Pico laser is a cutting-edge non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment. It is used to address various common skin imperfections, including:
-
Tattoo Removal: Pico lasers are highly effective for quick tattoo removal. They can target different tattoo colors due to their dual wavelengths and powerful Pico pulse. The laser interacts with the skin using a photoacoustic effect, breaking down ink particles into small dust particles that are easily absorbed and eliminated by the body. This results in better tattoo removal with fewer procedures 1.
-
Wrinkle Smoothing: Pico lasers can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
-
Stretch Marks: Pico laser treatment can minimize the appearance of stretch marks by promoting skin regeneration.
-
Acne Scars: Pico lasers can fade acne scars by targeting pigmentation irregularities and encouraging skin healing.
-
Pigmentation Removal: Whether it’s sunspots or other pigmented lesions, Pico lasers can effectively address uneven skin tone.
This treatment can remove 8 kinds of wrinkles one by one with high-intensity focused ultrasound safely for face lifting and skin tightening.

Redness and Swelling:
Similar to how your skin reacts to a minor injury, the treated area may become red and slightly swollen. This is a standard response and usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Skin Sensitivity:
The treated area can be more sensitive than usual for a few days. It might react more intensely to products or touch. Be gentle with your skin during this time.
Tingling and Warmth:
Some patients describe a sensation of warmth or tingling in the treated area, akin to mild sunburn. This sensation is typically short - lived.
Rare but Serious Side Effects:
Hyperpigmentation and Hypopigmentation: These terms refer to darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation) of the skin. They can occur when the laser disrupts the skin’s melanin. In most cases, these changes are temporary, but they can be permanent in rare situations.

Before:
Sun Protection: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects.
Avoid Certain Products: Refrain from using retinoids, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating agents for a few days before the treatment. These products can make your skin more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions.
Hydrate and Moisturize: Keep your skin well-hydrated in the days leading up to the procedure. Moisturize regularly to maintain skin health. o Avoid Blood Thinners: If you’re on blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin), consult your doctor. They may advise you to stop these medications temporarily.
After the Procedure: Follow Post-Procedure Instructions:
Cool Compresses: Apply cool compresses to reduce redness and swelling. Avoid hot showers or baths immediately after the procedure.
Sun Protection: Shield your skin from the sun using broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Wear protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.
Avoid Irritants: Skip harsh skincare products, alcohol-based toners, and scrubs for a few days. Let your skin heal without unnecessary irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support skin recovery.
Monitor Your Skin: Keep an eye out for any unusual reactions, such as excessive redness, blistering, or persistent discomfort. If you notice anything concerning, contact your provider promptly.
Carbon Laser Peel, also known as the Hollywood Facial or Charcoal Peel, is a cutting-edge non invasive skin treatment that combines the benefits of charcoal and Q-Switch laser technology.

A specialized carbon-based lotion is applied to your skin, penetrating the pores. A laser is then used to heat the carbon, which absorbs the light. The reaction between the laser and the carbon gently removes dead skin cells, impurities, and excess oil.
The laser targets pigmented areas, breaking up cells so your body can naturally eliminate them. The laser energy heats deeper skin layers, causing cells to contract and creating an instant lift that smooths lines and wrinkles. Collagen production is stimulated, improving skin strength and elasticity. The carbon paste absorbs dirt from pores and exfoliates.
The primary goal of this facial is to rejuvenate the skin. Skin Aging: It’s designed to reduce signs of skin aging, large pores, and skin damage (such as acne scars).
The result? Softer, glowing skin that’ll have you red-carpet ready!
Exfoliation: It exfoliates the skin.
Cleansing: Clears and tightens pores.
Brightening: Evens out skin tone. Immediate
Results: After the first treatment, expect tightened, hydrated, and brightened skin. Treatment Frequency: For lasting results, consider treatments every 2 to 4 weeks.
