Laser Treatments
Pico Laser?
What is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser represents a revolutionary advancement in laser technology, delivering ultra-short bursts of energy in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). Unlike traditional lasers that rely on photothermal (heat) action, Pico Laser utilises a photoacoustic effect, shattering pigment particles into tiny fragments that the body can naturally eliminate. This innovative technology minimises heat transfer to the surrounding skin, making it a safer and more comfortable option for a wider range of skin types and concerns. It’s highly effective for various aesthetic goals, from stubborn pigmentation to overall skin rejuvenation.
What to Expect?
When you come for your Pico Laser treatment at Venusia Medical Aesthetics Clinic, our certified aesthetic physician will first conduct a thorough skin assessment to customise the treatment parameters to your specific needs. During the procedure, you will feel a sensation often described as light rubber band snaps or a tingling warmth on your skin as the laser energy is delivered. Most patients find the treatment tolerable, especially as it is a quick procedure. We may apply a numbing cream beforehand to enhance your comfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear throughout the session.
Downtime
Pico Laser treatments are known for their minimal to no downtime, making them an ideal “lunchtime” procedure. You might experience slight redness, mild swelling, or a transient darkening of pigmented spots immediately after treatment. These effects are typically mild and usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. You can generally resume your normal activities almost immediately. We will provide specific aftercare instructions, including sun protection, to ensure optimal healing and results.
Duration
A typical Pico Laser treatment session at Venusia Medical Aesthetics Clinic is remarkably efficient, usually lasting approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. While some improvements may be visible after the first session, a series of treatments (often 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart) is generally recommended to achieve optimal and long-lasting results for most concerns.
The Benefits of Pico Laser
The Pico Laser offers a multitude of benefits, making it a highly sought-after treatment at Rexults Clinic:
- Effective Pigmentation Removal: Exceptionally effective in breaking down various types of pigmentation, including sun spots, age spots, freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Superior Tattoo Removal: Its ability to shatter ink particles makes it highly efficient in removing multi-coloured and stubborn tattoos, often requiring fewer sessions than older laser technologies.
- Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin tone, texture, reduced fine lines, and minimised pore size, giving a brighter and more youthful complexion.
- Minimal Downtime: The ultra-short pulse duration means less heat generation and less damage to surrounding skin, resulting in significantly reduced recovery time compared to traditional lasers.
- Suitable for Various Skin Types: Its gentle yet powerful action makes it safe and effective for a broader range of skin tones, including darker complexions, with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Faster Results: Patients often notice improvements more quickly, and fewer total treatment sessions may be required to achieve desired outcomes.
