What is Pico whitening?

Published in Laser Skin Treatment 2 mins read

Pico whitening refers to the use of Pico Lasers for skin whitening and the treatment of pigmentation concerns. These lasers are designed to improve skin tone, reduce acne marks, remove unwanted tattoos, minimize pores, and boost skin texture and radiance.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Pico Laser Technology: Pico lasers deliver ultra-short bursts of energy to the skin (measured in picoseconds – trillionths of a second). This rapid delivery breaks down pigmentation into tiny particles that the body can more easily eliminate.

  • Skin Whitening Effect: By targeting and breaking down melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color), Pico lasers can effectively lighten skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation.

  • Treatment Applications: Beyond simple whitening, Pico lasers are used for a variety of skin concerns:

    • Acne Marks: Reducing the discoloration left behind by acne.
    • Tattoo Removal: Breaking down tattoo ink for removal.
    • Pore Minimization: Stimulating collagen production, which can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of pores.
    • Skin Texture Improvement: Promoting collagen and elastin production for smoother, more radiant skin.
  • How it Works: The laser energy shatters pigment particles without causing significant heat damage to the surrounding tissue. This makes it a safer and more effective treatment compared to some older laser technologies.

In summary, Pico whitening uses Pico laser technology to target and break down pigmentation, leading to a lighter, more even skin tone and improved skin texture, while also addressing issues like acne marks, tattoos, and enlarged pores.
