The picolaser shatters pigments by irradiating them with high energy in a short period of picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). By accelerating skin turnover, it promotes the elimination of pigments from the body and leads to smoother textured skin. In addition, because irradiation is performed with a short pulse width,It is also less stressful on the skin.It is. Downtime is relatively short, and the impact on daily life is kept to a minimum.

Fractional laser stimulates collagen production by making microscopic holes on the skin surface.

In addition, since the treatment is concentrated on the area of concern rather than the entire skin, damage to the surrounding healthy skin is minimized. However, since there is pain during irradiation, anesthesia will often be administered. After the treatment, redness, swelling, and scabs may occur, but will heal in about 10 days. The beauty of this treatment is that it can simultaneously address multiple skin problems such as pore size and fine lines and wrinkles as well as acne scars.

■V Beam Lasers

The V-beam laser is effective in treating reddish acne scars and vasodilation, and is also suited for improving keloids. Another feature of the V-beam laser is its ability to act on dullness and uneven coloring to even out skin tone. Because it reacts only to redness and blood vessels, the surrounding skin is relatively undamaged and downtime is short. There may be some redness and swelling on the day of treatment, but in most cases it will subside within a few hours. Swelling may last longer, but will subside in 2 to 5 days.
