Many people are anxious to have a spot removal treatment, but are you sure that lasers are painful? Many people are anxious about this.
Especially when it comes to cosmetic treatment overseas, people ask themselves, "Can I get the same level of care as in Japan? "Will I be able to get the same level of care as in Japan? and "Will I be able to get the same level of care as in Japan?
In this article, we will explain the pain caused by the spot removal laser and the process from the 5th and 6th day, using the Pico Laser (Pico Laser) treatment that we at Vivi Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, as an example.
What is the "pico laser" anyway? Differences from Conventional Laser Therapy
The Picolaser is a cosmetic medical device equipped with advanced technology that delivers instantaneous laser irradiation in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second).
While conventional lasers work on melanin pigments mainly through thermal action, the pico laser shatters the pigments with shock waves.
This difference can be expected to have the following effects
- Heat damage to the skin can be reduced.
- Pigments are finely ground and easily processed gradually by metabolism
- Pain and downtime are relatively mild compared to conventional laser treatment
In addition, the Pico laser works not only on melanin, but also on the promotion of collagen production, a treatment that is believed to help improve skin texture.
| Pico Laser Treatment at Bibi Clinic The picolaser introduced at Bibi Clinic is a high-performance device called "Picocare 450" manufactured by WONTECH in Korea. It is used as a medical device that meets the standards of the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and treatment is performed in consideration of safety. |

How painful is it? Answers to your concerns about spot removal with the pico laser.
You may be wondering, "I know that pico laser spot removal is mildly painful compared to other laser treatments, but how painful is it really?" But how much does it really hurt?
The pain felt during the procedure varies from person to person, but many people who have had the procedure describe it as “tingling” or "a feeling like being lightly popped with a rubber band. This does not mean that there is no pain at all, but the pain tends to be "tolerable.
However, some people do not like to feel pain. At Bibi Clinic, we carefully listen to your concerns about pain during preliminary counseling.
We use cooling, careful power adjustment, and optional anesthetic cream to reduce the burden if desired, so please feel free to consult with us.
As for downtime, redness and burning may be felt immediately after the procedure, but it will settle down in about one day.
The spots in the irradiated area may become darker and scabs may form, but the color will fade around the 5th or 6th day of the laser spot removal and scabs will gradually float away, indicating a recovery process.

Non-laser blemish removal options! Bibi Clinic's "Silpharm X
If you are not comfortable with the pain caused by laser treatments, you may want to consider another option. At Bibi Clinic, we have introduced Sylfirm X, a treatment method that works on spots and uneven coloring, which is different from lasers.
| Bibi Clinic's Silpharm X treatment Silpharm X is a cosmetic medical device that combines microneedling (fine needles) and RF (radiofrequency) energy. Rather than irradiating light from the surface of the skin like a laser, this treatment uses the thermal energy of RF to approach the skin while providing minute stimulation to the very shallow layers of the skin. It is sometimes considered as an option for skin with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dullness, uneven coloration, or melasma, when laser treatment is too aggressive. |
The pain of Silpharm X is limited to a slight tingling sensation and a mildly warm sensation. The use of needles tends to create an image of pain, but there is no need to be overly concerned.
Bibi Clinic uses anesthesia cream before the treatment, and carefully irradiates areas prone to pain to reduce pain and burden, along with fine-tuning the power output according to skin conditions.
For those who have concerns about the pico laser, such as "I don't like the instantaneous stimulation of snapping" or "I am concerned about redness and scabbing," the Silpharm X may be perceived as a treatment with low psychological hurdles.
