About This Treatment

Picosecond fractional laser delivers picosecond pulses in fractional pattern across skin for simultaneous pigmentation and texture improvement. Fractional effect triggers collagen induction and melanin clearance throughout epidermal-dermal layers, achieving comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Mechanism of Action

Picosecond pulses create 100-300μm fractional pattern of MTZs with simultaneous melanin shattering via photoacoustic effect. Surrounding normal tissue accelerates healing; re-epithelialization in 24-48 hours. Dermal collagen neogenesis continues 3-6 months.

Indications

Expected Results

3-4 sessions for significant skin texture improvement. 60-80% pigmentation improvement. 30-50% pore reduction. Peak results at 3-6 months.
