Home »
Laser Rejuvenation, is a non-invasive laser treatment of face that utilizes concentrated beams of light to address various skin concerns. This innovative technique works by targeting specific skin layers, stimulating collagen production, and promoting cellular renewal. Resulting a refreshed and revitalized complexion that radiates youthful beauty.
Benefits Of Pico Laser Rejuvenation
This laser treatment of face offers a plethora of benefits that make it an attractive option for those seeking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.
From reducing fine lines and wrinkles to erasing age spots and acne scars, laser treatments can address a wide range of skin imperfections.
By harnessing the power of light, this remarkable procedure can help you achieve the following benefits:
Smooth and youthful complexion
Reduce oil and acne
Treat age spots and sun damage
Minimise acne scars and pores
Improve uneven skin tone
Control Melasma
What Is Laser?
Light travels in waves consisting of different wavelengths, e.g. visible light around us has a wavelength range of 400-750 nm. If you break down the range of wavelength, you will see multiple wavelengths represented by different colors (the phenomenon of rainbow).
Different from normal day light (unfiltered), laser travels in a single wavelength (after filtration), which will be absorbed specifically by its target (chromophore). In other words, laser light will only be absorbed by its chromophore. There are 3 main chromophores in the skin namely: melanin, hemoglobin and water.
Melanin
Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin, hair and eyes their colours. Sun exposure and hormonal changes increase the melanin production in the skin, leading to pigmentation.
Targeting melanin chromophore, laser is being absorbed and the heat from the laser ‘melts’ the melanin/pigment.
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is a component of blood, which contributes to facial flushing, fine capillaries and certain birthmarks.
Laser targeting hemoglobin chromophore will coagulate small blood vessels and reduce the unwanted facial redness.
Water
Water is the main component of skin cell and tissue. Laser that targets water chromophore (e.g. CO2 laser) can induce destruction of scar tissues with the aim of rebuilding new skin cells.
This is effective in treating acne scars and large pores.
PICO Laser 皮秒雷射
Pico laser, short for picosecond laser, is an laser technology designed for various dermatological and aesthetic applications.
What sets pico lasers apart is their ability to deliver laser pulses in picoseconds, which is significantly shorter than traditional lasers.
This ultra-short pulse duration allows for precise targeting of pigmented lesions, tattoos, and skin imperfections with minimal heat exposure to the surrounding tissues.
Pico lasers are renowned for their effectiveness in breaking down pigmentation, including stubborn tattoo ink, as well as stimulating collagen production to address concerns like fine lines and wrinkles.
The rapid delivery of energy in picoseconds enhances the overall safety of the treatment, reducing the risk of adverse effects and making it suitable for a broader range of skin types.
Pico laser technology has revolutionized the field of aesthetic dermatology, offering patients quicker and more efficient solutions for skin rejuvenation and pigment-related concerns.
What Can PICO Laser Treat?
Rejuvenation for Skin Tone & Pigmentation Removal
Pico laser technology uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter and eliminate pigmentation that causes dark circles and sun spots, while also stimulating collagen to refresh and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes.
Resurfacing for Acne Scars & Large Pores
Pico laser technology can safely and effectively resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores by targeting pigmentation and promoting new collagen formation through non-invasive picosecond pulses.
Tattoo Removal
Pico laser technology offers a fast, efficient method for removing unwanted tattoos by using ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter tattoo pigment particles, gradually fading them away without damaging the surrounding skin.
PICO Rejuvenation & Pigmentation Removal
Due to its high speed and ultra-short pulse duration of the laser shock wave, it shatters the target pigment while minimizing the conversion of energy into heat, which subsequently reduces the risk of overheating (pigment may flare up under heat).
It also allows a higher volume of laser shots to be fired in a given time which delivers a more effective treatment per session.
FAQ for Laser Rejuvenation
Will laser cause skin thinning?
No. Laser energy is being converted into heat in the skin which will not cause skin peeling or thinning. Moreover, outer skin layer regenerates continuously and sheds every 30-40 days.
How frequent should I do laser?
Generally, once a month is adequate. Some stubborn pigment condition such as melasma may require more frequent treatments e.g. every 2 weeks with a lower energy setting.
There are many brands of Pico lasers, which one to choose?
All brands of Pico machine have similar speed of laser pulse. What differ among them are the peak power and the wavelength. Pico Plus is superior because it has one of highest peak power (1.8 GW) with 4 wavelengths (532, 595, 660, 1064 nm), which can treat a wide variety of skin related problems.
Is there any downtime?
No, there is no downtime for Pico rejuvenation. Temporary redness will disappear within an hour and you can go back to office or resume exercise on the same day.
What is the difference between Laser and IPL?
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) uses broadband light pulses consisting of a range of wavelengths (500-1200 nm), whereas laser uses single wavelength. Laser is more target specific whereas IPL covers all layers of skin. IPL is useful for general toning and rejuvenation whereas laser is safer in darker skin, more efficient in treating pigments, tattoos and scars.
How many treatments will I need for hair removal?
For Hair Removal, most patients need at least 5 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results.
How long before I see results?
Depending on the results that you’re looking to achieve, our doctor will work with you to determine the number of treatments you will need.
