Pico Laser

Pico Laser is an advanced treatment that targets a variety of skin concerns with minimal downtime. Whether you’re looking to reduce hyperpigmentation or improve overall skin tone, Pico Laser delivers effective, long-lasting results with minimal discomfort. At 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery, we offer customized Pico Laser treatments to help you achieve clearer, more youthful-looking skin.

What is Pico Laser Technology? 

Pico Laser is a non-invasive laser technology that uses ultra-fast pulses (measured in picoseconds) to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen production. Unlike other laser treatments that rely on heat, Pico Laser uses a photomechanical effect to target unwanted pigmentation and imperfections while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This makes it a safer and more comfortable option for various skin types and concerns, including:

• Pigmentation Issues: Pico Laser lightens and removes unwanted freckles caused by sun exposure while targeting sunspots and age spots to create a more even skin tone. Additionally, it effectively treats darker skin tones caused by acne or skin injuries.
• Acne Scar Improvement: For individuals dealing with acne scars, Pico Laser stimulates collagen remodeling, which helps smooth out skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.
• Other Skin Concerns: In addition to treating pigmentation and acne scars, Pico Laser is highly effective for managing melasma. Unlike traditional lasers, Pico Laser delivers ultra-short pulses that break down pigment without generating excessive heat, reducing the risk of inflammation and worsening pigmentation. This makes it a safe and effective option for treating melasma while promoting a more even skin tone.

Who is a Candidate?

Pico Laser candidacy includes those looking to lighten or remove unwanted freckles, sunspots, or melasma for a more even complexion.Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about their results, and be committed to following proper aftercare for optimal outcomes.

The Pico Laser Procedure

During the procedure, a handheld device delivers picosecond pulses to the targeted area. The picosecond laser selectively destroys pigmentation while stimulating collagen production. The treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort, and most patients describe it as a mild tingling sensation. Pico Laser energy is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as its ultra-fast pulses minimize heat exposure, reducing the risk of irritation or damage to surrounding tissue.

Recovery

Recovery after Pico Laser treatment is simple and requires minimal downtime. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect their skin. Keeping the skin well-hydrated and following a recommended skincare routine can help enhance healing and achieve better results. Mild redness may occur immediately after treatment but typically subsides within 24 hours, allowing patients to resume their normal activities quickly.
