What is Pico Fractional ?
High-power laser is irradiated at a frequency of once per trillionth of a second, increasing the density of the laser beam,
This is a treatment method that allows the light to be traded to the deepest layers of the skin.
By stimulating the cells in the dermis, the production of collagen and elastin is promoted, and various skin problems such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and craters are expected to be improved.
This treatment method is expected to improve various skin problems such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and craters.
Pico Laser at our clinic
While conventional Q-switched lasers have an irradiation time of nanoseconds (one billionth of a second), the PicoWay can oscillate in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). The short irradiation time reduces heat generation and damage to the skin. This laser device has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
At our clinic, two types of laser wavelengths, 1,064nm and 532nm, can be used to treat various types of skin. The doctor selects the wavelength while observing the condition of the spots and performs the treatment.

What is PicoFractional?
Fractional treatment involves irradiating picolaser by converging it in a beehive shape to create a high-energy zone 20 times larger than the original. This needle-like output high-energy zone is used to perform fractional treatment. Continued treatment is also effective in improving fine lines and wrinkles and sagging skin.
Features of Pico Fractional
The first is that it causes little damage to the skin surface, and the second is that it has a short downtime.
PicoFractional is a laser treatment that has minimal impact on the skin.
This results in less damage to the skin's surface, and because there is less damage to the surface, there is less downtime, such as redness.
Since there is almost no downtime, patients can wear makeup on the day of treatment and go home.
Improvement Effects of
Pico Fractional
Pico Fractional
-
01Improvement of acne scars
The PicoFractional laser uses an ultra-short pulse width to create microscopic holes in the skin and regenerate damaged skin.
This is expected to improve acne scars
-
02Improvement of pore size
PicoFractional laser treatment activates the skin’s regenerative capacity through the wound healing process,
Collagen and elastin are increased.
This can be expected to improve the appearance of pores.
-
03Improvement of sagging skin
Fractional laser treatment improves the elasticity of the skin through skin regeneration and collagen increase,
This is expected to improve the appearance of sagging skin.
-
04Improvement of skin texture
PicoFractional laser treatment stimulates the production of new skin cells by promoting skin regeneration.
This improves the overall texture of the skin.PicoFractional laser treatment is expected to improve various skin problems by promoting skin regeneration.
However, the effects may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and the number of treatments, so it is important to have a consultation at the clinic to discuss a treatment plan that is right for you,
It is important to discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you through consultation at the clinic.

Features of Pico Fractional
-
POINT
1Short downtimeThe laser used in Pico-Fractional treatment minimizes the diffusion of heat in the irradiated area by ultra-short picosecond irradiation, resulting in less pain and downtime
-
POINT
2Low risk of pigmentationThe picolaser used in picofractional treatment uses shock waves to pierce the skin internally, so there are no holes on the surface and the risk of pigmentation is low.
This makes it an easy treatment for those who are concerned about side effects such as hyperpigmentation.
-
POINT
3Surface anesthesia is available for those who are concerned about pain.For those who are concerned about pain or who are afraid of pain for the first time, surface anesthesia can be added to the treatment.
An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin surface and allowed to penetrate for about 20 minutes before the Pico-Fractional treatment begins.Additional charge: ¥3,300
