Pico Laser
What is Pico Laser?
Technology is evolving rapidly in the beauty and cosmetic treatments industries. Few devices represent the leaps and bounds we’ve experienced better than the Picosecond Laser (or Pico Laser for short). It’s fast, safe, and non-invasive, with results backed by hard, scientific evidence.
What is Pico laser technology?
Pico laser technology is a non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can be used to address the majority of common skin imperfections, including spots caused by sun damage and acne scarring.
Pico technology is regarded as one of the most advanced laser treatments currently available on the market. It delivers noticeable, permanent results in fewer sessions than comparable options and is safe, requires minimal downtime, and can be used across the entire face and body.
How does Pico laser work?
Pico laser technology allows for the quick, effective, highly selective treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoos (in treatable colors). This laser also enhances elastin production in the skin, resulting in a softer, fuller, more youthful complexion.
Laser removal of pigmented lesions works by destroying the pigment in the skin without the need for excision. This process is completed in 3 simple steps. The laser works by targeting the brown pigment present in the skin of these spots. This pigment absorbs the laser’s energy and becomes scattered into tiny particles that
are then easily naturally eliminate by the body.
What can Pico laser be used to treat?
Pico laser can be used to treat a huge variety of skin conditions and imperfections. The most common include discoloration, scarring, and tattoo removal.
Pico laser for skin discoloration
Although harmless, birthmarks, melasma, sun damage, and other skin discolorations can be a cause of concern among men and women alike. Discoloration can also be a challenge to remove with conventional treatments. Pico laser may be just the solution.
An innovative technology, a Picosecond laser can minimize inflammatory pigmentation. Practitioners can target specific areas and small skin particles, reducing the risk of thermal damage. What’s more, Pico lasers can be adjusted to produce a range of wavelengths and fitted with a variety of applicators to target and remove superficial pigmentation.
The best part: Pico laser technology is strong and effective enough to produce noticeable results in just one session. It’s safe, too, making it a popular choice among those with sensitive skin.
Pico laser for acne scarring
Acne scarring can be extremely stubborn, often lasting for years and years and resisting other effective treatment protocols.
The laser creates thermal injury on a target area. The injured skin triggers the body’s natural healing process. Collagen production is stimulated, repairing and remodelling the skin.
Pico laser for tattoo removal
Pico laser treatments can also be used to remove unwanted tattoos from anywhere across the body. The technology’s high specification helps increase the speed at which the device shatters the tattoo pigments, meaning fewer treatments are required to achieve the desired result. While Pico lasers can be effective, no laser tattoo removal can strip the skin of all coloured ink pigments. Black and grey ink is the easiest to remove, closely followed by dark green. Yellow, purple, and fluorescent hues are the most difficult to remove.
Which Pico Laser machine should I choose?
Picosecond laser is undoubtedly a revolutionary technology, and at the current moment there are only a handful of reliable manufacturers producing solid devices adopting this technology. There are still variations in terms of the wavelength, the pulse duration as well as the energy delivery amongst the laser devices.
At Eagle Eye Aesthetics, we have chosen to use the Fotona StarWalker® PQX Pico Laser. The Fotona StarWalker® PQX Picosecond laser is a US FDA award winning picolaser offering third-generation ASP (Adaptive Structured Pulse) – powered technology for ultra-performance:
- Highest pico power & energy
- Shortest pico pulse width
- Wide range of laser wavelengths
- Exceptional spot size capabilities
- Largest fluence spectrum for flat-top handpieces
- Patented FracTAT® treatments for scars, pigments and rejuvenation
Five Laser Wavelengths:
StarWalker® PQX delivers five laser wavelengths to cover the complete absorption spectrum of melanin, oxyhemoglobin and water.
What is the Fotona FracTAT®?
Patented ablative fractional treatments allows for:
- Fewer treatments needed
- Shorter treatment time
- Quicker healing
- Enhanced generation of photoacoustic shockwaves
- Reduced frosting and pressure on surrounding tissue
- Direct pigment removal via ablation
- Better and quicker healing of fractionated skin
Non-ablative and ablative fractional treatments for:
- Rejuvenation
- Scars
- Pigments
- Tattoos
Fractional microscopic lesions are formed within tissues as a result of micro cavitations and plasma formation. Micro wounds are rapidly healed by the intact surrounding tissue, leaving the skin refreshed, more elastic and with fewer visible wrinkles and scars.
Halo Laser
This revolutionary laser treatment is new to Singapore, but has already taken the aesthetic treatment world by storm, and is putting other lasers and peels to shame.
If you struggle with wrinkles, sun damage, scars, or uneven skin texture, you’ve probably tried every product under the sun to improve your skin. Unfortunately, many skin care products can’t penetrate the epidermis, meaning you pay hundreds for minimal results. You need a laser treatment that reaches the deeper layers of skin so you can minimize your skin imperfections quickly and get long-lasting results.
With so many skin perfecting procedures available, it’s easy to get lost and feel overwhelmed by all the options. Fortunately, HaloTM is one of the few treatments that works on all ages, skin types, and skin problems. Whether you have aging skin, spent too many days in the sun, or just want to get a brighter complexion, Halo can improve your skin and boost your confidence.
What makes HALO™ unique?
HALO™ is the world’s only Hybrid Fractional Laser that delivers a non-ablative and an ablative wavelength to the same microscopic treatment zone. Combining these two wavelengths creates a strong synergistic effect, resulting in ablative results with non-ablative downtime.
Two wavelengths:
NON-ABLATIVE 1470 nm
1470 nm is tunable from 200 to 700 micron penetration, the optimal depth for treating the epidermis and papillary dermis for the appearance of pigment irregularities, texture, and pore size.
ABLATIVE 2940 nm
The 2940 nm Er:YAG laser provides pure ablation with no bulk heating, tunable from 20 to 100 micron penetration. This superficial ablation decreases healing time through faster clearance of Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris (MENDs) and provides improved results due to an enhanced wound healing response from small ablative injuries.
Here are 6 things you should know about the HALO™ laser:
- Halo is the first and only hybrid fractional laser
Unlike other treatments, Halo is uniquely designed to deliver both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same treatment zone. This dual-wavelength feature means that the laser resurfaces both your epidermis (the topmost layer of skin) and the dermis (the thick layer of living tissue directly under the epidermis) at the same time.
2. Halo doesn’t just treat fine lines and wrinkles
Although the Halo laser is one of the most effective fine line and wrinkle reducers, it isn’t just a treatment for aging skin. It also corrects issues such as:
- Discoloration
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage
- Scarring
Results will vary depending on the number of treatments you get and the severity of your skin problems. However, most patients report a significant improvement in their complexion after just one Halo treatment.
3. Halo provides more dramatic results
Thanks to Halo’s unique dual-wavelength technology, the treatment can resurface about 25 to 30 percent of the skin. Many other gentler lasers only resurface approximately 5 percent. This means the results of your treatments will be much more noticeable and dramatic than less powerful laser treatments.
4. Halo works on all skin types
Some laser treatments are only effective for men and women with lighter pigment skin complexions. This is because the laser targets visible skin imperfections, some of which are more easily overlooked with darker skin tones.
Halo is different. By using a motion-tracking technology to measure your face beforehand, the laser can scan and target imperfections deep within the epidermis — even imperfections that would not be visible to the naked eye. Because of this, it is effective for all ages, all skin types, and all complexions.
5. You’ll see results in as little as 2 days
Your skin undergoes a bronzing stage every several days. During this stage, your skin will peel to reveal new, revitalized layers beneath. If you receive a Halo treatment, these layers will contain improved skin tone and texture, as well as a decreased appearance of scars and dark spots. The first signs of improvement will be noticeable 2-5 days after your treatment.
During the next few weeks, you’ll continue to see subtle improvement in pigmentation, texture, and tone. These results will continue as your skin regenerates through the following months. Overall, if you protect your skin from UV rays, your results can last for years to come.
6. Halo requires fewer treatments for better results
Halo is more expensive than a chemical peel and has more downtime than a traditional fractional laser. That said, it can take a chemical peel or fractional laser 3-4 treatments to achieve the results of a single Halo procedure. Halo treatments are also known to provide better, lasting results in the long run. Because of this, for many patients, Halo is actually the more affordable and worthwhile option.
Why is Halo a game changer?
For years, doctors have been faced with choosing between an ablative or non- ablative laser for their practice. Ablative fractional resurfacing is a well- established treatment that achieves notable results by vaporizing aged tissue while causing significant patient downtime. Alternatively, non-ablative fractional resurfacing treatments tend to heal quicker but do not always meet high patient and physician expectations.
In 2014, Sciton shifted the landscape of resurfacing by introducing HaloTM, a Hybrid Fractional Laser that delivers both non-ablative (1470nm) and ablative (2940nm) wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone. Halo produces the impactful results of an ablative modality while generating the shorter downtimes that patients have come to expect from non-ablative lasers.
BBL Broadband Light
BBL Hero
BBL Hero sets a new standard in treating skin conditions anywhere on the body associated with ageing, sun, and environmental aggressors.
Developed by Sciton, a world leader in high-quality aesthetic light treatments, BBL Hero is the world’s most powerful pulsed light skin treatment on the market to deliver you targeted results.
BBL Hero uses light energy to quickly and gently heat the upper layers of the skin. This heat is then absorbed by the targeted areas to stimulate skin cells to regenerate. The gentle heating of the skin with High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) BroadBand Light allows for the fast removal of pigmentation, sun spots, facial vascular concerns including bruises and broken capillaries. This treatment is fast, comfortable, and requires minimal downtime with results visible in one week.
Described as the Swiss army knife of skin treatments, BBL Hero offers a variety of treatments to address a variety of skin concerns. This treatment is safe for all skin tones.
Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy – IPL on Steroids
BroadBand Light therapy (BBL) is essentially the next level of intense pulsed light therapy (IPL). Unlike IPL, BBL hand pieces are equipped with state-of-the-art cooling features. This innovation enables the use of high-powered energy while causing only minimal pain, side effects and post-treatment downtime. It also has a range of settings that puts more control into the hands of the practitioner. BBL was designed to target imperfections where they begin, below the surface of the skin. It helps correct a wide range of skin concerns including:- Sun damage
- Irregular skin texture
- Acne and acne scarring
- Age spots
- Birthmarks
- Fine lines
- Freckles
- Rosacea
- Sagging skin
- Visible, broken blood vessels beneath the skin
Heat and light energy harnessed by BBL target darker pigment in cells deep within the skin. The natural skin repair process triggered by treatments helps lighten discolouration and stimulate collagen growth. What is truly ground-breaking, however is something else BBL can do:
Save the Day with DNA
As we age, the DNA in our skin cells becomes damaged, making them less effective in their work of self-renewal. Slower cell turnover means older cells stay at the surface longer, creating dull, aged-looking skin.
BBL is the only skin rejuvenation treatment science has shown changes in genes associated with ageing and longevity.
A Stanford study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology showed that BBL treatments can alter the expression of genes associated with the ageing process. These genes are manipulated to more closely resemble those of young skin. The study supports the hypothesis that regulators of ageing can be altered in human skin using BBL technology to provide a functional change, rather than a cosmetic, superficial change in appearance.
Furthermore, the study reveals the molecular changes that are promoted by Forever Young BBL for improving the appearance of acne, sunspots, freckles, pigmented lesions, and vascular conditions.
BBL Hero Treatment Options
- Forever Flawless by BBL Hero
Forever Flawless by BBL Hero helps to reverse signs of;
• Variety of freckles and pigmentation
• Age spots
• Rosacea
• Variety of vascular conditions
The rich thermal energy that is emitted from BBL Hero targets the melanin in unwanted pigmentation and the fine facial vessels responsible for the reddening or flushing of the skin. You will notice your skin is softer, smoother, and more vibrant after just one treatment.
Forever Flawless by BBL Hero helps not only with collagen production deep within the skin, but when your skin has fewer flaws more light is able to bounce off your face, helping to restore your true radiance.
Most clients will need between 3 to 4 sessions, a month apart. This treatment is complimented with twice-yearly Forever Young by BBL Hero sessions to maintain your best result.
2. Forever Young by BBL Hero
Forever Young by BBL Hero allows you to press pause on skin aging and is suitable for:
• Aged skin
• Preventative ageing
Unlike topical products, Forever Young by BBL Hero is clinically proven to fight the ageing process at a deeper level by sending light energy deep into the skin to boost your body’s natural ability to rejuvenate and fight ageing.
Clinically proven to delay the signs of ageing, a 10-year clinical study saw tested patients received multiple Forever Young by BBL Hero treatments per year for an average of ten years. At the end of the study, doctors judged the patients to appear 11 years younger than their actual age. In other words, they looked younger than when the study began. As mentioned in the Stanford study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology above, Forever Young BBL was found to alter the expression of genes associated with the ageing process and in fact manipulated these genes to more closely resemble those of young skin.
Forever Young by BBL Hero is suitable anyone with ageing skin or who wants to help prevent skin ageing anywhere on the body. To achieve truly ageless results, we recommend two treatments each year.
3. Forever Clear by BBL Hero
Clear, calm and healthy skin in a flash. Forever Clear BBL is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne without creams or medicine.
With no downtime required, Forever Clear by BBL is a unique 3 step process using Yellow, Blue, and infrared light within the one treatment session.
The first step of BBL Forever Clear is to deliver blue light energy directly into the pore of the skin, directly killing acne causing bacteria on contact. Step two utilises soothing and healing yellow light energy to help calm, smooth and shrink inflammation from the pimple. Lastly infrared energy is used to boost collagen production under the skin to further help heal and minimise any potential scarring.
The number of treatments required will vary and be tailored according to each individual’s needs.
4. Skin Tyte by BBL Hero
As we age, skin loses its youthful firmness and natural elasticity, especially around the jawline and neck where it can add years to your appearance.
This infrared light therapy treatment is suitable for:
• Clients desiring a noticeable skin tightening without surgery
• Any area on the face or body
Rapid, gentle pulses initiate the body’s natural healing process, which leads to an improved appearance of sagging skin. This treatment can be performed on any area of the body where an improvement in the appearance of sagging skin is desired like the neck or abdomen. We are able to treat the entire face and anywhere on the body including the abdomen, buttocks, and arms.
The required number of treatments depends on the area treated. Usually between 4 and 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are required for best results.
Results are visible in as early as 2 weeks. The body will continue to produce collagen to tighten the skin with full results visible in up to 4 months.
