Peptide serum are cosmeceutical active substances consisting of short-chain amino acid sequences (typically 2-50 amino acids, mostly 3-6), which trigger collagen and elastin synthesis, inhibit neurotransmitter release or prevent enzymatic degradation; They form the main component of the bulk in topical serum formulations used against signs of aging (wrinkles, loss of skin tension, fine lines).
Pico-laser (picosecond laser) is a laser technology that works with an ultra-short pulse duration of 10⁻¹² seconds (one billionth of a second), breaks down melanin and tatu pigment with photomechanical fragmentation (light-induced mechanical breaking), is injected without passing the thermal time thanks to the pulse interval as short as 1/1000 of Q-switched nanosecond lasers, collagen remodeling and laser-induced optical breakdown. (LIOB) is used for acne scars, benign pigmentary lesions, tatu removal and skin rejuvenation via dermal plasma formation mechanism.
