Fair skin tone, flawless skin, and excellent complexion with no spots, sores or fine lines on her face are the dream for every lady. That’s why most of them use whitening and spot-lighting serums daily, but the results are never as expected. How do you choose a whitening treatment from others if you fancy one? This time we will introduce you to 3 common skin-brightening treatments!

Discovery PICO

One picosecond is equal to one trillionth of a second and is 1000 times faster than a traditional nanosecond laser. In contrast to older lasers, the picosecond laser makes use of photomechanical effect, fragmenting melanin in a really thin “dust” with powerful pulses, which is easier to be eliminated by the body’s immune system.

In addition to reducing spots, Pico’s energy effectively stimulates the regeneration of collagen, precisely treating skin conditions such as acne scars, bumpy skin, rough skin, large pores, dull skin, etc. Regular treatments can renew and revitalise your skin.

Pros: high energy, good results, versatility. The laser is thousands of times faster than conventional lasers, there is no post-hyperpigmentation. It is the fastest, most complete and effective treatment available.

Cons: more costly. There are many beauty salons offering picosecond laser services with different wavelengths and applicators, so if you do not choose wisely, you may not achieve the desired results.

Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation uses intense pulsed light (IPL), commonly known as "photons", to improve skin discolouration and roughness without damaging the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and restoring elasticity and smoothness to the skin. The principle is similar to that of PICO, but there is a big difference between IPL and laser, as the IPL cannot be targeted like laser, but can only deliver a wide range of energy. As a result, the melanin is broken up into larger particles and the effect is slower to appear.

Pros: popularly known as the 'less advanced version of PICO'. It is cheaper than PICO, but has similar effects to PICO.

Cons: Less effective than PICO. It is not possible to target a specific area of the skin, e.g. freckles on the apple cheek. It is also less effective than PICO in removing blemishes, tightening skin and reducing pores, and it may take several sessions to achieve desired results.

Brightening Infusion

The active ingredient in most whitening injections is tranexamic acid, a blood-clotting drug that is sometimes used by surgeons to stop bleeding in patients who require surgery. Besides, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, the acid is considered to help fight off pigmentation and has a whitening effect on the skin. Vitamin B complex, vitamin C and glutathione are also the ingredients to aid the treatment.

Pros: Less expensive than Pico laser and photorejuvenation, many customers who are new to aesthetic treatments would like to achieve whitening results through injections.

Cons: Whitening injections do have a whitening effect generally but not specifically. For example, some girls only want to whiten their faces and the infusion may not work.

Italian DISCOVERY PICO’s Laser Treatment The Fastest Skin Rejuvenation & Whitening in Hong Kong

DR REBORN has introduced Discovery Pico, the state-of-the-art technology for spot removal with the highest output, fastest and longest wavelength laser in Hong Kong. The laser works precisely by delivering the optimal “photomechanical effect” to targeted problem areas: effectively shattering skin pigments and treating facial problems such as acne scarring, bumpy, rough skin, large pores, and dull and yellow complexion. Meanwhile, the treatment also enhances elastin production in the skin, resulting in a softer, fuller, more youthful complexion.

Greatest power output

The Discovery Pico with a power output of 1.8GW works like an atomic bomb, causing tiny blisters on the skin which responds by triggering its recovery period. The process stimulates huge collagen production and restructuring, rejuvenating and smoothing bumpy and rough skin.

Segmented Pico

The treatment uses a dedicated applicator to apply a segmented picosecond laser, which breaks down the scar tissues and creates a cavitation effect, causing the tissue to regenerate and flatten the scar.

The Refix super-lens in the dedicated applicator provides the converging energy with a fuller, more effective focus. With an output of 1.8GW, the laser causes proper harm as well as restructuring to the skin to improve the bumpiness.

Penetrating Power: Wavelength Emitting at 1064nm

With a maximum wavelength of 1064nm, DISCOVERY PICO’s highest penetration power reaches the dermis to treat scarring problems.
