Pico laser is a revolutionary laser treatment that uses ultra-short pulses of light energy to target and treat acne scars. It works by delivering powerful bursts of light to the affected area, which breaks down damaged tissue and stimulates the growth of healthy new skin cells. The result is smoother, clearer skin, with improved texture, tone, and colour. Pico laser is a safe, quick, and effective way to treat acne scars, and has been proven to provide long-lasting results.

Types of Acne Scar

Acne scars are a common consequence of severe or untreated acne. They can manifest as depressions, raised scars, or dark spots on the skin’s surface, affecting its texture and tone. Acne scars can be emotionally distressing and may lead to decreased self-confidence. At Dr. Ginny Clinic, we recognize the importance of addressing these scars using advanced technology, such as Pico Laser.

The most common type of acne scar is an atrophic scar, which is caused by insufficient collagen production in the skin that necessary to repair areas damaged by acne. Atrophic scars typically appear as depressions in the skin and can range in severity from shallow to deep. They can also take the form of ice pick scars, which are long and narrow, or boxcar scars, which are round or oval depressions with sharp edges.

Keloid scars are another type of acne scar, and they are caused when too much collagen is produced during the healing process. These raised scars are usually red or purple in color and can be quite large. Hypertrophic scars, on the other hand, are raised but not as large as keloid scars.

What Are The Benefits of Pico Laser Treatment For Acne Scars Removal?

The Pico Laser treatment is a noninvasive procedure that works by targeting the deeper layers of skin. It works by delivering short bursts of energy that penetrate the skin to break up scar tissue, while leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged. This quick and effective treatment can reduce the appearance of acne scars in just a few sessions.

The Pico Laser also helps to stimulate collagen production, which helps to improve the skin’s texture. This can result in a more even skin tone and a more youthful appearance. The laser also encourages healthy skin cells to grow, which can help to reduce the appearance of discoloration and visible scars.

The Pico Laser treatment is also gentle, meaning that patients may experience only mild discomfort during the procedure. In addition, the treatment is fast and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

How Is Pico Laser Treatment Different From Other Type Of Lasers?

Transitioning from conventional laser treatments, Pico Laser treatment offers a more precise and powerful alternative. Utilizing ultra-short pulse laser technology, it is able to target cells with ultra-short pulses of energy in trillionths of a second. This allows the laser to focus energy at a very specific point. The advanced precision of Pico Laser treatment makes it a much safer option compared to other type of laser treatments as it minimizes the risk of burning the surrounding skin tissue.

Unlike other laser treatments, Pico Laser treatment is able to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin to target. This process is known as photomechanical ablation, which is the breaking up of cells into tiny pieces that can then be easily removed by the body’s natural healing process. This results in a much quicker and more effective skin rejuvenation.

Pico Laser treatment is also much more gentle on the skin compared to traditional acne scar laser treatments.

The downtime of Pico Laser Treatment

After the procedure, most people can expect some degree of redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. These symptoms typically diminish shortly after the procedure, and any redness should completely disappear within a few hours. 

To maximize results, it is important to take the proper precautions for post-treatment care. Patients should avoid direct sunlight, heavy sweating, and other activities that may irritate the treated area. The use of moisturizers and sunscreen is essential to protect the skin and maintain the desired results.
