Pico Laser Treatment for a Better Complexion by Premier Clinic

Pigmentation! Oh the loathe of my life. Be it pigmentation from acne, hormonal change or UV exposure we all wish there was a magic wand that can erase all of those for a flawless skin. That special wand has existed in the form of Q-Switch Laser before. As if that is not potent enough, Premeir Clinic now introduces a more capable treatment called the Pico Laser that is more effective and quicker in achieving desired results.

Consultation session with Dr. Jaswine Chew

According to Dr. Jaswine, Pico Laser is more effective as it produces energy from sound wave, unlike Q-Switch Laser which exudes energy from heat wave. Its wavelength combination enables the ray to clear even tattoo ink colours more efficiently.

It delivers ultrashort bursts of energy into the skin in trillions of a second to disperse coloured particles so that the fragments of pigments can be easily absorbed by the body. After a few treatments, the unwanted discolouration would leave the skin. 

The Pico Laser also induces pressure waves to stimulate the skin to create more collagen and restructure itself for a firmer complexion with enviable invisible pores. Dr Jaswine said the Pico Laser is amazing for:

• Acne scars
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Pigmented lesions
• Tattoo removal

PicoSure with Focus features:

• 15-minute treatments
• Only 1-6 hours of mild redness – minimal downtime
• Increased collagen and elastin resulting in dermal remodeling effect
• Lightening and brightening that patients want
• Safety in all skin types [1]

Hearing that, I wasted no time in trying my first Pico Laser treatment in Premier Clinic Bangsar.

Immediate effects of Pico laser

Premier Clinic's service by the staff is the kind that would not leave any space for complaints. Because I was rushing for another agenda, I skipped the numbing procedure. It was just slightly prickly and itchy during the first round. The second and third times were a breeze. Dr. Jaswine went over my face with the laser three times. She said it was tuned 3 times to different settings for different purposes. 

In just 15 minutes, my face looked brighter with the immediate lightening some pigmentation. I was told that the best is yet to come and my skin would improve over a 2-week duration. The skin should be drenched with moisturizer and sunblock is compulsory over the next few days. I was expecting redness and itchiness but none of it happened. Being thick-skinned pays off, I guess!

I was gently prepped with moisturizer and sunblock and off I went to face the world again with an improved visage. Thank you Premier Clinic for always bringing us the most up-to-date technology in aesthetics! 

Thank you Premier Clinic!

Accreditation of doctors

The consultation session with aesthetic physician, I must say, is a commendable one. Dr. Yap thoroughly explained the reasons of my pigmentation, the options that I had and how to prevent acne scars from recurring. I sensed sincerity in his consultation and it upped my trust towards his recommendation.

Consultation with Dr Daniel Yap

This treatment can be done not only the face but also other parts of the body that is pigmented. For me, I chose to give my back priority in treatment because I have been battling acne scars on my back for years.

Clinic MF's treatment room is comfortable and, most importantly, clean. Their nurses and doctors will ensure your needs are attended to. Having to bare my back, the nurse helped me feel easy during the whole treatment. 

The Q-Switch Laser procedure:

15-20 minutes for pre-cleansing

15-20 minutes for Q-Switch laser

20-25 minutes for Hydrogel Mask, mosturiser and sunscreen

Zap those pigmentation away!

I went straight back to work after the treatment and there is no down time (rest time) needed. 

There was no peeling, swelling and burning sensation although the marks are a little darker immediately after the procedure. Dr Yap explained it is because the blood flow is increased under the skin at treatment area, boosting renewal of skin cells and collagen. 

After just 3 days, I started to see my scars fade.

After the procedure, remember that:

• Consistent application of sunscreen for protection even at home is important
• Hydrating mask or moisturizer 3 ties a day for the first 5 days should be applied
• Normal facial is allowed
• Normal facial wash is allowed
• Products like foundation, make up, face powders and concealers are allowed

Do note:

• Not to sun tan or undergo artificial tanning
• Do not scrub or exfoliate for the next 2 weeks
• Do not apply toner for first 3 days
