Why Picosure is the Safest Laser Facial for Treating Asian Skin

What sets Picosure apart is its unique approach, utilizing a photo-acoustic effect rather than relying on thermal energy, making it exceptionally safe for diverse skin tones. At Laser Skin Centre, skin of colour is something we can safely and effectively treat daily using the Picosure laser.

Unlike traditional lasers that operate on a thermal principle, Picosure harnesses ultra-short pulses measured in picoseconds. The thermal relaxation time is 3 times less than older technologies, this means less heat in the skin for less amount of time, which also means a faster healing and less downtime after your treatment. This technology also allows the laser to target pigmentation and unwanted skin irregularities without generating excessive heat. This non-thermal, photoacoustic approach minimizes the risk of hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation and scarring, which are concerns commonly associated with Asian skin undergoing laser treatments.

The Picosure laser works by delivering pulses of energy that create a photoacoustic effect, shattering pigment particles into smaller, more easily eliminated fragments. This precise mechanism ensures effective results while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. The gentleness of Picosure makes it an ideal choice for treating concerns such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars in individuals with Asian skin.

One of the key advantages of Picosure is its ability to require fewer treatment sessions compared to traditional lasers with minimal to no downtime time or ‘skin preparation’ needed. While the exact number of sessions may vary based on individual skin conditions, many clients experience noticeable improvements after just 3 sessions, performed at monthly intervals with prices starting at $399.00 per treatment.

A Cohesive skin care routine at home will ensure longevity to your Picosure laser facials and best assist with concerns such as pigmentation. Your therapist will give you a personalised plan tailored for your needs.
In conclusion, Picosure laser technology stands out as the safest option for treating Asian skin types due to its photoacoustic, non-thermal approach. This innovative method minimises the risk of adverse effects, making it a preferred choice for addressing pigmentation issues and achieving smoother, more radiant skin with a shorter treatment course. Oh and did we mention it builds collagen and elastin too making it a great anti-ageing treatment for reducing fine lines and pore size!
