The pico laser is a medical-grade laser technology. It can treat a wide variety of indications for the skin such as rejuvenation, brightening, pigmentation removal, acne, pore minimisation, and wrinkle reduction.
The Discovery Pico Laser helps with the following conditions:
illumia’s PICO Laser has 4 emission modes, double-wavelength source that emits at both 1064nm and 532nm and a double chamber, allowing it to work in Q-switch AND Photo-thermal mode. Powered by patented Pico-Boost Technology, illumia’s Pico Laser has a peak power of 1.8GW, or 0.8J/450ps, for superb penetration depth and fast treatment time.
Pico technology is based on Selective Photoacoustolysis. Using the speed of sound to pulverise skin pigmentation particles and shatter it into dust fragments. Before the existence of picosecond lasers, the nanosecond laser was used to treat skin conditions such as sun-induced pigmentation melasma, liver spots, freckles, solar lentigo, ephelides and café au lait spots. Picosecond lasers are able to emit lightning fast energy pulses in the picosecond range, at a speed of 1 trillionth of a second.
For those who are looking to revitalise their face. Note: Suitability will be determined after a doctor consultation.
The duration of this treatment is 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area and the condition. The pain experienced is similar to a snap of a rubber band.
For treatment of pigmented lesions, the pico laser treatment may be stronger powered and slightly painful. This can be mitigated with application of topical numbing cream 30 minutes before the treatment. Post-laser, we apply cooling treatments to soothe and calm the skin.
