PiQO4
The Most Powerful Pigment and Tattoo Removal Solution on the Market.
PiQo4 treats a wide range of pigment colors and its versatile energy matrix ensures effective shattering of the tattoo’s pigment. It also has the largest spot size on the market, which delivers faster treatments. With the PiQo4 you will be pleased with faster treatments and shorter sessions.
The PiQo4 offers up to 15 spot sizes, ranging from 2 mm to 15.5 mm. The 15 mm is the largest spot size in the industry and is almost four times bigger than the closest competitor. With the PiQo4, all skin types can be treated.
This enables treatment on all skin types, including darker skin, and reduces the chance of unwanted side effects.
The PiQo4 is a powerful Q-switch laser that allows us to treat not only tattoos but also stubborn pigmented lesions that other devices are not strong enough to treat effectively. When it comes to lentigines (brown spots) on the face, neck, décolleté, hands or shoulders that are larger in diameter than a pencil eraser, the Q-switch laser is the ideal treatment for removal of these unwanted spots. The laser itself is a high-intensity laser that is referred to as a cold laser because it can target and disrupt pigment or ink without heating up and damaging the surrounding tissue. The Q-switch laser uses nanosecond and picosecond technology. This means that the burst of energy is functioning at the rate of one billionth (Nano) or one trillionth (Pico) of a second. Depending on the amount of pigment present, the treatment causes very little discomfort and does not require any topical anesthetics. The treatment is also very quick and is safe for all skin types. Initially, there will be a bruising effect on the treated area. The post-care instructions include protecting the area from the sun and keeping it covered with an ointment such as Aquaphor. The bruising or redness typically clears with a week and can be concealed with makeup after the first 3-4 days. In most cases, only one treatment is needed, however for severe cases, 2-3 treatments may be needed. After the first week, the treated area may appear pink which can take 1-2 weeks to resolve as the skin progresses through its healing process.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
If you’re one of the thousands of men and women dealing with the frustration of unwanted hair on your body, you know how time-consuming and painful removing hair can be. For successful long-term hair removal in Bluffton, South Carolina we offer painless, fast, effective treatment through the Motus AX.
Fast, painless hair removal with the Motus AX
The Motus platform is the first high-speed Alexandrite laser that allows light AND dark skin tones to benefit from the effectiveness of the Alexandrite wavelength. In fact, the Motus AX laser hair removal treatment is fast, painless and effective on the widest range of skin types, more than any other laser hair removal treatment. It is also highly effective for treating pigmented lesions.
The technological breakthrough behind the Deka Motus AX is the proprietary Moveo technology. This technology was developed to overcome the limitations of the traditional Alexandrite laser 755nm for hair removal while retaining all of its advantages.
Moveo technology (moveo is Italian for move) in the Motus Laser uses simple, even movements over a small area gradually heating the vital parts of the hair and delivering enough heat to destroy the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. Because of the relative thermal relaxation time of the skin and the cooled sapphire tip, the Motus laser hair removal device makes treatments safe and completely comfortable for the patient.
Most laser systems with visible and infrared wavelengths emit energy that is largely reflected by the skin thus reducing the energy available for therapeutic purposes. The unique Moveo handpiece was designed for the Motus AX laser to solve this problem, enabling 100% energy absorption. The result is double the energy transfer compared to standard and professional laser hair removal machines and pigmentation treatments.
