PicoSure Laser: Latest Laser Treatment for Everlasting Youth

The technology in cosmetic medicine changes very quickly, very much like the smartphone market. Just less than three years ago, Q-switched Nd: YAG Spectra laser was the gold standard for treating a wide variety of skin conditions such as pigments, melasma, and acne. In addition, the laser was an effective machine for minimising pores and breaking down tattoo pigments. 

Even though doctors could achieve relatively good results with a Q-switched laser, people generally felt that the downtime was long.

How does Q-switched laser work?


Q-switched laser works by ablating the superficial layer of the skin and at the same time, stimulate the new collagen production for skin rejuvenation. The wavelengths target both superficial and deep pigmentation.

Q-switched lasers traditionally rely on photothermal energy, delivering heat to the pigments and surrounding tissue. 

Pico laser: Newest technology for younger-looking skin

Pico Laser is the talk of the town, promising its ability to achieve even better results than Q-switched lasers in all aspects. 

It is a highly touted non-ablative laser treatment that yields excellent results for tattoo removal, pigmentation remove, acne scar treatment, and skin rejuvenation and skin brightening. 

It is a new generation laser that delivers ultrashort laser pulses in picoseconds, unlike traditional Q-switched lasers that deliver laser pulses in nanoseconds. In effect, this means that the laser pulses from Pico Lasers remain on the skin 100 times shorter than Q-switched lasers. In the same treatment time, more laser shots can also be delivered into the dermis.

The PicoSure difference


PicoSure is one of the leading Pico lasers in Singapore. What makes PicoSure stand out from the competition is that it utilizes a 755nm wavelength that specifically targets melanin over hemoglobin. This means that PicoSure is ideal for treating pigmentary conditions with minimal collateral damage.

The 755nm energy relies very little on the photothermal action of the long-pulsed machine, as it relies mainly on the photomechanical impact. Thermal damage to the skin is minimal, yet it does not compromise on the efficacy of the treatment outcome.

In addition, the 755nm wavelength is able to break down tattoo inks that are notoriously difficult to get rid of, such as black, blue, and green. 

PicoSure Laser is markedly different from the rest of the Pico Laser because of its unique patented Focus Lens Array. The Focus Lens Array uses a diffractive lens to rejuvenate the skin with virtually no downtime. 

The unique mechanism of action shatters the stubborn pigments under the skin by creating laser-induced optical breakdown in the epidermis without damaging the skin surface. They create intra-epidermal cavities and generate pressure waves that impact surrounding cells, signaling the skin to induce an inflammatory response to begin the healing process.

After a few sessions, patients will be able to observe improvements in the skin texture with visible brightening of the skin. The stimulation of collagen and elastin in the skin reduces the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Why Some People Never Seem to Age

“Aging is not an option, not for anyone. It is how gracefully we handle the process and how lucky we are, as the process handles us,” said Cindy Mcdonald. Some lucky people don't seem to age a day, whereas most of us either look our age or look older than we actually are. The ravages of time definitely did not do any damage to superstars like Halle Berry. Googling a photo of Halle Berry shows you that time doesn't seem to have any effect on her. So do Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler, and Elijah Wood, who seem to go against the expectations of how people should grow old. Although it is true that some people are luckier as compared to the rest of us with respect to aging, most people who don’t look their age have gone the extra mile to delay signs of aging. With advances in anti-aging medicine, doctors are able to slow down the aging process with remarkable results, and minimal downtime.  What Happens When We Age? In addition to intrinsic aging, many factors are at p

How To Get Rid of Eye Bags Without Surgery

People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Our eyes don’t lie. They show the truth, no matter what situation we are in. The eyes are often one of the first facial features we look at when we meet people for the first time. It can be particularly embarrassing for people who don't look after their eyes, especially if dark eye circles and eye bags become visible to others.  The skin around the eyes are extremely thin. With very little collagen and elastin fibers around the eyes, aging often occurs around the eyes first. First signs of aging typically occurs in the mid 20’s. This happens when the skin around the eyes becomes so loose that it hangs and creates folds around the eyes. Sun exposure remains one of the leading causes of aging around the eyes. Exposure to the ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) can cause serious damage to the skin. UVB rays are known to break down the healthy DNA in your body. On the other hand, UVA rays penetrate deeply

Doctor's Guide to Types of Scars and Effective Treatment Methods

Our skin weights about 8 pounds, covering a surface area of about 22 square feet. Most of us take our skin for granted but very few people know its importance in keeping us alive. Our skin is waterproof, insulating us from extreme weather conditions, and keeping out pollutants and harmful chemicals out of our body.  The skin is also very vulnerable because it covers our whole body, shielding us from the harsh conditions. A small injury or trauma can make a big difference in how it looks, leaving unsightly scars that can be etched on the skin for life. Throughout our lives, our skin is subject to injuries, trauma, and acne. Most people are affected by acne scarring because acne scars on the face can be unsightly.   The truth is that these scars will never completely go away.
