Active breakouts are frustrating enough, but the scars acne can leave behind can feel downright diabolical. Acne scarring plagues the pores of so many who have long-since recovered from active acne. By the fact that nearly 40% of those with acne have some degree of scarring, Acne scars can result from loss of collagen in the skin. With the recent advent of laser technology and dermatological research, scars can be treated.
TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN FROM INSIDE OUT
Picoway® Resolve is an exciting technology that is showing excellent results for Acne Scar removal with minimal to no downtime.The 532nm/1,064nm picosecond holographic fractional handpiece improved acne scarring by an average of 28%, according to the results of a study published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (November 2017). The PicoWay laser literally works from the inside out. The treatment does not cause the outer layers of the skin to break, so patients enjoy low to no downtime after treatment.
The laser beams in PicoWay Resolve and Resolve Fusion are split a central beam into 100 identical beams, or beamlets. Resolve Fusion has a wider coverage area than Resolve. These beamlets reach below the skin’s surface in areas that are spaced evenly apart. Because the laser is so fast and powerful, creates a non-thermal effect, called a “photoacoustic” effect. Tiny open spaces are created under the skin that are then filled in over time with the growth of new collagen and elastin.
