Its laser energy penetrates better into skin treating targeted areas without causing damage to the skin surface resulting in lesser downtime.

Difference between Q Switched (Nanosecond) and Pico (Picosecond)

The primary difference is in the pulse duration. PICO Fractional Laser pulse duration is about 100 times shorter than that of a nanosecond laser. This capability enables Picosecond lasers to their job more efficiently, as compared to Q-switched or nanosecond lasers.

In the treatment of enlarged pores, this laser penetrates deeper into the skin than just its surface to deliver pulses which cause tiny globules of air or bubbles. During a patient’s recovery stage, collagen fills up the bubbles and raises indentations and depressions resulting in a smoother appearance. PICO Fractional Laser is also able to effectively address hard to treat areas such as the nose and areas around the nose.
