We've summarized the principles of PicoFraxel and its effects on improving pores and scars.

If you are looking into pore or scar treatments, “It’s effective, but isn’t it too painful?”, “Will the recovery period be long?” The same concerns come to mind first.

PicoFraxel is a procedure that is often mentioned in these types of concerns.

This is because it is a method that induces regeneration by delivering shock wave stimulation into the skin without making a hole in the skin.

 

in other words, It is often chosen for the purpose of reducing the burden of 'strong stimulation = long downtime'.

Let's start by summarizing the core principles of PicoFraxel.

✔ What is PicoFraxel?

PicoFraxel irradiates the laser in pico units (very short periods of time).

This is a treatment method that generates shock waves in the tissues beneath the skin without damaging the skin surface.

 

In this process

• Engineering phenomena (such as plasma phenomena) occur under the skin.
• This stimulus is the structure that induces a skin regeneration response.

It is commonly called 'Fraxel' It is not an invasive method that creates holes in the skin like the existing Fraxel. This is the biggest difference.

 

🆚 What is the difference from the existing Fraxel?

division	Existing Fraxel	PicoFraxel
Treatment method	Create microscopic holes in the skin	No damage to the skin surface
Stimulus transmission	Heat and invasion center	shock wave center
downtime	Relatively Kim	relatively short
pain	Feeling burdened	relatively few

 

What are the benefits of PicoFraxel? Why is it said to help you return to normal life quickly?

Existing scar and pore treatments

• Your face may become very red immediately after the procedure.
• Recovery periods of several days or more were often required.

PicoFraxel is Because it does not directly wound the skin

• There is relatively little redness or scarring after the procedure.
• It is described as having less of a burden on returning to daily life.

 

PicoFraxel, how is it performed?

PicoFraxel is divided into two structures depending on the treatment method.

▪ MLA format

• The central energy may become stronger
• Focus is good, but beam uniformity may be relatively poor.

▪ DOE method

• The beam is relatively evenly distributed
• Used for stimulation of large areas

In actual practice Sometimes these two methods are used in combination. ,

The approach may vary depending on the condition of the pores and scars.

 

In what cases can this help?

✔ What direction can you expect?

• Sagging or enlarged pores
• Overall roughness of skin texture
• Concerns about pores in the form of light scars

PicoFraxel is Stimulates regeneration, not by 'shaving' the skin Because of this

It is often mentioned that the skin feels as if the pores are becoming tighter.

 

Why is it especially mentioned for pores around the nose?

• The nose and navel zone are structurally difficult areas to treat.
• Injection or tip-tightening procedures have limitations.

PicoFraxel is Depth control is possible with laser method sun

It is characterized by its relatively easy access to the pores around the nose.

 

Will it be enough for all scars?

There is an important point here.

There is no treatment that completely improves all scars with minimal pain and downtime.

• If the scar is deep or large

• If it has already hardened into an acne scar,

  Picofraxel alone may not provide enough stimulation.

In this case

• A stronger form of treatment
• It is also mentioned that a merger approach with other methods may be considered.

on the other way, General enlarged pores and initial scarring sensation If so

It is concluded that there are many cases where satisfaction is felt with just PicoFraxel.

 

What Makes the Difference: Machines and Techniques

① Differences in the machines used

• Even if it's the same 'Pico Fraxel' The laser machines, wavelengths, and structures used vary.

• A similar concept to how electric vehicles have different performances depending on the brand.

② Treatment technique and depth control

• Just because you shoot energy hard doesn't mean you'll always go deep.
• In fact, sometimes a deeper reaction occurs with weaker energy.
• The practitioner's technique, such as adhesion, overlapping, and focus adjustment, affects the results.

So before the procedure In what way and to what extent it leaves a mark It is emphasized that it is important to check sufficiently.

 

How will the treatment cycle and number of treatments be guided?

• Recommended frequency: Usually every 3 to 4 weeks
• Minimum number of times: usually 5 or more
• Typical range: 6 to 10 times

The extent of pores and scars, And depending on your personal preference for pain and downtime, The number of times is described as an area that can be adjusted.

 

Let me summarize it all at once.

📦 PicoFraxel Summary

• Inducing regeneration with shock waves without damaging the skin surface
• A pore and scar approach that reduces pain and downtime.
• Often chosen especially for mild pore concerns
• Deep scars may have limitations on their own.
• Differences in machine, technique, and treatment standards affect the results.

The important thing is 'is it the right method for my condition?' It is a choice made after sufficient explanation and confirmation of criteria.
