Laser for Birthmark Removal

Although harmless, birthmarks, melasma, sun damage, and other skin discolourations can be a cause of concern among men and women alike. Discolouration can also be a challenge to remove with conventional treatments. Pico laser may be just the solution.
 
Pico laser can minimize inflammatory pigmentation. Practitioners can target specific areas and small skin particles, reducing the risk of thermal damage. What’s more, Pico lasers can be adjusted to produce a range of wavelengths and fitted with a variety of applicators to target and remove superficial pigmentation.
 
The best part: Pico laser technology is strong and effective enough to produce noticeable results in just one session. It’s safe, too, making it a popular choice among those with sensitive skin.

Do the Pico brand matter?
Just like mobile phones, not every PICO machine is born the same. At Sheen Clinic, we brought in the Discovery PICO series with the most advanced laser technology for the treatment of pigmented lesions, aged skin and tattoos. The laser energy skips the skin's outer layer, directly targeting to destroy the pigment without affecting the surrounding tissues. In other words, more precise, less downtime.
 
Discovery PICO has the highest peak power and shortest pulses among all PICO machines in the market. That being said, despite being able to target various concerns more effectively, only a trained professional with many years of experience can operate it.
 
Having operated lasers for over 10 years, Dr Doris Lee (LCP Certified) will set the perimeter based on patients’ skin conditions, combining her skills and techniques to maximize the advantages of Discovery PICO. Better results can be achieved with the correct operation of Discovery PICO.
