Pico Laser
Pico laser is a type of laser device that delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy, typically in picoseconds range (one trillionth of a second). Pico lasers are highly versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications, including tattoo removal, pigmentation correction (such as melasma and sunspots), acne scar treatment, skin rejuvenation, and even treatment of certain types of skin lesions. The rapid energy delivery of picoseconds lasers effectively breaks down pigment particles or targets specific skin structures while minimizing the risk of thermal damage, resulting in faster treatment sessions and reduced downtime for patients.

FAQs
Q1: How does Pico laser treatment work?
A1: Pico lasers emit laser energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), which breaks down pigment particles or targets specific skin structures with minimal heat damage. This promotes faster results and reduced downtime compared to traditional laser treatments.
Q2: What are the potential risks for Pico laser?
A2: Some potential risks include pain, erythema, and edema, However, these are not severe side effects and usually will vanish within several hours after the treatment.
Q3: How do I prevent such risks?
A3: Although Pico laser is suitable for most people, it can help to consult a doctor and examine your skin condition before receiving a Pico laser treatment. Also, avoid direct sunlight for around 7 to 14 days as UV rays may cause pigment changes to the skin.
Q4: Who is not recommended to undergo the Pico laser treatment?
A4: People who are sensitive to flashing lights, have a history of seizures (epilepsy) or currently have an active skin condition (such as blisters, open wounds or rashes) in the targeted treatment area should not undergo this treatment.
Q5: Are Pico laser treatments painful?
A5: Pico lasers can still cause minor discomfort based on the patient’s pain tolerance. A common description of the sensation is similar to being snapped by a rubber band.
