Picosecond pulsed laser technology is among the newest laser skin resurfacing technologies on the market. A leader in laser skin resurfacing therapies. For patients interested in tattoo removal, wrinkle reversal or acne scar remedies, picosecond laser skin rejuvenation is likely a smart choice. Bestview Laser is a China picosecond laser 1064nm machine manufacturer.

Picosecond laser skin rejuvenation is FDA-approved for laser treatment of pigment—most notably, tattoos. Picosecond technology refers to the rate at which laser energy is delivered to the skin. In this case, a laser beam at a specified energy level is delivered within a picosecond (one trillionth of a second). This is an extremely rapid rate of laser beam delivery which essentially remodels the skin and triggers an intense collagen production response. The best part of picosecond laser skin rejuvenation is the limited downtime and is safe for all skin types. Patients only experience a few hours of pink, sensitive skin after treatment. The strength and precision of the Picosecond laser make it possible to achieve optimum outcomes in fewer sessions—saving patients time and money while delivering amazing results.

Emerging Option for Tattoo Removal

We all have things in our past we’d like to erase. For many of us, this includes one or more tattoos. Luckily, picosecond laser tattoo removal machine makes it possible to remove body ink faster and more effectively than ever before. If you are considering laser tattoo removal, it is important to keep in mind that not all lasers for tattoo removal are created equally. The colors of your tattoo matter, as well as how deep the ink is embedded. Not all tattoo removal devices have the wavelengths that can target the full spectrum of pigment colors. Removing light blue and green pigments are notoriously difficult. Picosecond laser can effectively treat all tattoo colors and do so precisely and evenly—reducing the discomfort and recovery time often associated with laser tattoo removal.

Improve Acne Scarring

Effective treatment of acne scars remains a major challenge, but picosecond laser therapy makes it easier. We know how psychologically debilitating acne scars and pockmarks can be for our patients, which is why we are excited to offer picosecond laser therapy to help reduce the appearance of acne scars, and in some cases, erase them completely. Picosecond laser uses revolutionary technology to trigger the production of new skin cells that will replace the older scar tissues. As new skin cells form, acne scars and pockmarks will gradually fade away as the damaged tissues are naturally replaced. This is different from the typical treatment for acne scarring, which is a fractional ablative laser (although we have this option as well). These lasers are rougher on the skin and work by removing layers of skin to even out its tone, which can take up to a month to heal. The picosecond laser does not remove parts of the skin and thus results in a faster, less painful healing process. For patients who are unable to take time off from work for healing, the picosecond laser may be a better option. Patients who undergo picosecond laser therapy for acne scars will experience very little, if any downtime or discomfort, and depending on the severity of scarring, multiple appointments may be recommended.

Wrinkle Reversal

Picosecond laser is a relatively painless procedure that does not require any downtime. It works to reverse wrinkles in two ways. First, it drives vigorous collagen remodeling due to the effect of the laser on the skin and the ablation of tissue. Second, it creates microscopic holes in the skin that do not immediately close, which allows cosmeceuticals, vitamins, growth factors or other topical compounds to penetrate deep into the dermis. Picosecond laser therapy treatments are completely customizable based on your goals. You can opt to receive treatment more gently over the course of multiple sessions, or for faster results, you may choose to receive fewer, more aggressive treatments. Either choice will still result in rapid healing and low downtime.

What Makes Picosecond Lasers So Unique?

Most lasers used for cosmetic treatments work roughly the same way: the device pushes energy waves deep into the skin to promote healing and boost collagen production. However, picosecond laser treatment is a little bit different. This laser uses high energy instead of heat to destroy skin discolorations, while promoting the production of elastin and collagen. When the body produces a greater quantity of these proteins, it results in firmer skin, improved skin texture, and greater smoothness. This laser gets its name from the time metric “picosecond,” which is one trillionth of a second, because the laser delivers energy in ultra-short bursts. Because of the speed of the energy pulses, picosecond laser treatment is considered one of the most gentle laser treatments on the market. It is also one of the fastest. You could pop in for an appointment the way you would for a mani/pedi and be out in half the time!

One benefit of not using heat in a laser treatment is that the device does not damage the surrounding skin. This means that you will have a significantly shorter recovery period and that you will be able to do things like wear makeup and go out in the sun immediately, without fear of hurting your results. The picosecond laser is also unique because it is one of the few lasers that has been proven to be safe and effective for treating all skin types and skin tones.

In the past, darker skinned patients with melasma, acne, or wrinkles would have to opt for non-laser options like chemical peels or RF microneedling. Previous versions of laser treatments would damage dark skin because heat on pigment-prone skin only results in inflammation and worsened dark spots. Because picosecond laser treatment uses energy, rather than heat to penetrate the skin, it will not damage darker skin tones.

Benefits of Picosecond Laser Treatment 

There are many types of cosmetic laser treatments, one of which is the fractional CO2 laser. The CO2 laser is designed for resurfacing, which promotes your body’s natural healing by creating a small amount of damage to the surface of the skin. While many patients have been satisfied with their CO2 laser results, this treatment can be less than desirable for other patients because of the discomfort and the longer recovery time.

Whereas the CO2 laser requires up to 1 week of downtime, no makeup for 1-2 weeks, no sun exposure, and post-treatment redness, the picosecond laser does not. Because this laser treatment does not damage the surrounding skin, it comes with almost no downtime – usually 1-2 days maximum – less redness and swelling, and allows you to wear makeup soon after. The picosecond laser is also less uncomfortable than other laser treatments, in some cases, patients may not even require topical numbing cream.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Treatments

#How Many Treatments Will you Need Before you See Results?

The number of treatments will depend on your unique cosmetic concerns. The best way to get an estimate of how many sessions you will need is to schedule a consultation. On average, most patients get between 3 and 6 sessions; however, some patients see their desired results after only a single treatment. People with wide-ranging cosmetic concerns or who are looking to treat large areas of their body may require up to 6 sessions.

Dermatologist recommends scheduling laser sessions 2-4 weeks apart. This interval gives your skin time to completely recover, it also allows you to see your initial results and decide where you want to go from there. Out of caution, it is recommended that patients with darker skin tones do 4 to 8 week intervals between treatments. This allows both you and your doctor to evaluate the success of the procedure and address the needs of your unique and beautiful skin tone.

The good news is that picosecond laser treatments are very fast and efficient. The laser device gives off ultrafast energy bursts that are 1,000 times more powerful than other lasers. Depending on the area being treated, it usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes for the procedure. That is less than the time it takes to get a perm.

#Does It Hurt? Should Be Worried?

You never need to worry about picosecond laser procedures. Dermatologist is dedicated to keeping you calm and comfortable. If you have any concerns, feel anxious, or have more questions, be sure to let dermatologist know so he can help you. Compared to other laser treatments, picosecond laser is considered significantly more comfortable. Most patients have ranked it as a 2 out of 10 on the pain scale.

Others have compared it to getting Botox. Of course, it does depend on which area is being treated and your pain tolerance. Certain areas of the body have more nerve endings, so sensations will be more acute there. If you are concerned about discomfort, one option is the use of topical numbing cream. Doctor will apply this before the procedure to prevent you from feeling any discomfort. While a majority of patients do not require numbing cream, it is our goal to keep you comfortable. The sensation of the laser feels a lot like the snap of a thin rubber band. Either way, this is not the kind of procedure that you need to psych yourself up for. A majority of patients do not require topical numbing cream because the procedure was over so quickly.

#What Can you Expect After your Procedure?

As with most laser treatments, you can expect some redness and swelling. For most patients the redness gives them a slightly flushed look, but the extent of it will depend on the intensity of the procedure and which areas you are treating. Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require recovery time, picosecond laser treatment has no downtime. You are immediately safe to return to work or school. The redness and swelling will subside shortly, usually between a few hours and a day or two.

While it is technically safe to wear makeup and go out in the sun, it may be best if you refrain from doing so. There is very little risk of skin burn after the picosecond treatment, but your skin will be much happier with you if you don’t expose it to any more damaging UV rays. Makeup with certain fragrances and oils can block your pores and interfere with your skin’s healing process. This is why it is good to avoid wearing foundation or face powder. However, eye makeup, brow filler, and lipstick is fine.

To ensure the best results, you should avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area. As tempting as it may be, this could irritate your skin and interfere with its healing process. Instead, it is recommended that you wash your face as gently as possible until the redness goes away. This means using cool water, an oil-free cleanser, and touching your face gently.

#What Are The Potential Side Effects?

The most common side effect is lingering redness or swelling, but this rarely lasts beyond 24 hours in most cases. One potential side effect is unwanted pigmentation associated with acne scarring. If this occurs, the scars will appear slightly white during and after treatment, darken over the next day, and shed after 2 to 5 days. This side effect is not harmful, nor is it very common. If you have any concerns or feel excessive discomfort after the procedure, contact you doctor.

#Is Picosecond Laser Treatment The Trick To Achieving “Glass Skin?”

“Glass Skin” is a Korean beauty trend that has everyone jumping on the bandwagon. The term describes having flawless skin with no pore, discoloration, or pimple in sight. It also means having a certain glow to the skin – a look normally achieved with highlighter makeup. Picosecond laser treatment can certainly help get rid of the acne, scars, wrinkles, discoloration, and melasma that are standing between you and your “glass skin.”

It is recommended that you always get expert advice from experienced cosmetic physicians on how to achieve your aesthetic goals. Do not waste your time and money on life hacks, snake oil creams, and DIY solutions when an expert can give you correct, scientifically-proven information.
