Pico Plus Laser for Treating Dark Spots and Redness, Restoring Smooth and Even Skin.

Pico Plus Laser has become a highly trending treatment in the beauty industry today. It effectively addresses acne scars, pitted scars, dark spots, redness, and tightens pores. Additionally, it is highly effective in treating conditions like melasma, freckles, and other pigmentation issues. The laser device also stimulates collagen production, contributing to overall skin rejuvenation. For anyone considering laser treatment, feel free to explore more information here.

What is the Pico Plus Laser Program?

The Pico Plus Laser program is specifically designed to target pigmentation and improve skin quality without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser energy is delivered with exceptional precision, emitting pulses at a speed of 1 trillionth of a second. This ultra-fast energy breaks down pigment particles more finely than traditional lasers, effectively treating unwanted pigmentation (hyperpigmentation) while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin layers. The treatment promotes the exfoliation of old skin cells, encouraging the regeneration of new skin cells.

Additionally, the Pico Plus Laser helps to fill in acne scars, tighten pores, reduce fine lines, stretch marks, and other scars. It can also fade tattoos and improve overall skin texture, leaving the skin smooth, radiant, and without residual scarring.

Pico Plus Laser Energy Parameters

The Pico Plus Laser is defined by the following key energy specifications:

Pulse Duration (PD)
The duration of the energy pulse. The Pico Plus has a Pulse Duration of 450 ps (picoseconds). A lower Pulse Duration is considered better, as it allows for more precise energy delivery with minimal heat transfer to surrounding tissues.

Peak Power
The maximum power that the laser can emit. A higher Peak Power value leads to more effective treatment results. Pico Plus has a Peak Power of 1.8 GW, which ensures optimal performance in addressing various skin conditions.

Wavelength
The Pico Plus Laser operates across multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a wide variety of skin concerns. The device offers four wavelengths: 1064 nm, 532 nm, 595 nm, and 660 nm, each designed for targeting different types of pigmentation and skin issues.

Does it hurt?

  • For the treatment of pigmentation, such as melasma or dark spots, the laser pulses will feel like a light flicking sensation on the skin. This sensation is generally mild and less painful compared to traditional lasers.
  • For more intensive treatments such as acne scars, enlarged pores, and tattoo removal, higher energy levels are required. Therefore, a topical numbing cream will be applied 30-45 minutes prior to the procedure, ensuring that the patient feels minimal discomfort or none at all during the treatment.

How long will the redness last after the laser treatment?

  • The duration of redness depends on the skin concern being treated. After the procedure, there may be a light pinkish hue to the skin, which typically fades within 6 to 24 hours. There is no bruising or intense redness, and patients can apply makeup immediately after the treatment.
    For treatments targeting enlarged pores, acne scars, uneven skin texture, or other deeper skin concerns, there may be some swelling, redness, or slight bruising under the skin. These symptoms gradually subside, and any scabbing will naturally fall off within 3 to 7 days.
  • Will the skin become thinner after laser treatment?
    Picosecond Laser specifically targets pigment without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps to thicken the skin. Since the skin naturally renews itself by shedding old skin cells and regenerating new ones every 28 days, there is no risk of thinning the skin from this procedure.
