Pico Laser in Singapore

Pico laser treatment is a popular non-invasive procedure for skin rejuvenation in Singapore. This advanced laser technology provides effective solutions for various skin concerns including acne scarring, pigmentation, wrinkles and enlarged pores. It’s fast, safe, and non-invasive, with results backed by hard, scientific evidence.

What is Pico Laser Technology?

Pico Laser delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy in picoseconds, which is trillionths of a second. This allows for a more precise treatment with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. Unlike traditional laser therapies, Pico Laser causes less heat damage and greater comfort.

It works by shattering pigment particles into ultra-fine fragments that can be easilyphagocytosed and eliminated from the body. This advanced selectivity enables effective removal of tattoos, pigmented lesions, sun damage and post-acne marks. It delivers noticeable, permanent results in fewer sessions than comparable options and is safe, requires minimal downtime, and can be used across the entire face and body.

How Does Pico Laser Works?

Pico Laser technology allows for the quick, effective, highly selective treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoos (in treatable colors). This laser also enhances elastin production in the skin, resulting in a softer, fuller, more youthful complexion.

Laser removal of pigmented lesions works by destroying the pigment in the skin without the need for excision. This process is completed in 3 simple steps. The laser works by targeting the brown pigment present in the skin of these spots. This pigment absorbs the laser’s energy and becomes scattered into tiny particles, instead of heat damage to the skin.

The fragmented particles can now be easily identified and removed from the body through the natural wound healing and exfoliation process. This leads to an even skin tone and texture over repeated sessions.

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

While harmless, conditions like melasma, sun spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can still affect one’s confidence and self-esteem. Traditional treatments often show limited success for persistent pigmentation issues.

Pico Laser utilises ultra-short picosecond pulses that precisely target melanin in the skin. The concentrated energy breaks down pigment particles without affecting the surrounding tissue.

During treatment, the certified laser specialist will examine the discolored areas and determine the appropriate settings. Rapid pulses of light energy are delivered to the melanin deposits which shatter the pigment particles from within. This spares the epidermis from any thermal damage. The minimized fragments can now be naturally sloughed off through skin renewal.

Multiple sessions spaced 4 weeks apart may be required depending on the extent and depth of pigmentation. However, pico laser offers noticeable fading of brown spots after the very first session for most patients.

With its high selectivity and minimal side effects, Pico Laser effectively clears stubborn skin discolorations. It helps restore an even, luminous complexion free of unsightly pigmentation marks.

Pico Laser for Acne Scarring

Stubborn acne scars like box scars, icepick scars and rolling scars can persist for years after breakouts subside. Pico Laser effectively minimizes these indented and raised scars through its precise picosecond technology.

Rapid light pulses generate controlled thermal injury at a shallow depth. This stimulates collagen regeneration from within for natural scar revision.

Minimal downtime and side effects allow you to resume regular activities immediately. A series of Pico Laser sessions, 4 weeks apart, can progressively reduces acne scars for smooth, clear skin.

Pico Laser for Tattoo Removal

While it takes multiple sessions, this precise technology safely breaks down tattoo ink over time.

During treatment, the specialist evaluates your tattoo and chooses optimal settings. Rapid light pulses shatter ink particles from within without harming skin. Multiple treatments spaced 4 weeks apart slowly lift and lighten the tattoo. 

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Pico laser is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort comparable to rubber band snaps. Topical numbing cream can be applied for enhanced comfort during the short 15-30min procedure.

Pico laser has virtually no downtime. Minimal sensitivity, flaking, mild redness or swelling may occur but you can usually go back to work after the session.

The number of Pico laser sessions required typically varies depending on the condition being treated:

Acne Scarring: Most acne scarring cases see significant improvement after 3-5 sessions. Deeper box scars orrolling scars may require 6 or more treatments.

Pigmentation: 3-6 sessions are generally sufficient to clear issues like melasma, sun spots and dark marks. Stubborn cases may need occasional monthly maintenance.

Wrinkles & Fine Lines: A package of 6 sessions delivers optimal collagen stimulation and skin tightening results for anti-aging.

Tattoo Removal: The number of sessions depends on tattoo size and colours. Most responsive black tattoos clear in 4-8 sessions while colorful designs can take longer.

The number and frequency of sessions can be customized based on individual response and progress assessment. Deeper issues typically require additional treatments for complete resolution.
