Glossary
What is Dermapen
Dermapen is a treatment method that creates microscopic holes in the skin with ultra-fine needles, utilizing the skin's natural healing power to promote collagen production. It is used to improve acne scars, enlarged pores, and fine wrinkles, with a relatively short downtime of about 2-3 days.
What is Pico Laser
Pico laser is a laser treatment that emits energy in picosecond units (one trillionth of a second), which is shorter than conventional lasers. It is effective for treating blemishes, freckles, and melasma, and is characterized by minimal damage to the skin and short downtime.
What is Atheroma
An atheroma is a benign tumor that forms a sac-like structure under the skin, where keratin and sebum accumulate and gradually grow larger. If left untreated, it can cause inflammation, and surgical removal is necessary for complete cure, which is covered by insurance.
