Treatment Overview
Ultra Pico Fractional is an advanced fractional Pico Laser treatment in Korean dermatology designed for scars, pores, wrinkles, and skin tightening. Using ultra-short picosecond pulses with fractional handpieces, it delivers controlled microbeams into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin remodeling while minimizing surface damage.
Compared to traditional CO₂ or erbium fractional lasers, Ultra Pico Fractional provides texture and anti-aging results with less downtime and lower risk of pigmentation rebound (PIH)—making it ideal for Asian and sensitive skin types.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Scars, Wrinkles, Pores, Texture, Aging family (Mosaic Pico, Deep Pico, UltraPulse CO₂, INFINI RF, Glow Pico):
- Ultra Pico Fractional: Best for scars + wrinkles + pores with less downtime.
- Mosaic Pico Fractional: Best for mild scars + pores + faster healing.
- Deep Pico Rejuvenation: Best for collagen + deeper wrinkles.
- UltraPulse CO₂: Best for severe scars and deep resurfacing.
- INFINI RF: Best for lifting + dermal tightening.
