About This Treatment

Picosecond laser toning uses 532/1064nm at low energy in multi-pass approach for melasma/dullness while simultaneously improving skin texture. Photoacoustic effect minimizes thermal damage versus nanosecond lasers. Efficiently removes surface melanin while stimulating dermal collagen remodeling.

Mechanism of Action

Picosecond pulses (10-100ps) absorbed by melanin create photoacoustic pressure waves, shattering pigment to nano-particles for efficient macrophage clearance. Fractional mode creates sub-epidermal LIOB cavities stimulating dermal collagen neogenesis.

Indications

Pigmentation / dullnessGeneral indication (see detailed description)Wrinkles / fine lines

Expected Results

4-6 sessions for significant brightening. Skin texture peaks at 3-6 months. Toning effect noticeable after 1-2 treatments with cumulative improvement.
