• Painless and comfortable

Is PicoFractional laser permanent?

PicoFractional Laser treatment not only improves skin’s appearance significantly for most skin type. Its enhanced capabilities which means shorter treatment and recovery time. However, as with most (if not all) procedures, the long-term result is also dependent on your lifestyle and habits. Do have a realistic goal in mind and discuss any concerns with our clinician.

Can PicoFractional laser treat fine lines and wrinkles?

The answer is YES! Fine lines and wrinkles are part of the ageing process, but we all can do with minimal or none of them. PicoFractional Laser stimulates collagen production, an essential component for youthful looking appearance. Skin will be left feeling tighter and rejuvenated.

Can PicoFractional laser treat large pores?

When it comes to laser, the faster, the better. PicoFractional Laser is a picosecond laser which makes it faster and more efficient than the previous gold standard nanosecond lasers. In the treatment of enlarged pores, this laser penetrates deeper into the skin than just its surface to deliver pulses which cause tiny globules of air or bubbles. During a patient’s recovery stage, collagen fills up the bubbles and raises indentations and depressions resulting in a smoother appearance. PicoFractional laser is also able to effectively address hard to treat areas such as the nose and areas around the nose.

Can PicoFranctional laser treat uneven skin tone?

Uneven skin tone, also known as hyperpigmentation, is caused by the overproduction of melanin which is what lends colour to hair and skin. The causes vary and may include hormonal changes, sun exposure and environmental pollution. With its multiple treatment wavelength capabilities and being a picosecond laser, PicoFractional Laser effectively addresses dermal and epidermal pigmentation issues in a shorter time. It can improve skin appearance and tone for a clearer complexion.

Is PicoFractional laser safe?

PicoFractional Laser minimises skin damage significantly. Its technology results in not only shorter treatment and recovery time but more importantly, in increased safety.

Is PicoFractional right for me?

Many other lasers exclude certain skin tones because of the side effects on darker skin. PicoFractional is different because it uses non-thermal energy which is generally suitable for all skin tones.

How does PicoFractional Treatment at by Stella work?

PicoFractional – powered by ENLIGHTEN, from Cutera, is a non-thermal laser for treating multiple types of pigment issues. Its PicoFractional application converts light into sound waves to deliver Pico pulses. This photo-acoustic energy is a formation of sound waves following light absorption that creates laser induced optical breakdown of the unwanted pigment.

What is the difference between Q-Switched (Nano second) & Pico (Picosecond)?

The primary difference is in the pulse duration. PicoFractional Laser pulse duration is about 100 times shorter than that of a nanosecond laser. This capability enables Picosecond lasers to their job more efficiently, as compared to Q-switched or nanosecond lasers.
