Hello Nana!
Thank you for your question. The Picosecond laser has been generating a lot of interest among many of my patients in recent months. While QS is definitely still useful, I personally find Pico lasers to be useful in treating stubborn pigmentation that may not have responded well to QS (nano-second laser technology).
There are not many large studies available at the moment regarding head-on comparisons between the Pico lasers, probably as this technology is considered relatively new to date, but in general they have shown good results regarding treatment for pigmentation, tattoo removal and acne scars.
Do take note, though, that certain lasers may be marketed as “pico lasers” as they use “pico technology” but they may not be true picosecond lasers. In this case, they may not be able to generate as high speeds and power as a true pico second laser, and this may theoretically affect your results. The DiscoveryPico, PicoSure and PicoWay are some examples of true pico second lasers available in Singapore currently.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Dr. Joanna Chan
