The "picosecond" of picosecond laser is a unit of time that can generate powerful light shock waves in a short pulse time, slowing down the thermal effect and tissue damage. The time is short, the heat energy is small, but the energy is enhanced. During treatment, it can effectively destroy the pigments and spots on the skin, break up the pigments, and make them easier to metabolize.
Products Description
Feature
Details
Pulse rate
Pulses are emitted in picoseconds (10-12). The pulse time is 100 times shorter than that of nanolasers.
Results
Since the picosecond laser breaks down melanin into finer particles, it shows results faster on stubborn pigments.
Efficacy
Skin pigmentation can be treated in fewer sessions.
Safety
There is less risk of tissue damage and it is therefore safer.
What Skin Problems Can Be Treated With Picosecond Laser?
Melasma
Sun spots, liver spots, age spots (solar dermatitis)
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Freckles
Nevus of Hori
Tattoos
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and wrinkles
Inflammatory acne
Red acne marks or spots
Acne rosacea
How does Picosecond Laser Treatment work?
Lasers work by bypassing the outer layers of the skin and penetrating down into the deeper layers to target excess melanin pigmentation. They essentially focus light, acoustic and thermal energy on the melanin, breaking the pigment down into smaller particles. These particles can then be cleared away by the body’s natural lymphatic system. The thermal energy also boosts collagen production, helping to rejuvenate skin tissue. Lasers operate at different wavelengths or frequencies, each of which targets specific pigmentation (color) and layers (or depths) of the skin.
How do I know if picosecond laser is the right tattoo removal laser for me?
As the leading picosecond laser, picosecond laser is able to treat all colors of tattoo ink on patients of all skin-types, so it's very likely that Pico could work for you! Plus, Picolaser has been shown to remove tattoos in fewer treatments so speak to your local provider to about a treatment plan that's right for you.
How do I know if picosecond laser is the right skin revitalization treatment for me?
Picosecond laser is the most versatile short-pulse laser in the world, allowing it to treat a wide variety of pigment conditions as well as acne scars and wrinkles. While other aesthetic products and lasers can treat similar conditions, picosecond laser is the only way to achieve great results without the pain, redness and downtime.
Is picosecond laser safe?
Picosecond laser's ultra-fast pulses and specialized wavelengths work together to minimize the amount of heat that is transferred. Less heat means less damage to surrounding skin and less risk of injury.
How long does the picosecond laser take?
Picosecond laser time depends on the size of the area to be treated, and 10 minutes is common for average sized tattoo and skin revitalization treatments.
Do I have to avoid the sun before and after treatments?
The sun exposes the skin to harmful radiation. To protect itself, the body produces extra melanin, causing the skin to tan. Since picosecond laser targets melanin to remove excess pigment, a heavy tan may interfere with treatment. After laser treatments for removal of tattoos and unwanted pigment, the skin is more vulnerable to sunlight so minimizing sun exposure and use of sunscreen of SPF30+ is recommended.
How many treatments are necessary?
The number of picosecond laser treatments for unwanted pigmentation will vary depending on the condition being treated and how each individual responds. For tattoo removal, the size, location and density of ink play important roles in how quickly clearance can be achieved, but 4-10 treatments* is common for modern tattoos. Your treatment provider will be able to evaluate and provide you with a personalized plan. The number of treatments for skin revitalization is largely dependent on the clinical condition being addressed but 2-5 treatments are common.
