picosureA Norwood Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Jon Mendelsohn recently highlighted the potential of a brand new, sophisticated laser tattoo removal procedure named Picosure manufactured by Cynosure! The cost for him wasn’t low (almost $295000) but he had the opportunity to be the first in his area to provide such sophisticated service which is supposed to provide, faster, accurate results with less skin damage!

Why did Dr. Mendelsohn turn now to tattoo removal? Because it seems that there is a powerful new trend towards this direction mostly because of the stigma related to the tattoos! The doctor states:”When people hit their 30s, and now they’re in the workforce or they’re having children, suddenly the stigma matters,”

But how exactly does Picosure work? Based on a new laser which delivers pulses in picoseconds causing the tattoo ink to break into bits which the body can eradicate! Such potential intrigued Dr. Mendeloshn who is now carrying out his first tattoo removals and the results seem quite amazing! The results in the first 60-70 patients are quite satisfactory! As for the cost it’s between $1200 and $1800 and the patient needs 1-12 sessions to effectively remove it depending on the color and other features of the tattoo!

We at LipoAdvisor promise to carry out our usual study on Picosure like we did with hundreds of other procedures and will present the results of our study quite soon!
