The laser’s impact on the skin is intense, shattering the problem skin pigment or particles. These are then eliminated naturally by the body.
Pico laser technology is a non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can be used to address most common skin imperfections, including spots caused by sun damage and acne scarring.
No social down time.
Acne Scarring
Unlike surgery, laser acne scar treatment uses ultra-short pulses of laser light to reach deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, treating the support structure.
Then the body’s natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin—the crucial building blocks of normal-looking skin.
It’s a fast and simple procedure that’s easy to tolerate and requires little-to-no downtime.
Melasma
Melanin gives us our skin color. Pigmented lesions including sunspots, age spots, and brown patches, are dark in color because the melanin is concentrated in one area of the skin.
Most pigmented lesions come from sun exposure while some patients are born with them. Hormonal changes can also induce pigment changes in the skin.
