How PicoFraxel Works
PicoFraxel uses ultra-short laser pulses to create controlled dermal micro-injuries that stimulate collagen remodeling. This targeted approach treats texture and pigment with minimal surface damage, translating into shorter downtime.
In Korea, clinicians tailor wavelengths and densities to individual skin type and thickness, optimizing safety and results. A thorough consultation assesses scar type, skin tone, and expectations to plan a staged treatment.
PicoFraxel for Acne Scars
Acne scars come in various forms, from shallow textural irregularities to deeper tethered pits, and PicoFraxel can address several patterns. Clinical data from Korean practices show combined strategies with PicoFraxel, microneedling, or PRP to amplify collagen production.
Sessions are spaced to allow collagen strands to mature, and results accumulate over multiple visits. While many patients notice significant improvement after a few rounds, deeper scars may require adjunctive therapies.
Hyperpigmentation and Pores
PicoFraxel can target pigmented spots while improving pore size and skin texture through fractional injury. In Korean clinics, a combination with Pico Toning helps normalize tone and reduce blotchiness.
Post-treatment care emphasizes sun protection and gentle skincare to prevent rebound hyperpigmentation. Patients often see smoother complexion and more even tone after a light series and proper maintenance.
Skin Rejuvenation Lift
Beyond scars, PicoFraxel supports overall rejuvenation by boosting collagen and elastin for firmer skin. Korean clinics often combine PicoFraxel with lifting lasers to enhance contour and elasticity.
This integrated approach aligns with current trends toward personalized, multitiered skin programs. A patient-specific plan may sequence PicoFraxel with Thermage or Ultherapy type therapies for best results.
