One reason for this is that having bigger eyes make the person look more engaging, pleasing and fresh. Whilst, those with small eyes seems to look tired and disinterested.

Most people with Asian descent are born with monolid eyes – meaning their eyelid shapes does not have creases, making their eyes appear smaller.

This makes picosecond lasers about ten times faster than the nanosecond Q-switched lasers, which also means that the pico laser can fire more laser shots in the same amount of time as compared to a Q-switched laser. The shorter pulse duration also means that the skin has a lesser tendency to heat up and this...
