What is Pico Lasers and How Does It Work?

Pico Laser Technology Explained

Pico laser technology utilises ultra-short laser pulses to deliver targeted energy to problem areas. Unlike traditional lasers, which rely on longer pulses and heat to break down pigmentation, Pico lasers use picosecond bursts of energy, which are 1,000 times shorter than nanosecond laser pulses. This allows the pico laser to shatter pigmentation and stimulate collagen production with minimal heat damage to surrounding tissues. 

The key difference between Pico lasers and traditional lasers lies in their approach. Traditional lasers often rely on thermal effects, which can cause more downtime and potential side effects. In contrast, Pico lasers deliver results with less discomfort and zero to minimal recovery time. It is ideal for treating skin concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scars.

Before your Pico laser treatment, a doctor consultation will be conducted to assess your skin type and concerns during consultation. Before the treatment begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream willmay be applied to minimise any discomfort.

During the session, the Pico laser device will delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to the targeted areas. The treatment typically lasts between 3015 to 4530 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as a rubberband snapping lightly on the skinslight tingling withor mild discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated.

Post-Treatment Care

To ensure optimal healing, it’s important to follow your doctor’s post-treatment care instructions. This may include avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen.

Pico Laser Downtime and Recovery

One of the key benefits of Pico laser treatment is its zero to minimal downtime. While some patients may experience mild redness or swelling, these symptoms typically resolve within one to two days. You can usually resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. 

A minimum of three Pico laser treatments spaced one month apart is recommended to improve skin tone and texture, and lightening pigmentations. For optimal results, your doctor will recommend the appropriate number of sessions based on your needs and desired outcome. Always consult a doctor as the number of sessions
