How to Say “皮秒” in English？
Skin pigmentation issues and the high incidence of various spots have long posed a major challenge in the field of cosmetic dermatology. Due to the lack of ideal treatments, these problems were difficult to address effectively. However, laser treatment has provided a highly promising solution for a range of pigmentation concerns. Unlike traditional chemical or physical exfoliation methods, laser freckle removal (remove freckle by laser) employs a technique that causes much less trauma to the skin, making it safer and yielding better results.
Among cosmetic skin laser treatments (cosmetic skin laser treatment), the picosecond laser stands out as one of the best and is extremely popular in aesthetic medicine. Originally, “picosecond” is a unit of time, symbolized as “ps” (picosecond). One picosecond equals one millionth of a nanosecond or one trillionth (10^-12) of a second. You can imagine that fine lines, pores, spots, and uneven skin tone are “killed” almost instantaneously by the picosecond pulse, which is why this treatment is referred to as the picosecond laser.
Ai Beauty has entered into a strategic partnership with Cynosure (the parent company of PicoSure), introducing the world’s first innovative device equipped with picosecond (皮秒) technology — the PicoSure Laser. Cynosure, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, is a high-tech company specializing in the research, production, and sales of various skin treatment and cosmetic laser devices. It holds 36 U.S. patents, with its products sold in 57 countries worldwide. Its flagship product, the PicoSure蜂巢皮秒激光 (PicoSure Laser), is the only device featuring both a 755 nm wavelength and the unique Focus Lens Array (“蜂巢净肤”) technology. It has been dual-certified by both the U.S. FDA and China’s CFDA for indications including pigmented skin problems and various types of spots.
The PicoSure蜂巢皮秒 (PicoSure Laser) utilizes an extremely short pulse duration to replace the traditional photothermal effect with a powerful photomechanical pressure, directly shattering targeted pigment particles into dust-like fragments. These fragments are then naturally metabolized by the body without leaving scars. By minimizing the thermal side effects, PicoSure not only reduces the number of treatments required but also significantly lowers the risks of post-treatment hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
The introduction of PicoSure Laser has profoundly addressed the limitations of traditional pigment removal devices. Its unprecedented PressureWave technology has captivated the aesthetic markets across Europe and the United States. The 755 nm wavelength is particularly effective for melanin absorption, and when combined with the ultrafast speed of the picosecond pulse, it delivers stronger, finer pigment fragmentation. This enhances tissue absorption and significantly improves clinical results. Simultaneously, it reduces heat-related damage, minimizing the risk of immediate pigmented lesions, thereby reducing the number of sessions needed and side effects such as rebound hyperpigmentation.
Moreover, the unique Focus Lens Array (“蜂巢瞬效透镜”) concentrates 70% of the laser energy to precisely shatter melanin while simultaneously stimulating collagen production and remodeling, helping to smooth out acne scars, fine lines, and pores, leading to overall face rejuvenation.
The picosecond laser operates based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, meaning it specifically targets problem tissues like melanin and vascular redness while sparing surrounding healthy skin from significant damage. It is effective for treating conditions such as:
-
Age spots (老年斑)
-
Wrinkles (皱纹)
-
Acne scars (痤疮疤痕)
-
Sunspots (晒斑)
-
Tattoo pigmentation (纹身色素沉着)
-
Discoloration (变色)
