KTP Rejuvenation with HandPICO Laser is available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics.
The handPICO Laser operates through the generation of minute laser-induced optical breakdowns (LIOBs) within the skin. These LIOBs are localized plasma formations that occur when laser energy comes into contact with the skin's water molecules. The resulting shockwaves from the LIOBs shatter pigments and promote collagen and elastin synthesis.
During a HandPICO KTP Laser treatment, the handpiece will be carefully placed over the spots being treated, ensuring that energy is delivered only to the pigmented spots or vascular lesions, leaving the surrounding skin completely intact and unaffected. You may feel a mild tingling or snapping sensation as the laser pulses are delivered. The treatment is typically expeditious, and most areas can be treated in just a few minutes.
After a HandPICO Laser treatment, keeping the treated area clean and moisturised is important. You will also be advised to avoid sun exposure and use a good SPF for a few weeks.
