Pico Fraxel

Description

Pico Fraxel is a non-invasive laser treatment that combines the benefits of traditional Fraxel and Pico laser technologies to rejuvenate the skin, treat pigmentation issues, and improve overall skin texture. The procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the patient's skin to remove makeup, oils, and any impurities. A topical numbing cream is then applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment, and allowed to take effect for about 30 to 45 minutes. Once the skin is adequately numbed, the practitioner uses the Pico laser, which delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to break down unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production. This is followed by the application of the Fraxel laser to target deeper layers of the skin, encouraging further collagen remodeling and skin renewal. During the Pico Fraxel procedure, the patient might experience a mild pricking sensation and warmth as the laser is applied. The treatment can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Post-treatment, the skin may appear red and feel similar to a sunburn, with some possible swelling and minor peeling. Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and apply a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the treated areas. Recovery times can vary, but generally, the skin begins to show noticeable improvements within a week, with optimal results developing over the following months as collagen production continues. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired results.
