Pico MLA & PRISM for Scarring & Stretch Marks
What is Pico Laser?
At Skincare Laser Clinic, we are committed to investing in the latest and most advanced unique technology to deliver the best results. Picocare 450 delivers brightening results 1000 times quicker than the usual laser pigmentation removal methods! Picocare 450 is your one-stop solution to having a bright and spotless face! It uses frictional mechanical energy with very little heat and delivers energy pulses at an exceptionally rapid rate. This breaks the pigment down into tiny particles that your immune system then removes naturally. Pico Laser treatments include treatments for pigmentation, melasma, PIH, wrinkles, open pores, acne and acne scarring. Due to the advanced technology results can be achieved more comfortably, with minimal side-effects and with fewer treatments than any other laser. Pico Laser can be performed on your underarms to brighten and lighten the dark pigments in that area.
What is Pico MLA?
It uses frictional mechanical energy to break down scar tissue using the HEXA MLA (Micro lens Array). The Pico Laser HEXA MLA allows 15 times more light energy to focus on each dot, creating a special chain effect called Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) Plasma Cavitation. This creates “bubbles” on the treatment area under the skin which can increase collagen production diminishing the scar, stretch marks and fine lines and wrinkles. This unique technology uses less heat which means that the treatment results in less discomfort, less redness and minimal swelling and leads to firmer, renewed skin that goes with a fresh and radiant complexion.
