PICO Laser
What is PICO Laser?
PICO laser is a medical device that utilizes picosecond Nd:YAG laser technology for the treatment of pigmentation lesions and various skin conditions. This laser system is designed to deliver ultra-short pulses of energy with high stability in output energy and pulse duration, which are crucial factors for achieving optimal therapeutic results.
The ultra-short pulses of the PICO laser target pigmented areas more effectively, leading to reduced discomfort, pain, side effects, and downtime for patients. As a result, it offers a more comfortable and efficient treatment experience.
One of the key advantages of the PICO laser is its ability to deliver faster treatments with fewer treatment sessions. This makes it a convenient and time-saving option for both healthcare professionals and patients seeking effective solutions for pigmentation issues and skin conditions.
What is PICO Toning?
PICO Toning is a skin treatment that effectively addresses pigmentation lesions, skin aging, elasticity, and large pores. Additionally, it offers excellent results for skin rejuvenation. The treatment is safe, gentle, and has shown remarkable improvements in various skin conditions.
The PICO laser used in the toning procedure is equipped with a specific MLA handpiece, providing a larger spot size. This feature reduces the treatment time and frequency, making the process more efficient and convenient.
Am I an eligible patient?
If you are seeking a painless solution to achieve a bright skin tone and are concerned about issues like large pores, irregular skin texture, or scars, you may be an eligible candidate for PICO Toning. This treatment can help restore your skin’s natural clarity and radiance in a safe and mild manner.
Does it hurt during procedure?
The procedure is generally painless, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. However, in some cases where high energy delivery is needed for deep pigmentation, slight discomfort may be felt. To address this, topical anesthetics can be applied to reduce any discomfort during the treatment.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of treatment sessions required varies based on individual needs and skin conditions. Our physician will discuss your specific requirements and determine the appropriate number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results.
What precautions should I take?
Taking proper precautions is essential after the treatment to ensure optimal results and prevent any complications. Here are some recommended precautions:
- Apply Sunblock:
Sun protection is crucial, especially after laser treatments. Avoid direct sun exposure, and always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Keep Skin Hydrated:
Moisturize your skin regularly to keep it hydrated and promote healing.
- Avoid Picking or Scratching:
Refrain from picking, scratching, or rubbing the treated area to avoid irritation or infection.
- Follow Post-Treatment Instructions:
Adhere to the post-treatment instructions provided by your physician to ensure proper healing and avoid any adverse effects.
- Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and body hydrated, which aids in the healing process.
- Avoid Harsh Products:
Avoid using harsh skincare products or treatments on the treated area, as this may cause irritation.
The duration of the treatment results depends on the specific condition being treated:
- General Pigmentation Lesions:
The longevity of results for pigmentation lesions may vary depending on factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle, and skin maintenance. Regular use of sunblock and proper skincare can help prolong the results.
- Scars and Skin Texture Changes:
The improvement in scars and skin texture may be semi-permanent, as some changes may reoccur over time. However, the treatment can provide long-lasting improvement in the appearance of scars and skin texture.
