1064nm Pico Laser
1064nm Pico Laser is a type of pulsed laser that delivers energy in extremely short bursts (picoseconds), which is one trillionth of a second. This ultra-fast pulse duration allows for precise and effective treatment of skin issues, including scars.
Photomechanical Effect
1064nm Pico Laser technology uses a high-intensity laser to generate a photomechanical effect. The laser’s rapid pulses create shockwaves that break down pigment particles and stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. For scars, these shockwaves target scar tissue, disrupting its structure and encouraging the formation of new, healthy tissue.
Fractional Treatment
1064nm Pico Laser often uses a fractional approach, where the laser beam is divided into multiple microscopic columns of light. These columns penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries in the treated area. The fractional treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps improve the texture and appearance of scars.
Targeting Scar Tissue
The laser’s energy is precisely directed at the scar tissue, breaking down the fibrous components that make up the scar. This process helps to remodel the scar tissue, making it less noticeable and improving the overall texture of the skin.
1064nm Pico Laser is an advanced laser treatment that uses picosecond laser technology to effectively treat various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma scars. The unique mechanism of 1064nm Pico Laser allows it to target scar tissue precisely, promoting collagen production and skin remodeling with minimal downtime.
Benefits:
Effective Scar Reduction:
The picosecond laser breaks down scar tissue and pigmentation, reducing the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma scars.
Improved Skin Texture:
The treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth and soften the skin, reducing the visibility of scar edges and improving overall skin texture.
Minimizes Downtime:
Due to its ultra-short pulse duration and non-thermal approach, 1064nm Pico Laser offers minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling, which resolves quickly.
Safe for All Skin Types:
The precision of picosecond laser technology makes 1064nm Pico Laser safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other side effects.
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production:
The LIOB effect promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin, which continues to improve skin quality and texture over time, providing long-term benefits.
Treats Multiple Types of Scars:
Effective for a variety of scar types, including atrophic (depressed), hypertrophic (raised), and pigmented scars.
Comfortable Procedure:
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment, and there is no need for invasive procedures or extensive aftercare.
Efficient Treatment:
Compared to older laser technologies, 1064nm Pico Laser can achieve desired results in fewer sessions due to its high efficacy.
How does it work?
Technology Used by 1064nm Pico Laser to Treat Scars
1) Picosecond Laser Technology
1064nm Pico Laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses (one trillionth of a second) to deliver high-energy laser light to the skin. These ultra-fast pulses create a photomechanical impact that breaks down scar tissue without causing significant thermal damage to the surrounding skin. The laser energy is delivered in a non-thermal, mechanical way, causing a process called Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB). This process triggers a wound-healing response in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production, which is essential for scar improvement and skin remodeling.
2) Fractional Laser Technology
1064nm Pico Laser can utilize a fractional mode that delivers the laser energy in a grid pattern, targeting microscopic sections of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This fractional approach speeds up healing by focusing on small, controlled areas of the scarred skin, enhancing overall skin rejuvenation.
3) Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB)
The LIOB mechanism creates micro-injuries in the skin at precise depths, stimulating a natural healing response. This process leads to the remodeling of scar tissue, making scars less visible and improving skin texture.
Suitable for individuals with both raised and indented acne scars. 1064nm Pico Laser is effective in softening and reducing the appearance traumatic and surgical scars.
Initial Treatment Course
A typical course involves 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule allows sufficient time for the skin to heal and for collagen production to be stimulated between treatments, maximizing the treatment's effectiveness.
Maintenance Sessions
After the initial course, maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain results, depending on the patient's skin condition and desired outcome.
