Some Marks Need a Little Help to Fade!
Pigmentation, acne scars, sun spots, and unwanted tattoos can make skin appear uneven and affect how you feel about your appearance. PICO laser treatment is considered to improve selected pigmentation, tattoo, acne-scar and skin-texture concerns by delivering short, focused pulses of energy to the targeted area.
How Does PICO Laser Treatment Work?
PICO laser treatment uses ultra-short picosecond pulses, measured in trillionths of a second, to target pigment and selected skin concerns through a photomechanical effect. Unlike lasers that depend more on heat, picosecond technology delivers energy in extremely brief bursts.
Depending on the wavelength and laser technology used, PICO laser may be considered for pigmentation, selected acne scars, tattoo removal, and certain skin-texture concerns.
A Quick Fact
A picosecond equals one trillionth of a second. PICO lasers deliver energy within these extremely short pulses, allowing the laser to interact rapidly with the targeted treatment area.
Ideal Candidate for PICO Laser Treatment
PICO laser may be suitable for individuals concerned about:
- Pigmentation and dark spots: Targeting selected areas of excess pigment.
- Sun spots: Treating certain pigmentation related to sun exposure.
- Acne scars: Improving selected depressed or textured scars.
- Uneven skin texture: Supporting improvement in certain textural irregularities.
- Unwanted tattoos: Helping break down tattoo pigment for gradual fading.
- Photoaging: Addressing selected signs associated with sun-related skin changes.
The suitability of PICO laser depends on the skin concern, skin type and previous treatment history.
