What PiQo4 Laser Can Treat

The PiQo4 laser represents the latest advancement in laser technology for addressing a wide range of skin concerns. At Cosmedic Dermatology in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Dr. Shauna Diggs and her team use this cutting edge system to help patients achieve clearer, more radiant skin with minimal discomfort. The versatile nature of this treatment makes it suitable for all skin types, from fair to dark, offering effective solutions for pigmentation issues and overall skin rejuvenation.​

Effective Tattoo Removal

The PiQo4 laser offers one of the most powerful and effective options available for tattoo removal. This advanced system can be adjusted to four different wavelengths, allowing it to target and shatter nine of the most commonly used tattoo pigments. While black pigment has traditionally been the easiest to treat, the PiQo4 can also fade lighter colored tattoo pigments effectively. With optimal treatment sessions, your tattoo can be significantly faded and in some cases, removed completely, though results depend on factors like ink type, depth, and your individual skin response.​

Treatment for Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that involves an overproduction of skin pigment, resulting in dark patches across the face and other sun exposed areas. The PiQo4 laser effectively treats sun spots, age spots, and melasma by targeting these areas to remove the outer, damaged skin cells. The laser uses ultra short pulses of light energy to break down pigment beneath your skin, whether it’s tattoo ink or age spots. This process promotes the growth of new skin cells, creating a more even skin tone and helping patients achieve a refreshed appearance.​

Overall Skin Rejuvenation

Beyond treating pigmentation concerns, the PiQo4 laser can be used for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. The laser energy stimulates new collagen growth within the skin, promoting the development of stronger, healthier tissue. This collagen stimulation helps improve skin texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and creates a smoother, more youthful looking complexion. Many patients appreciate that the treatment is quick, with most sessions lasting only about 20 minutes, and there is typically minimal downtime afterward.​

What to Expect During Treatment

The PiQo4 system includes an advanced cooling feature that keeps your skin comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients see improvements after just a few treatments, though the exact number of sessions you will need depends on your specific skin concerns and treatment goals. During your consultation at Cosmedic Dermatology, Dr. Diggs will evaluate your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.​
