PicoLaser MLA

Acne scars are a reminder of what your skin has gone through following the healing of a blemish. Scars develop due to inflammation underneath the skin, which then causes trauma to the tissue. This can lead to tissue loss, creating pits or indentations in the skin surface. There are also cases where raised scars may appear when there is too much collagen over the area.

Although scarring can be difficult to treat, there are innovative treatments that can improve their appearance, as well as address related skin conditions. Pico Laser’s HEXA MLA (Micro Lens Array) handpiece is a fractional system that can treat different types of acne scarring and can be used for overall skin rejuvenation.
PicoLaser MLA

How does the HEXA MLA work?

HEXA MLA (Micro Lens Array) is an extension of the Pico Laser, an Nd:YAG laser used for treating tattoo and pigmented lesions. This handpiece features multiple spot sizes that enable gentle and effective treatments for enlarged pores, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.

HEXA MLA delivers high-power density in the center of each dot. Compared to conventional ablative fractional lasers which get rid of the entire epidermis, the HEXA MLA handpiece leaves the surface of the skin intact, while producing skin rejuvenating effects. It does not harm healthy tissue, which then reduces downtime or recovery period.

Replacing traditional subcision for acne scarring

Pico Laser with the HEXA MLA can help replace aggressive scar treatments such as subcision. It can destroy scar tissues in the deep dermis and noticeably lift depressed scars without causing too much pain or discomfort. And compared to subcision (which only works for depressed acne scars), the HEXA MLA handpiece can address related skin concerns and be used for overall skin rejuvenation.

Pico Laser with HEXA MLA treatment (in comparison to subcision) is/has:

  • Less painful
  • Quick healing
  • Fast recovery/minimal downtime
  • Low risk or incidence of hypertrophic formation

When used together, it creates an effect called Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) plasma cavitation. This creates bubbles under the skin, which can increase collagen production and tackle scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The high peak power with short pulse duration allows efficient treatment for various skin conditions and skin rejuvenation.
The HEXA MLA handpiece can be used for:

  • Acne scar treatment
  • Pore tightening
  • Skin resurfacing
  • Fine lines and wrinkles improvement
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Skin rejuvenation

Why combine Pico Laser with HEXA MLA

The HEXA technology focuses on skin rejuvenation, which includes the improvement of fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture. It helps optimize the capabilities of the Pico Laser, which makes it ideal for tackling a range of skin issues. Pico with HEXA MLA can be used for:

  • Scarring (ice pick, round, box, rolling)
  • Skin rejuvenation (uneven skin tone, skin texture, fine wrinkles, enlarged pores)
  • Laser toning
  • Minimum effect on surrounding tissue
  • Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) provides advancement in skin rejuvenation

How does it fare against subcision and ablative laser treatments?

Unlike subcision, Pico with HEXA MLA does not require incision to treat the acne scar tissue. This means less discomfort with fast recovery and minimal chance of adverse side effects. And compared to traditional fractional ablative treatments, Pico with HEXA MLA does not affect the healthy tissue and typically requires about two days to recover.
It is also worth noting that the Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) Plasma Cavitation uses minimal heat, translating to treatment and results with reduced discomfort, less redness, and minimal swelling. This then leads to firmer and rejuvenated skin with a fresher and more radiant complexion.
