Is laser pigmentation painful?
It is not painful if you select a pico laser machine. The laser pigmentation uses Pico Laser which is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes ultra-short bursts of laser energy to target specific areas of the skin.
The term “Pico” refers to picoseconds, which denotes the duration of each laser pulse. Pico Laser surpasses traditional lasers using nanosecond pulses to deliver energy in trillionths of a second.
The extremely rapid pulses enable Pico Laser to break down pigment particles and stimulate collagen production with exceptional precision.
What Conditions Do Pico Laser Treat?
Is laser pigmentation hurt?
It is normal to experience what can be described as mild pinching, stinging, or snapping with laser treatment of more superficial problems such as pigmentation, veins, redness, or unwanted hair. Most people say the pulsing of the laser is similar to how it would feel if you had a rubber band around your wrist and snapped it against your skin. The sensation is momentary and the entire process takes about 15-60 minutes, depending on the specific laser treatment. The sensation of each procedure will also depend on the specific treatment and the treatment area.
Pico Laser has gained popularity as it is known for being less painful compared to older laser treatments. The ultra-short pulses of the Pico Laser create less heat, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and resulting in reduced discomfort during the procedure.
While pain tolerance can vary among individuals, most patients report experiencing only mild to moderate discomfort during Pico Laser treatments.
