How does PicoToning work in reducing wrinkles?

Doctor's Answers 1

By using the fractionated handpiece for PicoToning, the pico-laser beams are focused to very tiny and concentrated beams. These highly concentrated beams coupled with the ultrashort pulse duration of the pico-laser create intense pressure waves and cause microscopic cavitations under the skin (laser-induced optical debris/damage as the laser company calls it). Subsequent healing that occurs generates new collagen and results in the reduction of wrinkles.

As the above treatment is non-ablative and no skin tissue is actually destroyed and lost, recovery time is quick and painless.

The side-benefits are that the PicoToning also targets abnormal skin pigmentation and gives better clarity and glow after treatment.

How effective is fractional Co2 laser vs Infini RF for acne scars?

Good questions! I agree with Dr Chua’s reply on the pros and cons of Fractional CO2 lasers versus Infini RF. In addition, I would like to address your question on the ideal length of time between subcision and Infini RF treatments. The ideal interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks. This is to allow for adequate skin recovery. Hope that this answers your questions!

Is PRP injection available for acne scarring in Singapore?

PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
