Pico Skin Rejuvenation
Forget nanosecond technology, picosecond laser technology is the way to go for cosmetic rejuvenation. A picosecond equals one trillionth of a second and is indicative of the extremely rapid rate at which laser energy is delivered into the skin. Beyond delivering targeted bursts of laser energy, the speed that the light energy travels also stimulates a vibration throughout the skin’s surface, triggering an additional collagen response.
This cosmetic breakthrough means that Pico lasers are one of the world’s most efficient laser platforms for various aesthetic applications, including acne scar treatment, tattoo removal, ageing and pigmentation treatments.
Patients concerned about post-inflammatory hypo or hyperpigmentation caused by excessive heat from other laser treatments need not worry. The ultra-short bursts of picosecond laser energy mean that there isn’t much thermal energy left in the skin, and any adverse effects are reduced.
