You’re absolutely right – fractional lasers do help stimulate collagen production and can be an effective method to rejuvenate the skin and target texture concerns of scarring and pores as well as fine lines.
There can be some overlap between PICO and fractional lasers but generally speaking with fractional lasers, we are referring to a class of lasers such as the Carbon Dioxide laser or Halo Laser that causes microscopic columns of damage to the skin to trigger a wound healing response to improve the skin. With PICO lasers, we are referencing a class of lasers based on their speed / rate of fire, i.e. they fire a laser beam at ultrashort picosecond pulses, and when people refer to them, they are traditionally referring to PICO lasers to help even out skin tone and treat hyperpigmentation.
However, as laser technology advances – you will find many new PICO lasers have settings or handpieces to operate as both a fractional as well as toning (anti-pigmentation) device and this can be changed based on what your doctor is planning in that session for you.
If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out for more information. Happy to help answer any more questions!
