The difference between picosecond and CO2 laser

Sep 07, 2024

The Co2 fractional laser is suitable for the following questions:
Enhanced skin rejuvenation: This combination offers both superficial and deep skin improvements.
Precision in treatment: Specifically targets areas without damaging surrounding tissues.
Improved skin texture and firmness: Stimulates collagen production for lasting results.
Deep wrinkles and fine lines
Atrophic acne scars and other types of scarring
Skin laxity and sagging
Overall improvement in skin texture and tone

The PICO Laser represents a leap in laser technology, delivering ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second. This method shatters pigmentation and promotes collagen and elastin production without the heat damage associated with traditional lasers.

Advantages:
Minimal heat damage: Reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Faster recovery: Shorter downtime compared to traditional laser treatments.
Versatility: Effective on various skin types and colors.

It is suitable for the following Skin Concerns:
Pigmented lesions or uneven skin tone such as freckles, sun spots, and age spots
Tattoo removal
Acne scars
Fine lines and wrinkles

PICO Laser is generally safe for a broader range of skin types, including darker tones, the CO2 Fractional Laser offers profound benefits for those with significant skin concerns but may pose risks for hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.

CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments generally remove outer layers of the skin, unlike Pico laser treatments. It is typically intended to remove scars, deep wrinkles, and even warts.

Basically, the CO2 laser is a more invasive and aggressive treatment than a Picosure Focus treatment.
