Pico Fraxel effects

"Pico Fraxel in Gangnam that helps

improve visible pores and acne scars"

Hello.


I am Dr. Conan, Medical Director of Seoul GU Clinic.

As the intense summer heat passes,

many people begin to notice that their skin feels rougher

and their pores appear more enlarged.

Once pores have stretched,

it is difficult to return them to their original state.

If you find yourself wondering whether you should manage them now or later,

it is best not to hesitate and begin treatment early.

However, if you are unsure which treatment to choose,

I recommend paying close attention to Pico Fraxel, which I will explain today.

This procedure is known to help

improve pigmentation, pores, and overall skin texture.

I will walk you through the treatment mechanism,

expected results, and how to manage your skin alongside the procedure.

"What Is Pico Fraxel?"

Pico Fraxel utilizes the LIOB phenomenon,

which stands for Laser Induced Optical Breakdown, based on vibrational energy.

The laser is delivered in a grid-like pattern

to create controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate the formation of new skin.

When the dermal layer is stimulated by the laser,

collagen and elastin production becomes more active.

This process tightens pores and creates smoother, more refined skin texture.

While Pico Fraxel uses a laser similar to conventional Fraxel treatments,

it delivers energy in an extremely short time frame, promoting regeneration

without causing significant skin damage.

Because the laser energy acts powerfully within the skin

and exits quickly without affecting the surface,

heat-related side effects can be minimized.

"Fraxel vs. Pico Fraxel.

What Is the Difference?"

Pico Fraxel is a more precise laser treatment

compared to traditional Fraxel.

The term “pico” refers to picoseconds, or one trillionth of a second,

which is the duration of the laser pulse.

Conventional Fraxel creates physical channels through the skin layers,

which can cause thermal damage similar to a burn sensation.

Recovery typically takes one to two weeks.

In contrast, Pico Fraxel preserves the skin surface

while creating micro-channels only within the deeper layers,

resulting in a significantly shorter downtime compared to older treatments.

"Treatment Process"

🌿 First, the skin condition and degree of pore enlargement are carefully assessed.

🌿 A topical anesthetic cream is applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

🌿 The treatment is then performed by adjusting energy strength

and coverage based on the individual’s condition, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes.

🌿 Afterward, calming care is provided to support skin recovery.

Redness may persist for three to four days, and in some cases up to one week.

In most cases, it subsides after about five days.

"Treatments That Pair Well Together"

For pore treatment,

three to five sessions are generally recommended at one-month intervals.

For acne scars,

three to five sessions at six-week intervals are often advised.

It is important to first identify the specific type of skin concern

and select the most appropriate treatment accordingly.

However, deep scars or significantly depressed areas can be difficult to treat with Pico laser alone.

In such cases, a combination of Pico Fraxel with other laser treatments is recommended for better results.

"If You Are Concerned

About Blemishes and Enlarged Pores"

When pore or scar improvement is needed,

Pico Fraxel is a treatment that can be tried with relatively little burden.

Because recovery is relatively fast and results are stable,

it is particularly well suited for busy professionals.

That said, energy intensity and the number of sessions vary depending on skin type.

This is why it is essential to design the treatment strength through a thorough consultation.

With consistent care, you can experience smoother and more even skin texture.
