In this article, The Vogue Clinic Chonburi will discuss the new popular skin treatment technology — Pico Discovery. This device uses advanced laser technology to address various skin concerns such as dark spots, redness, melasma, wrinkles, and many other issues that affect your skin’s beauty.

With its outstanding efficiency and advanced technology, Pico Discovery is a laser device that many people want to use today. If you are looking for a high-quality laser that can effectively treat skin conditions, we recommend trying Pico Discovery at The Vogue Clinic Chonburi.

What is PICO Discovery?

Discovery Pico Laser is an innovative medical laser device from Italy that excels in treating various skin texture problems such as pigmentation, acne scars, melasma, freckles, stretch marks, scars, and even tattoos of all shades, which can be removed in a single session. First, the doctor selects dual wavelength levels at 532 and 1,064 nanometers combined with the device’s specialized technique, then delivers a powerful pulse of up to 800 millijoules (mJ) beneath the skin to break down pigment particles into tiny fragments within an ultra-fast time of approximately 0.000000000001 seconds (10^-12) or 1 trillionth of a second (picosecond). This reduces the risk of side effects and helps lighten dark pigmentation, smooth out shallow scars, and brighten the skin naturally.

How does PICO Discovery work?

• Fractional handpiece can deliver energy waves on and under the skin, stimulating collagen remodeling to improve skin texture. It is suitable for those with acne scars, stretch marks, scars, or redness and dark spots from acne.
• Round handpiece helps reduce specific pigmentation issues such as freckles, melasma, fine tattoos, tightens the skin, and brightens the complexion.

What does PICO Discovery treat?

Besides treating the face, Pico Discovery can also be used to treat the skin on the arms, back of the hands, underarms, lips, chest area, and other parts of the body.

• Pico Bright: Brightens the skin, tightens pores, and reduces dark spots.
• Pico Deep: Smooths the skin, treats acne scars, reduces wrinkles, and scars.
• Pico Tattoo: Removes tattoos and birthmarks (Ota nevus).
• Pico Pigmented: Addresses pigmentation issues such as melasma, freckles, Ota nevus, and dark acne marks.
• Pico Heat: Reduces redness from acne, melasma, spider veins, and nail fungus.

PICO Discovery differs from Q-Switched lasers in the following ways

The treatment for acne scars uses a special lens called the Micro Lens Array (MLA), which compresses the energy into many small, high-energy beams (fractionated beam) directed onto the skin. The laser energy creates microscopic cavities beneath the skin known as Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB).

This is a unique feature of Picosecond lasers. These microscopic cavities stimulate the production of new collagen and skin regeneration, resulting in smoother skin. It is effective for treating acne scars, wrinkles, and large pores. The laser-induced cavities cause many tiny bleeding points under the skin after treatment, which is different from acne scar treatments using other types of lasers or radiofrequency devices.

The exfoliation of the upper skin layer causes tiny pinpoint bleeding on the skin’s surface, which is a unique characteristic observed after using Discovery Pico for treating acne scars and enlarged pores. Other types of lasers usually cause bleeding only beneath the skin. This makes Discovery Pico more effective for treating acne scars compared to other Pico lasers.

 

Who is PICO Discovery suitable for?

In addition, Pico Discovery is suitable for all genders and ages, whether you have scars, acne marks, stretch marks, or have not seen good results from other products. The Discovery Pico laser can help make your skin beautiful and well cared for in a short period of time.

• People with pigment disorders such as various types of freckles
• People with uneven skin tone who want brighter skin
• People who want to reduce wrinkles and improve skin smoothness
• People who want to remove dark tattoos, red or yellow tattoos
• People with large pores who want smooth, refined skin
• People who want to remove stretch marks

Before performing PICO Discovery

• Avoid hair removal for 2 weeks before the laser treatment.
• Avoid using cosmetics, skincare creams, or hair sprays containing AHA, BHA, or Vitamin A for 1 week before treatment to reduce the risk of irritation afterward.
• Avoid outdoor activities with intense sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
• If you have any underlying medical conditions, allergies to medications, or have undergone other procedures before, inform your doctor before every laser treatment.

After PICO Discovery

• After the treatment, you may feel a warm sensation on the skin. It is recommended to apply a cold compress until the warmth and any burning sensation subside.
• Use moisturizer and sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher.
• Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or outdoor activities for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
• If there are scabs in the treated area, do not pick, scratch, or peel them. Instead, apply moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and wait for the scabs to fall off naturally.
