What is Picosecond Laser?

Picosecond laser is a very popular method of whitening and rejuvenating the skin in recent years. The principle is to use a laser of a certain wavelength to irradiate the surface of the skin. The pulse width of this laser is in the picosecond level. The target site is the pigment spots on the surface of the skin. It targets the pigment particles on the surface of the skin, and destroys the melanin particles through high energy to achieve the purpose of lightening the spots. Picosecond laser is widely used. Some patients who have skin rejuvenation and freckle removal requirements will use the method of picosecond laser. The effect of picosecond laser treatment for freckle removal is very significant, because the target site is the pigment particles or pigment cells in the skin, and the site of destruction is the pigment particles, so there will be no scars after treatment. Picosecond laser also has certain operation methods and advantages. Below, I will introduce the relevant knowledge of picosecond laser in detail!

Introduction to picosecond laser

1. Try to avoid sun exposure three weeks before receiving laser freckle treatment to avoid affecting the treatment effect. Eat less greasy and spicy food and keep a happy mood. Women avoid menstruation.

2. After laser treatment, the skin will be red and swollen and slightly bleeding due to the energy irradiation. It will gradually heal and produce scabs in about a day. The scabs will fall off naturally in about 3 to 5 days and will be pink. During this process, pay attention to keep clean and avoid sun exposure, otherwise the skin will become darker.

What are the advantages of picosecond laser?

Improve skin quality, whiten skin, and eliminate fine wrinkles. In foreign clinical trials, the risk is almost zero. Spot removal no longer requires frequent treatments and the risk of darkening like traditional lasers.

The above is a detailed introduction to picosecond lasers. In fact, as a common laser surgery, picosecond lasers have great advantages. For the treatment, it is relatively safe and has fewer side effects. Therefore, those who seek beauty can try this method!
