The PicoSure laser, commonly known as the Pico laser, operates by emitting ultrashort laser pulses in picoseconds, in contrast to the conventional Q-switched laser, which uses nanosecond pulses. This laser system utilises a 755nm wavelength Alexandrite laser and harnesses the power of picosecond laser technology to effectively address hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and tattoos.
The Picosure laser works by firing laser beams with extremely short pulse durations at the skin. A topical numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment to reduce any discomfort. Patients will only experience a mild pricking sensation during the treatment. The entire treatment should take around 30 minutes.
Some common uses of Picosure laser include:
Pico lasers can be used to stimulate collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores and other signs of aging. It gives the skin a more youthful glow and brings about a noticeable change in the texture and softness.
Pico lasers can be used to break up areas of pigmentation on the skin, such as freckles, age spots and melasma.
Pico lasers are highly effective at removing tattoos of all colors, including difficult-to-remove ink like green and blue.
It can be used to target and destroy the bacteria that causes acne, as well as reduce the appearance of acne scars.
PicoSure employs a 755 nm Picosecond Alexandrite laser, distinguishing it from the majority of Pico Lasers. Its low heat output, combined with the swift pulsing of the laser, generates a powerful photomechanical effect, enabling the delivery of more laser shots to the dermal layer to stimulate collagen and elastin production with increased precision. Importantly, this occurs with minimal effect on adjacent skin tissues, leading to a shorter recovery period.
When combined with its patented propriety Focus Lens Array, which utilizes a diffractive lens for skin rejuvenation, it enhances outcomes related to pigmentation, skin texture, and acne scars. This enhancement is achieved by concentrating energy into multiple minuscule points. This heightened energy generates micro-injuries within the epidermis to promote the development of fresh collagen and elastin.
Most people may experience some skin redness for about 1-2 days. For certain conditions such as solar lentigos or freckles, a thin scab may form over the treated area. This usually flakes off over the next few days. Skin recovery after PicoSure treatment is quick with minimal downtime.
3 sessions with an interval of 4-6 weeks between each session are usually recommended if you are looking for visible, long-lasting results. However, each patient is unique and a consultation with one of our doctors is necessary prior to treatment.
PicoSure treatment is well-suited for individuals seeking to diminish skin discoloration, fine lines, dark pigmentation, or acne scars without enduring extended recovery periods and the discomfort often associated with conventional laser procedures. While it is suitable for all skin types, it is important to discuss your concerns with your doctor to ensure that the appropriate combination of treatment is given to maximize your results.
