What is Pico Prime?

Pico Prime is a laser that utilizes picosecond technology, which delivers energy at extremely short speeds—one trillionth of a second—to the skin. It works to reduce pigmentation and restore skin quality by breaking down pigment particles into smaller ones without damaging surrounding skin. It also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, rejuvenating the skin and resulting in firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin. Pico Prime is suitable for individuals with problems such as melasma, freckles, dark spots, acne scars, or tattoos. 

Pico Prime laser treatment should always be performed under the supervision of a physician. Results depend on individual skin condition and the number of treatment sessions, as determined by the doctor. The doctor will assess each individual case to create a suitable treatment plan and minimize potential risks.

How Pico Prime works 

Pico Prime is a laser using picosecond technology, capable of delivering energy in extremely short bursts—picoseconds (one trillionth of a second)—to the skin. It can deliver energy at speeds up to 300 ps (picoseconds) and a maximum power output of 2.0 GW (gigawatts). This energy breaks down pigment particles into smaller ones through a photo-acoustic effect. 

Pico Prime offers a variety of treatment heads to address different skin concerns and provide comprehensive care for various skin problems, including melasma, freckles, dark spots, enlarged pores, redness, vascular lesions, and tattoos. The selection of the appropriate wavelength and treatment head depends on the type, depth, and color of the pigment, and a doctor will assess and plan the appropriate treatment for each individual.

Pico Prime Treatment Handpieces

Pico Prime utilizes a variety of treatment heads and wavelengths to address different pigmentation concerns, as follows:

• Zoom Handpiece (1064 & 532 nm) A standard treatment head with adjustable beam size to suit different skin surfaces, suitable for a wide range of applications such as freckles, age spots, dark spots, and tattoos.

• Collimated Handpiece (1064 & 532 nm) A treatment head that provides consistent energy helps distribute energy evenly, ideal for areas requiring precision.

• MLA Handpiece (1064 & 532 nm) This is a Micro Lens Array treatment head that focuses the delivery of laser energy in small dots to stimulate collagen, deeply rejuvenate the skin, and help treat acne scars, fine lines, or enlarged pores. 

• 585 Handpiece (585 nm) An additional treatment head used to treat redness and broken capillaries.  

• 650 Handpiece (650 nm) The additional treatment head can be used to remove certain types of tattoos or treat dark spots.

 

Why do Pico Primes need multiple wavelengths?

The Pico Prime treatment head features multiple wavelengths to address various skin concerns. Each wavelength penetrates different skin layers and interacts with different types of chromophores, depending on the type, depth, and color of the pigment. This variety of wavelengths allows physicians to select the appropriate energy level for each pigment type, minimize damage to surrounding tissues, and plan effective treatments.

 

A deep dive into Pico Prime's Picosecond skincare technology.

Pico Prime utilizes picosecond laser technology, developed through continuous research and technological experience, and patented in several key systems to enhance energy stability and operational precision.

• Patent technology

The Thermal Lens Effect is a phenomenon where a lens changes due to accumulated heat, resulting in focal length distortion and potentially uneven energy output. Pico Prime has developed a single-chamber laser generator technology to simplify the structure and utilizes patented technology to mitigate the effects of the Thermal Lens Effect. This is achieved through a microcontroller-based mechanism that controls heat management, resulting in more stable energy output and a more uniform beam size.

• The energy is released at speeds up to 300 picoseconds (300 ps System).

It has the capability to deliver energy at high speeds of up to 300 ps (picoseconds) and a maximum power of up to 2.0 GW (gigawatts), which helps reduce errors and increase stability, minimizing heat transfer to the skin and reducing the likelihood of side effects.

• TOP-HAT Multi-Direction Mode

Pico Prime supports a multi-directional beam firing mode that combines TOP-HAT and Gaussian beam profiles for even energy distribution. It delivers energy through 260 microbeams, providing a maximum energy of 24.5 J/㎠ and a minimum spot size of approximately 100 microns, ensuring uniform energy distribution and preventing heat buildup on the skin.

 

 

Who is Pico Prime suitable for?

Pico Prime is not only suitable for those with facial skin problems, but it can also help solve a wide range of skin conditions, making it ideal for the following groups of people:

• People with acne scars or uneven skin texture. It can help stimulate collagen production in the skin layers, resulting in smoother skin and reduced the appearance of acne scars.
• People who have dark spots or red marks from acne. It can be used to treat skin pigmentation problems, helping to fade blemishes and even out skin tone.
• People with freckles, blemishes, or dark spots. This is another option for managing pigmentation problems. The doctor will assess the type of melasma and determine suitability before proceeding with treatment.
• Those who want to restore skin quality. Laser treatments may help promote smoother, more even skin tone and improved skin elasticity.
