What Is Pico Fractional?
Pico Fractional by Vydence harnesses picosecond laser pulses (one trillionth of a second) to create microscopic “channels” in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production without the thermal damage or prolonged redness common with traditional lasers.
Key Features & Technology
- Picosecond Micro-Fractional Delivery: Ultra-fast pulses create micro-injuries that stimulate tissue remodelling while sparing surrounding skin, minimising discomfort and downtime.
- Dual Wavelengths (1064 nm & 532 nm): These wavelengths target deep and superficial pigments, making them ideal for sunspots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Fractional Beam Split: Treats only a fraction of the skin per pass, accelerating healing and reducing side effects.
- HandPICO Handpiece: Ensures uniform micro-spot distribution for consistent results across the treatment area.
Indications & Benefits
Pico Fractional is versatile enough to address a broad spectrum of concerns:
- Skin Rejuvenation & Texture Improvement: Smooth fine lines, evens tone and refines rough patches.
- Acne Scar Reduction: Softens mild to moderate post-acne scarring.
- Pigmentation Correction: Fades sunspots, solar lentigines and hormonal melasma.
- Pore Minimisation: Tightens enlarged pores for a refined complexion.
- Contour Enhancement: Firms lax skin and enhances facial definition.
- All-Season, All-Skin Types: Safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI, year-round use without increased risk.
Safety & Suitability
- Minimal Thermal Injury: Picosecond pulses avoid bulk heat build-up, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- High Comfort: Brief pulses and fractional delivery minimise pain.
- Low Side-Effect Profile: Redness subsides quickly, with rare instances of pinpoint bleeding or mild swelling.
- Expert Delivery: Performed by qualified medical aesthetic practitioners for maximum safety and efficacy.
