense heat energy to remove pigment from the skin, which was often painful, leaving skin red and irritated. But now PicoSure uses a unique method of action, “focus concentrates energy” to generate laser-induced breakdowns (LIOB) in the epidermis. These laser induced breakdowns cause pressure waves which reach into the dermis, activating cell signaling and initiating an enhanced inflammatory healing response. This leads to increased collagen and elastin but without the thermal injury of other lasers. The patient experiences only a few hours of mild redness but with a few treatments can see pigment, wrinkle and acne scar improvement. Second to skin revitalization, but just as effective, PicoSure is also used for tattoo removal. By targeting the ink particles with high-pressure pulses, the tattoo is broken up into tiny particles that are slowly eliminated from the body. In a few treatments, the tattoo will appear to fade continually. PicoSure has become a favored treatment of clients at The G Spa in Santa Barbara. Dr. Griffin and her staff are happy to answer any questions to make sure you are choosing the treatment that is right for you.
