Introduction
- Customers are often confused about choosing aesthetic lasers when it comes to achieving clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Please bear in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all option.
- Among the popular choices, Pico laser and Carbon laser are 2 standout options. This article breaks down their differences to help you decide which suits your skin goals best.
Pico Laser Technology Explained
- Pico Laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses (one trillionth (x10 -12 ) of a second ) to target pigmentation, scars, and uneven skin tone at a deep cellular level.
- Photo- acoustic effect: Laser beams with ultra-short pulses create pressure waves and vibration to shatter pigment particles with minimal heat. It simultaneously stimulates collagen production and helps with skin rejuvenation.
Carbon Laser Technology Explained
- Carbon Laser, also called “Hollywood Peel,” uses carbon lotion and Q-switched laser for surface exfoliation and pore cleansing.
- Photo-thermal reaction: Carbon facial involves applying a carbon-based lotion to the skin, which absorbs oil, impurities and dead skin cells. Then carbon pigment then absorbs the energy from a laser beam, generating heat that exfoliates and vaporizes the skin’s top layer.
