Pico Laser and Carbon Glow, are two of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the industry. Both offer unique benefits, but understanding their distinct qualities and potential impacts on your skin is crucial before deciding which treatment to opt for, or whether to go for both.
What is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser is a pigmentation treatment that utilises ultra-short light pulses to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike traditional treatments, which may involve more invasive techniques, Pico Laser offers a gentler yet highly effective alternative. Think of it as a precision tool for your skin, delicately targeting and addressing specific concerns without causing unnecessary damage.
- Precision: The ultra-short pulses ensure that only the target areas are treated, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
- Non-invasive: It doesn’t require any surgical incisions or prolonged recovery time.
- Minimal discomfort: The treatment is generally well-tolerated, making it suitable for those with a lower pain threshold.
How Does Pico Laser Work?
Pico Laser works by using focused bursts of energy that break down pigmentation into smaller particles. These particles are then naturally processed by the body, reducing the appearance of spots and improving the overall texture of the skin.
- Targets Pigmentation: The treatment is highly effective in breaking up pigmentation, making it ideal for addressing sun spots and age-related discolouration.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: The energy pulses also stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production, which helps in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful appearance.
What is Pico Laser Good For?
The Pico Laser treatment is a versatile addition to any skincare regimen. It’s particularly knwon for its ability to address a range of skin issues, including:
- Pigmentation: Effectively reduces sunspots, freckles, and other types of hyperpigmentation.
- Skin texture: Smooths out uneven skin and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Acne scars: Reduces the visibility of acne scars, giving the skin a more even and clear appearance.
Who Should Do Pico Laser?
Pico Laser is ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive solution to multiple skin issues without the downtime associated with more aggressive procedures. It is suitable for:
- Those with pigmentation concerns: If you have sun damage, age spots, or other pigmentation issues, Pico Laser can help even out your skin tone.
- Individuals with acne scars: Those looking to minimise the appearance of acne scars will find Pico Laser beneficial.
- Anyone aiming to improve skin texture: If you’re looking to achieve smoother and more youthful-looking skin, this treatment is a great option.
What is Carbon Glow?
Carbon Glow is another innovative treatment designed to deeply cleanse the skin using a carbon-based product. It acts like a magnet for dirt and impurities, while also revitalising the skin’s surface.
- Deep cleansing: The carbon mask absorbs oil and dirt from deep within the pores.
- Pore refinement: Helps tighten and minimise the appearance of large pores.
- Exfoliation: The treatment gently exfoliates the skin, promoting a fresher, more vibrant complexion.
How Does Carbon Glow Work?
The Carbon Glow treatment involves applying a thin layer of carbon-based lotion to the skin. This lotion penetrates deep into the pores, absorbing oil and dirt. A specialised tool is then used to remove the carbon along with the impurities.
- Magnetic Pull: The carbon acts like a magnet, pulling out impurities from the pores.
- Thermal Effect: The tool generates a slight thermal effect, which enhances the treatment’s effectiveness and promotes collagen growth.
What is Carbon Glow Good For?
If your skin feels congested or lacks radiance, Carbon Glow is an excellent choice. This treatment excels in:
- Blackhead reduction: It effectively reduces blackheads and prevents their recurrence.
- Oil control: Particularly beneficial for those with oily or combination skin types, as it helps manage excess oil production.
- Brightening dull skin: By removing dead skin cells and impurities, Carbon Glow leaves the skin brighter and more luminous.
Who Should Do Carbon Glow?
Carbon Glow is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. Consider this treatment if you are:
- Dealing with oily or combination skin: It’s particularly effective in controlling oil production and minimising pores.
- Looking for a deep cleanse: If you want to give your skin a thorough cleanse and a fresh start, Carbon Glow is a great option.
- Seeking a brighter complexion: This treatment can help restore radiance to dull and tired-looking skin.
Can You Do Both Pico Laser and Carbon Glow?
Combining Pico Laser and Carbon Glow can provide a comprehensive approach to skincare, targeting multiple concerns and enhancing overall skin health. However, these treatments are typically done separately to cater to those with sensitive skin and to prevent overstimulation.
Benefits of Combining Both Treatments
- Enhanced results: While both treatments are effective on their own, using them in tandem can enhance and improve skin health, addressing different layers and issues.
- Holistic Approach: By treating both the surface impurities with Carbon Glow and deeper issues with Pico Laser, you can achieve a holistic skin rejuvenation.
Scheduling and Sensitivity
- Sensitivity Concerns: For those with sensitive skin, it’s recommended to space out these treatments to allow the skin to recover.
- Customised Plan: Our certified medical doctors can help create a customised plan that suits your skin’s needs, balancing the treatments for optimal results.
Conclusion
Whether you choose one, the other, or both, it’s essential to tailor your skincare journey to your specific needs and goals. Always consult with our doctors to create a personalised treatment plan that suits your skin’s needs.
