Long-standing hyperpigmentation is no longer a worry with the Discovery Pico laser

Doctor Acnes

Are you experiencing difficult-to-treat hyperpigmentation or dull skin?

  • Have you tried many methods but acne hyperpigmentation still doesn’t fade?
  • Dull, lifeless skin makes you lose confidence in communicating?
  • Hard to cover with makeup, using hyperpigmentation products forever without efficacy?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition but not easily completely treated. If this condition persists, hyperpigmentation can spread increasingly and become more difficult to treat.

Don’t let your skin lose its bright look – The Discovery Pico Laser at Doctor Acnes will help you radically fade hyperpigmentation, bringing even-toned and radiant skin after just a few treatment sessions.

What is the Discovery Pico Laser?

The Discovery Pico Laser is a new generation laser technology, using ultra-short laser pulses measured in picoseconds (1 trillionth of a second) to directly impact skin pigment clusters such as hyperpigmentation, freckles, and age spots. This technology helps shatter melanin pigment particles into microscopic fragments without damaging surrounding tissue.

The Discovery Pico Laser operates on two main mechanisms:

  • Photoacoustic effect: laser energy strongly impacts melanin clusters, shattering pigment into microscopic particles for the body to naturally eliminate through the lymphatic system.
  • LIOB (laser induced optical breakdown) effect: creates controlled micro-injuries in the dermis layer, stimulating collagen proliferation and elastin, helping the skin recover faster, become healthier, and more even-toned.

How is pico laser different from nano laser?

The pico laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses, dissolving pigment into extremely small molecules, creating favorable conditions for the body to easily and quickly eliminate them. This method is particularly effective with small-sized pigments, helping reduce hyperpigmentation and freckles quickly and bringing longer-lasting results than the nano laser.

The nano laser uses longer pulses (nanosecond), breaking pigment through the photomechanical effect, causing the pigment to be destroyed into smaller fragments. This method usually requires more treatment sessions to achieve similar results and can cause skin redness, irritation, and requires a longer recovery time.

Meanwhile, the pico laser not only shatters small pigments but also has a photoacoustic effect, helping to shatter pigment into finer particles without causing much thermal damage to surrounding tissue. The difference between these two technologies lies not in the depth of impact, as both can use the same wavelength, but in the pigment processing mechanism.

Thanks to the photoacoustic effect, the pico laser brings higher efficacy, reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and limits downtime, making it a suitable choice for those who want to safely and quickly improve pigmentation.

What makes the Discovery Pico laser technology at Doctor Acnes different?

At Doctor Acnes, the pico laser is performed with the Discovery Pico system from Quanta System (Italy), which is FDA (USA), CE (Europe), and ISO certified for safety.

This technology accurately targets pigment thanks to two wavelengths, 1064nm and 532nm, helping remove hyperpigmentation without causing thermal damage. Thanks to ultra-short laser pulses, the Discovery Pico not only removes pigment but also stimulates skin regeneration, bringing healthier and more even-toned skin after each session.

In addition, this technology also possesses 3 different pulse emission modes:

  • Pico (picosecond): shatters pigment using the photoacoustic effect, helping to remove pigment without causing significant thermal damage. In addition, with the fractional treatment tip and LIOB effect helping to create micro-injury points under the skin, activating the collagen and elastin proliferation process, restructuring the skin foundation.
  • Q-switched (nanosecond): uses the photomechanical effect to shatter larger pigments.
  • Long pulse (millisecond): thanks to the photothermal effect, helps treat issues related to acne, blood vessels, and stimulates collagen proliferation.

What Dermatologists say about hyperpigmentation treatment with the Discovery Pico laser

Hyperpigmentation treatment process using the Discovery Pico laser at Doctor Acnes

Step 1

The pharmacist guides the customer in skin imaging with the Observ 520X + 360 light skin analyzer machine

Step 2

A Dermatologist directly evaluates the skin condition and develops a suitable treatment regimen

Sanitize the Discovery Pico machine head with Cavicide antiseptic solution to kill pathogenic bacteria and viruses (including HIV, Hepatitis B, C) and prevent all cross-infection risks, including tuberculosis

Step 4

Clean the skin, apply numbing cream, and sanitize the treatment area to ensure safety

Step 5

Wipe off the numbing cream with gauze, sanitize the skin with Povidine solution, then clean the skin area needing treatment again with physiological saline

Step 6

Wear eye protection goggles for the patient and Doctor

Step 7

The Doctor adjusts the machine’s parameters according to each customer’s skin condition and proceeds to fire the pico laser

Step 8

Apply a facial mask, shine red light, and apply antioxidant essence to help the skin heal quickly

      Frequently asked questions about Discovery Pico laser for hyperpigmentation treatment

      How long does it take to see clear results?

      Efficacy begins to be seen after 2 – 4 weeks, depending on the severity of hyperpigmentation and skin type. For deep melasma cases, more than 5 treatment sessions are needed to achieve results.

      Does hyperpigmentation recur after treatment?

      The pico laser helps eradicate pigment from the root, but hyperpigmentation can still recur if the skin is not cared for properly, especially with excessive sun exposure. To maintain long-term results, it is necessary to carefully protect the skin with sunscreen and moisturize according to the Doctor’s instructions.

      Is the pico laser painful?

      The pico laser can cause mild stinging pain during the treatment process, especially when using the fractional mode, so customers will have numbing cream applied to reduce discomfort. After the procedure, the skin may be slightly red or swollen; this condition will gradually decrease within a few hours and normal activities can be resumed.

      Are there any restrictions after treatment?

      After treatment, it is necessary to follow the skincare instructions from the Doctor, including abstaining from certain activities such as direct sun exposure, not using cosmetics containing irritants, and caring for the skin properly to achieve the best efficacy.
