Pico Laser is a medical aesthetic treatment that utilizes ultra-short pulse technology. The term "pico" represents one trillionth of a second. This technology can concentrate energy at the target location at extremely high speeds, using photoacoustic effects to break down pigment particles in the deeper layers of the skin while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissues, thereby improving treatment efficiency and comfort.
Pico Laser can be used to address various skin concerns, with common applications including:
Traditional lasers primarily rely on thermal energy to break down pigments, which may cause more thermal stimulation, leading to redness or longer recovery periods. Pico Laser, however, uses ultra-short pulses to shatter pigments through "photoacoustic effects," resulting in less thermal damage to the skin. Recovery time after treatment is generally shorter, and the overall comfort level is higher.
Before Pico Laser treatment, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied. The entire session typically takes 60-70 minutes, and the procedure is generally comfortable, with some individuals experiencing mild tingling or warmth.
Most people will require multiple sessions as needed (spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart), with the exact number varying based on individual skin type and pigmentation conditions.
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, which typically subsides naturally within a few hours to several days.
Most people can resume daily activities on the same day. After the procedure, it's recommended to avoid intense sun exposure and pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection. If needed, medical staff will provide appropriate care recommendations.
Pico Laser is suitable for individuals who wish to improve pigmentation, acne scars, or skin texture.
Those with severe dermatitis, active infections, pregnancy, or taking certain medications should first consult with a professional doctor to assess suitability for the procedure.
