Has it ever happened to you that you’ve stood in front of a mirror and contemplated how to get rid of the annoying sunspots, slight lines and complicated scars? If it is so, you don’t have to be the lone ranger. Millions of people around the world are grappling with different skin problems, and dermatology continues to make new discoveries to provide answers. There is a number of such revolutionary technologies among which we can mention a Pico laser that more and more people use because of its efficiency in treating all skin flaws. And so how does it actually work?<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Traditional Lasers vs. Pico Lasers<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lasers have been a key element in the rejuvenation of the skin for many years. The conventional lasers beam light pulses to an area in the skin that is endpoints for the specific tissues. Advances in lasers allow for this selective energy to disintegrate undesirable pigmentation, stimulate collagen, or even destroy any unwelcome hair. Nonetheless, the classic laser operates via injection of larger amounts of energy known as longer pulse duration, which later leads to creation of heat. As the heat reaches the undesirable tissue, the surrounding healthier skin can also be injured, and then side effects such as redness, swelling and even scarring could occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Picosecond Revolution: Setting an Ultra-Short-Pulse Parameter<\/b><\/h2>\n

By Pico lasers, the nature of substance is changed by injection in ultra-short powerflash pulses of light energy measured in picoseconds (one billionth of a second). This short decrease of the laser pulse to less than one nanosecond is sufficient to substantialy increase photomechanical impact without major thermal damage. Imagine it like this: compared to the traditional monolithic lasers that produce a prolonged blast of heat, Pico lasers deliver genuine, fast, and focused upshots, dissolving the target tissue with least possible negative effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Photomechanical Effect: Processing without Burning<\/b><\/h2>\n

The principle of Pico is also based on photomechanical effect. A light pulse with the ultrashort life span applied also creates an instant shockwave. This high-pressure shockwave acts as a microexploder that fractures the target (that may be, for instance, an unwanted pigment or a scar tissue), without reaching the levels of heat that may damage the surrounding tissue, thereby making the treatment safer. The affected area then starts to improve as organs of the body gradually remove the debris which had been formed by foreign cells (microbes) with time.<\/span><\/p>\n
