Have you ever wondered, “Does pico laser treatment work for pore care?” Because of Thailand’s strong UV rays and heat, many people are concerned about enlarged pores, dark spots, and bumpy, uneven skin texture, aren’t they?

In this article, staff at Vivi Clinic will provide a detailed explanation of why pico lasers are the treatment of choice for pore care in Bangkok, as well as the number of sessions required and the downtime involved.

Why is the Pico Laser the treatment of choice for pore concerns in Thailand?

In Thailand, where it’s hot all year round and the sun shines intensely, have you noticed that your pores seem to be more noticeable lately?

When considering pore treatment in Bangkok, why is the pico laser one of the options? First, let’s examine the relationship between Thailand’s unique environment and skin to understand the reasons behind this.

High temperatures and high humidity can cause pores to become enlarged or saggy.

Bangkok, Thailand, is a “land of eternal summer” where temperatures and humidity remain high year-round. As temperatures rise, sebum production increases, making it harder for sweat to evaporate. This excess sebum then clogs the pores, creating conditions that make it easy for blackheads to form.

This results in pores that look dark and rough.

Furthermore, when skin that has lost elasticity due to aging is compounded by pore problems, it can lead to “sagging pores,” in which the pores stretch vertically.

Does Strong UV Radiation Affect Skin Dryness and Firmness?!

Surprisingly, it is said that UV radiation levels in Thailand are about five times* higher than in Japan. Intense UV rays can break down collagen deep within the skin, which can lead to a loss of firmness and elasticity.

Skin damaged by UV rays loses moisture more easily, leading to dryness, and disrupts the skin’s natural renewal cycle.

When the skin's natural renewal cycle is disrupted, the skin texture becomes uneven, and the skin becomes even more prone to dryness. In an effort to alleviate this dryness, the skin begins to produce excess sebum, leading to a vicious cycle in which clogged pores and enlarged pores worsen.

For this reason, pico laser treatment is sometimes chosen as one of the procedures to address these pore-related issues.

Why Is the Pico Laser the Top Choice for Pore Treatment?

Pico laser treatment involves emitting laser pulses in a very short time span—picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). It uses shock waves to address pore-related issues.

While there are several treatment modes for pico lasers, pico-fractional treatment is primarily used for enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. Pico-fractional treatment involves delivering high-density laser energy. By applying microscopic stimulation to the skin, this procedure harnesses the skin’s natural healing response to promote the production of collagen and elastin.

Because this laser uses short-duration shock waves, it tends to cause less damage to the skin's surface and result in minimal downtime.

Pore Care at Bibi Clinic! How Many Pico Laser Treatments Do I Need?

At Bibi Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, we adjust the treatment settings to suit each patient’s skin and pore condition.

From here on, I’ll explain the features of our clinic’s pico laser and provide some guidelines to help you see the results for yourself.

Features of Bibi Clinic’s Pico Laser

Bangkok Bibi Clinic uses the “PicoCare 450,” manufactured and sold by South Korea’s Wontech. It has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA.

It features three treatment modes: Pico Toning, which uses low-power laser energy; Pico Spot, which delivers laser energy to specific points; and Pico Fractional, which delivers high-density laser energy.

By selecting the appropriate irradiation mode for your specific skin concerns, you can address a variety of issues, including enlarged pores.

How many times does it take to notice a change?

With pico laser pore treatment, some people notice changes after just one session, such as “my skin tone seems brighter” or “my makeup goes on better.”

However, if you’re looking to address stubborn enlarged pores and uneven skin texture and achieve lasting smoothness, we recommend about 5 to 6 sessions. Ideally, you should come in once a month, in line with your skin’s renewal cycle.

A full-face treatment typically takes about 40 to 60 minutes. We offer a straightforward pricing structure, so please feel free to discuss your options in detail during your free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions You Should Know Before Your Treatment! Downtime and Precautions for Pico Laser Pore Treatment

We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help first-time Pico Laser patients feel at ease before their treatment.

Q. How much does it hurt during the procedure? Is anesthesia used?

A. While pain sensitivity varies from person to person, you may feel a sensation similar to being snapped with a rubber band or a slight prickling pain.

At our clinic, we provide anesthetic cream upon request, so even those who are anxious about pain can relax and receive treatment.

Q. What is the downtime for pico laser pore treatment? How long do the redness and pain last?

A. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience the pinpoint redness and soreness typical of pico-fractional treatments, but these symptoms usually subside naturally within a few hours to, at most, about three days. Please rest assured.

Q. What should I be careful about after the treatment?

A. Please make sure to moisturize thoroughly and take careful precautions against sun exposure! After laser treatment, your skin is temporarily very delicate and prone to dryness.

To strengthen your skin’s barrier function, be sure to moisturize with lotion and cream more generously than usual to replenish moisture and oils. If you’ve undergone Pico Fractional treatment, you can apply makeup starting three days after the procedure.
