What can Pico laser be used to treat?

Pico laser can be used to treat a huge variety of skin conditions and imperfections. The most common include discoloration, scarring, and tattoo removal.

Pico laser for skin discoloration

Although harmless, birthmarks, melasma, sun damage, and other skin discolorations can be a cause of concern among men and women alike. Discoloration can also be a challenge to remove with conventional treatments. Pico laser may be just the solution.

An innovative technology, a Picosecond laser can minimize inflammatory pigmentation. Practitioners can target specific areas and small skin particles, reducing the risk of thermal damage. What’s more, Pico lasers can be adjusted to produce a range of wavelengths and fitted with a variety of applicators to target and remove superficial pigmentation.

The best part: Pico laser technology is strong and effective enough to produce noticeable results in just one session. It’s safe, too, making it a popular choice among those with sensitive skin.

Pico laser for acne scarring

Acne scarring can be extremely stubborn, often lasting for years and years and resisting other effective treatment protocols.

Pico laser treatments for acne scarring work like this:

· The laser creates thermal injury on a target area

· The injured skin triggers the body’s natural healing process

· Collagen production is stimulated, repairing and remodeling the skin

The Pico laser has proven its ability to tackle scars in a scientific setting. In one study, participants underwent six laser treatments targeting acne scars on the face. All were satisfied with the results. If pain is a concern, it’s also worth noting that the patients were also asked to give an objective pain score for each treatment. The mean was 2.83 out of ten.

Pico laser for tattoo removal

Pico laser treatments can also be used to remove unwanted tattoos from anywhere across the body. The technology’s high specification helps increase the speed at which the device shatters the tattoo pigments, meaning fewer treatments are required to achieve the desired result.

While Pico lasers can be effective, no laser tattoo removal can strip the skin of all colored ink pigments. Black and grey ink is the easiest to remove, closely followed by dark green. Yellow, purple, and fluorescent hues are the most difficult to remove.
