Summer has come and gone in the blink of the eye, but the telltale signs of sun damage and wild summer days still linger. Freckles, in particular, can be fairly frustrating for individuals with fair complexions, and become even more prevalent after a fun-filled summer spent frolicking in the sun. PicoSure, the world’s first and only picosecond aesthetic laser, is the most effective and painless way to tackle and eliminate those freckles once and for all.
Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, medical director of the Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center was the first physician in Greater Cincinnati to offer PicoSure to patients starting in March 2015. He has used it with tremendous success on dozens of patients suffering from “tattoo regret.”
Says Mendelsohn, “PicoSure technology has made it possible to remove unwanted tattoos via a faster and safer method than ever before. However, now that summer has come and gone, I anticipate a high demand from patients wanting to eliminate those remnants such as dark spots, freckles and age spots left behind by the summer sun. Any of these lovely dots that appear on one’s face or body are signs that they have been in the sun without protection far longer than they should have been.
He adds, “Hyperpigmentation is caused by an increase or proliferation of pigmented cells known as melanocytes, in the skin. PicoSure® works nicely to remove both superficial pigment and sun damage. Patients can expect tremendous results without the typical discomfort or downtime that is common with other laser treatments. It is fast and safe, and effectively cuts the number of treatments in half over a traditional laser due to its tremendous speed.”
Dr. Jon E. Mendelsohn is double board certified by both the American Board of Facial & Reconstructive Surgery and also the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery. He serves as the medical director of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center’s new, state-of-the-art facility located in the first floor of the Rookwood Tower at 3805 Edwards Road in Hyde Park.
