Pros and cons of

Infrared Pico Laser Treatment

Pros

Before undergoing any type of treatment, it is extremely important to research the pros and cons that come with the treatment and to talk to your doctor to see if you’re a good candidate for it.

With Pico laser treatment, there is very little risk associated with the procedure. There is practically no recovery or downtime required after a session, so patients may continue with their day-to-day activities following treatment.

The procedure has a high rate of efficacy and is very gentle to the external layers of the skin, so those with sensitive skin should not be discouraged from trying or considering Pico laser treatment. The duration of the procedure itself is quick, with each session only lasting about thirty minutes.

Cons

For cons, be mindful that it may take several sessions to achieve your desired results. Depending on the patient and the skin issue being treated, your doctor may recommend repeated sessions from between five to ten sessions with an interval of about three to four weeks in between to give the skin time to heal.

Pico laser treatment is also more costly than other traditional laser treatments and can be even more so depending on where you live. It’s also important to consider that some people with certain skin conditions may not be good candidates for this treatment. Please make sure to disclose any skin conditions that you might have to your doctor before going through with the treatment.

How it works:

Infrared Pico Laser Treatment

Infrared Pico laser treatment is performed with the titular Pico laser, which sends out beams of energy in super quick bursts that destroy any skin imperfections in the chosen area. The body will then naturally heal on its own, replacing the skin damaged by the Pico laser with a new, pristine layer of skin. The laser does not produce any heat and is sent out in short bursts, making the procedure safe and painless for the patient. Pico laser is named after the “picosecond” which is a unit of time that’s one trillion times faster than one second, referring to how fast the laser’s bursts are.

In the cases of acne scarring, the Pico laser will first induce a thermal injury on the affected area with acne scars. The skin damaged by the laser is then left on its own to heal through the innate collagen production of our bodies. Given enough time and with repeated sessions, the skin is then rejuvenated and restored without any skin imperfections.

For tattoo removal, Infrared Pico laser treatment is best suited for tattoos with black and grey ink. More color ink pigments will be harder to remove and require more sessions to fully remove the tattoo pigments.

When it comes to skin discoloration issues, the strength and intensity of the Pico laser can be adjusted to fit your needs. With the appropriate adjustments, your medical professional can amend any superficial pigmentation.

Since the infrared Pico laser sends out beams of light in short bursts and without producing any heat, the procedure is safe enough to be used on any part of the body with skin imperfections. You may experience sensitivity and slight discomfort in the targeted area, but this should go away in a couple of hours. With no recovery time required, patients can return to their day-to-day routine with no issues. Depending on the patient and their skin condition, it may take several sessions to accomplish optimal results. Each session can last from five minutes up to thirty minutes.

Preparation before

Infrared Pico Laser Treatment

Pre - treatment

Sun protection should be the main priority more than ever before and after the treatment. It would be best to avoid exposure to the sun altogether at least 4 weeks before the treatment and to remember to wear the appropriate amount of sunscreen, as well as use physical barriers like umbrellas, hats, visors, etc. as often as possible.

Medications and supplements like vitamin e also need to be stopped unless otherwise approved by your doctor. Skin care products with stronger active ingredients that can increase the skin’s photosensitivity like retinol, vitamin c, and chemical exfoliants should also be avoided in the meantime to avoid risk of skin inflammation.

On the actual day of the treatment, come in with a bare face free from moisturizers, makeup, and other products.

Recovery after

Infrared Pico Laser Treatment

Post - treatment

Immediately after the infrared Pico laser treatment, you may experience some slight swelling and redness in the targeted areas. This is no cause for worry, as the pain usually goes away after a couple of hours. In some cases such as with skin discoloration, you will usually achieve your desired results after just one session. However, with more severe skin complications, your mileage may vary. It may take up to five sessions to altogether remove the skin imperfections, but it is best to consult with your medical professional to manage your expectations.

Although infrared Pico laser treatment is extremely safe, there are still some recommended post-operation practices to consider. Extensive exposure of the targeted area to the sun is discouraged, and it is not recommended to put any makeup or oils on the targeted area as this may disrupt the natural healing and recovery of the skin. If the irritation of the targeted area is too much, kindly avoid scratching or rubbing the affected area. Instead, wash the area with clean water to help ease the discomfort.

FAQs:

Infrared Pico Laser Treatment

How does it work?

With Infrared Pico Laser technology, short bursts of light are fired at the area with skin imperfections. After several sessions, collagen production is then stimulated by the body. Given enough time to heal, the skin is restored to a more youthful and pristine state.

‍

Will the procedure be painful?

As the Pico laser does not produce any heat, the procedure is safe and painless. Should you feel some discomfort, your medical professional may provide you with a numbing ointment to help ease the pain.

‍

How should I prepare for the treatment?

Before undergoing Pico Laser treatment, your doctor may instruct you to avoid taking any medications a couple of weeks before the operation. Kindly avoid overexposure to lights before undergoing the procedure. On the actual day of the treatment, avoid using moisturizers, lotions, or makeup on the area to be treated.

‍

What is the difference between Pico Laser vs fractional CO2 Laser?

The main difference between a Pico Laser vs a fractional CO2 laser is the steps they take in achieving the desired result. A Pico laser produces strong lasers at short intervals, which are ideal for the removal of tattoos with grey or black ink. A fractional CO2 laser targets the most external layer of the skin, which encourages the shedding of the surface layer of skin affected by scarring. This laser treatment is ideal for deep acne scarring.

‍

What is the most significant difference between Pico and Q-switched laser?

The most significant difference between a Pico laser and a Q-switched laser is their speed. Infrared Pico laser treatments take less time to treat skin imperfections and have a shorter recovery time than patients who opt for Q-switched laser treatments.
