Fading dark spots can take time, especially if the pigmentation is a few shades darker than your natural complexion. The usual period is between 6 and 12 months, but there are also cases where it will take longer. Bad skin habits like sun exposure, scrubbing the skin, and picking blemishes can also contribute to a longer fading process. If you’ve been dealing with dark spots longer than you can remember, you might want to try Picolaser Treatment. If you’ve been dealing with dark spots longer than you can remember, you might want to try Picolaser. Instead of using a chemical solution to treat the skin, Picolaser delivers laser energy to break down pigments into smaller particles. These are gradually removed over time, which then fades or lightens the discoloration.
Let’s get to know Picolaser and the wonders it can do for your skin.
Picolaser is an Nd:YAG picosecond laser device designed for removing tattoo ink and pigmented lesions. This US FDA-approved and CE-marked laser system uses higher peak power but with shorter pulse duration to shatter pigments and ink colours. This means less heat delivered to the skin and less risk of injury.
The laser system also has the HEXA MLA (Micro Lens Array) handpiece. This is a fractional system device that can replace traditional subcision or aggressive scar treatments. Also, the HEXA MLA can destroy scar tissues and help lift depressed or indented scarring significantly.
As previously mentioned, Picolaser delivers laser energy into the skin, which is then absorbed by the pigment. The heat generated by the laser shatters the pigmentation into smaller or microscopic particles. Your body’s immune system targets and attacks the broken-down pigments, removing them naturally and efficiently over time.
You may also be glad to know that Picolaser helps the body stimulate new collagen. This is the reason why the laser system can also be used for overall skin rejuvenation. It can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, as well as improve skin tone and texture.
Apart from the fact that Picolaser is FDA-cleared and CE-marked, it also delivers shorter bursts of energy that can penetrate deeper. It has more photomechanical effect on the skin, but less photothermal effects. This only means enhanced precision and better results with fewer treatments and almost no side effects.
Picolaser can also treat all skin types and a range of skin imperfections. At Cutis Medical Laser Clinics in Singapore, we use this laser system to improve or treat the following concerns:
