Acne is a common skin concern that plagues teens and adults – and it can be terrible in a climate as humid as Singapore’s. Even when the inflammation clears up, you can be left with ugly acne scars, hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and dark spots that take ages to fade.
Thankfully, medical aesthetic solutions like Pico Fractional Laser can speed up the healing process and type of skin conditions Pico Fractional Laser can treat include acne scars, hyperpigmentations and other skin conditions.
Pico Fractional Laser: The Versatile Skin Laser to Treat Many Types Of Skin Condition
Pico Fractional Laser is a multi-function laser that combines ultra-short picosecond laser and HEXA Laser Induced Optical breakdown (LIOB) to treat various skin conditions, such as dull skin, acne, acne scars, rosacea, pigmentations, sun-damaged skin and melasma. It is non-invasive and delivers noticeable and improved results in fewer sessions than other comparables.
Pico Fractional Laser delivers ultra-short laser pulse - without heat - to targeted problem areas. It targets the skin’s pigment cells, breaking them into tiny particles, which are then safely and naturally eliminated by the body.
Although the pulses of energy are highly concentrated, the laser’s effect is gentle on the outer skin layer. Thus, potential discomfort and trauma to the skin are minimised, and the skin heals faster with less downtime.
