Description

Pico Laser Treatment

Pico Laser is a leading non-invasive laser technology that utilizes ultra-short pulse durations, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). Unlike traditional lasers that rely primarily on heat (photothermal), Pico technology uses a photomechanical or "photoacoustic" effect. This allows the laser to shatter targeted pigment into tiny, dust-like particles without causing thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The result is a more efficient treatment with minimized downtime and fewer sessions required.

Benefits of Pico Laser

At Endermo, our Pico Laser treatments provide a comprehensive approach to skin health:

  • Safely breaks down melanin and unwanted ink on all skin types.
  • Stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of rhytids (wrinkles), fine lines, and atrophic (pitted) acne scars.
  • Refines skin texture and minimizes the appearance of dilated pores with negligible recovery time.
  • Induces Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) in the dermis, triggering a natural healing response without damaging the skin's surface (epidermis).
  • Effective for difficult-to-treat conditions like Melasma, Nevus of Ota, and multi-colored tattoo removal.

Indications for Treatment

Pigmentation

  • Sunspots, freckles, and lentigines.
  • Melasma.
  • PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema/redness) and PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation/dark marks).
  • Safe for delicate areas like underarms and the bikini line.

Texture Concerns

  • Acne/pitted scars and hypertrophic (raised) scars.
  • Tightens dilated pores for a smoother finish.
  • Helps improve the appearance of stretch marks.

Anti-Aging & Rejuvenation

  • Fine lines and peri-orbital (eye) wrinkles.
  • Supports mild skin tightening on the face and neck.
  • Improves the appearance of dark circles caused by pigmentation.

Specialized Conditions

  • Treatment of benign skin growths.
  • Managing sebum (oil) production, blackheads, and congested skin.

Comparison: Pico Laser vs Conventional Laser

Comparison Aspect Pico Laser Conventional Laser (Q-Switched / CO2)
Laser Speed Ultra-fast (picosecond or trillionths of a second) Operates with longer laser pulses (nanoseconds or billionths of a second)
Treatment Effectiveness Treats skin concerns more effectively in a shorter time Requires more time and multiple treatment sessions
Comfort During Treatment Minimal discomfort Tends to feel more uncomfortable
Downtime Minimal downtime (approximately 1–2 days) Requires longer recovery time, especially with CO2 laser
Redness & Swelling Mild and subsides quickly Skin becomes more sensitive and prone to irritation and infection
Makeup & Activities Makeup can be applied after 24 hours or as advised by the doctor; daily activities can be resumed quickly Makeup can be applied after 24–48 hours
