How Does Pico Laser Work?

The Pico laser is a non-surgical and non-invasive laser skin treatment that can focus on specific problem areas in multiple areas on the body and not just the face. It is a revolutionary technology that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy (but not heat) to target problem areas, creating an intense impact that shatters the target skin pigment or particles that are easily eliminated by the body. 

As Pico laser delivers intense pulses of energy, it is gentle to the outer layer of skin. Patients only feel mild to no discomfort during treatment as Pico does not ablate or burn off the outer layer of skin. This is a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and with minimal downtime. Your skin will be red for the remainder of the day but will be nearly back to normal the next day.

This helps you steer clear from significant pain or discomfort. At the same time, the procedure delivers stunning results that help you achieve your ideal appearance.

Pico Laser Works Wonders Against Tattoos

Pico laser’s ultra-high specification can achieve the optimal photomechanical effect. This helps with increasing the speed at which the laser treatment shatters tattoo ink particles. Ultimately, this helps to reduce the number of treatments necessary for tattoo removal. This is possible by how pico laser releases high laser energy deep into your skin, which affects tattoo pigments from within instead of the surface. 

This approach of internally breaking down tattoo pigments may sound strenuous. But it does not cause any undue stress to your appearance or your physical comfort. On the contrary, it eliminates any massive side effects, such as intense pain associated with many other tattoo removal approaches. That is why pico laser often stands apart due to its purpose of tattoo removal.

What Can You Expect From a Pico Laser Treatment?

A pico laser treatment is a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and with minimal downtime. You will require three to four treatments about three to four weeks apart. Your skin will be red for the remainder of the day but will be nearly back to normal the next day. The breakdown of pigment induces collagen production for skin rejuvenation and improvement of acne scars. 

It is also important to note that pico laser treatments are done within minutes, while follow-up treatments are performed in at least four-week intervals. Pico lasers have become the new gold standard for treating melasma and pigment. This may be the most powerful laser for pigmentation as more energy can be delivered in very short time intervals. At the same time, the procedure’s targeted approach ensures that only minimal collateral skin damage may occur.

What Conditions Does Pico Laser Treatment Work On?

There is Minimal Downtime Involved With the Process

Traditional laser therapy for aging issues or tattoo removal is often associated with significant downtime. This refers to the period of rest that you need due to the treatment’s side effects, such as discomfort or pain. But with pico laser treatment, you can rest assured that you don’t have to hit a pause on your professional or personal activities for a long time. 

Whether you get the treatment over your face or any other area of your body, you can expect mild to no discomfort. It is common for the skin to seem red for about a day after the treatment. However, this effect typically goes away on its own without causing considerable pain.
