This makes the treatment much safer for dark skin tones than other types of laser treatments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;12.00&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"14pt\" data-margin-top=\"14pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.4\">Some older laser treatments, such as Q-switched lasers, can cause serious side effects for those with dark skin tones, including permanent scarring. Q switched lasers\u00a0is based on nano seconds pulse duration,which is long enough to create heat (photothermal effect) the skin and surrounding tissues\u00a0. However, Pico lasers work on a pulse duration of very short pico seconds (1\/1000th of nano seconds) which do not create much heat at all. It works on the basis of photoaccoustic effect by <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/slclinic.com.sg\/pico-laser-vs-traditional-laser-treatments-whats-the-difference\/\">breaking pigments through&#8221;shockwaves&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;12.00&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"14pt\" data-margin-top=\"14pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.4\">Pico laser treatment is also effective for treating melasma, a condition that causes brown or gray patches on the skin. Melasma,caused by radiation (including ultraviolet, visible light and infrareds) and hormones, is common among pregnant women and people who take birth control or antiseizure\u00a0medications. The Pico laser can lighten the dark patches of melasma and even out the skin tone.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"zw-paragraph heading2\" data-header=\"2\" data-margin-bottom=\"15pt\" data-margin-top=\"26pt\" data-hd-info=\"2\" data-line-height=\"1.3\">Why You Should Consider A\u00a0Pico Laser Treatment<span data-range-char-type=\"start\" data-bookmark-info=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;_Tocqaqbj3jj3jm1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;toc_f1yrs63dzkn3&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;bookmark&quot;}\" data-bookmark-id=\"toc_f1yrs63dzkn3\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-range-char-type=\"end\" data-bookmark-info=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;_Tocqaqbj3jj3jm1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;toc_f1yrs63dzkn3&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;bookmark&quot;}\" data-bookmark-id=\"toc_f1yrs63dzkn3\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;12.00&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"14pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.4\">Not sure if a Pico laser treatment is right for you?
