Pico Laser: Latest Treatment for Acne Scars, Tattoos, Pores, and Wrinkles

One of the latest technological advancements in aesthetic medicine industry is probably the creation of Pico Laser . They are so named because they emit laser energy at super short pulses, at 1 x 10 -12  , or  0.000 000 000 001 seconds.   The Pico Laser produces energy 10 times shorter than the traditional Q-switched Nd Yag lasers, at 400-750 picoseconds instead of 5-10 nanoseconds. This allows the laser to   produce a photo-mechanical rather than photo-thermal effect, to more efficiently shatter pigmentation and tattoo ink, without the associated side effects of Q-switched Nd Yag laser. In particular, the PicoSure Laser was the first picosecond device to become commercially available. It emits red light at 755nm, and has recived US FDA approval for treatment of pigmentation, acne scars and tattoos.  PicoSure Laser: More than just a pigment-reducing laser When PicoSure Laser was first launched in the market, it was created mostly as a pigment-reducing laser. However, the

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
