Picosecond laser technology is an advanced skin treatment that is widely used to treat freckles, blemishes, wrinkles, and tattoo removal. The core principle of this technology is to use high energy laser to stimulate collagen production, which promotes skin regeneration and repair, resulting in smoother, tighter, wrinkle-free skin, and can effectively reduce pigmentation.
Different treatment programs are needed for different skin problems and treatment levels. Generally speaking, for mild freckles and blemish problems, significant improvement can be seen in 1-2 treatments; while for more severe wrinkles and pigmentation, 5-6 consecutive treatments may be required to achieve the desired results. For tattoo removal, the number of treatments and results will vary depending on the intensity and quality of the tattoo’s color, with treatments usually performed 2 times per month.
There are a number of recommendations and precautions that need to be followed both before and after undergoing picosecond laser treatments. Prior to treatment, it is recommended to avoid outdoor activities and inform your doctor about any history of drug allergies or other medical conditions so that he or she can develop an appropriate treatment plan. Also, the use of cosmetics or moisturizing creams on the laser treatment area should be avoided before the treatment to avoid affecting the results. After the treatment, you need to avoid contact with water and do not use soap or cosmetics until the scabs are completely removed to avoid infection or hyperpigmentation. In addition, medical creams or petroleum jelly ointment should be used strictly according to the doctor’s instructions, and actions such as scratching, peeling, and rubbing should be avoided so as not to affect the healing of the wounds and the effectiveness of the treatment. If any abnormality occurs after treatment, such as rash, swelling, redness, etc., please seek medical help promptly.
