A laser treatment that helps improve pigmentation, skin texture, and overall skin clarity by delivering ultra-short laser pulses that support collagen stimulation.
Pico Laser is a picosecond laser technology designed to deliver ultra-short pulses of energy into the skin in trillionths of a second. These pulses create pressure waves that fragment pigmentation into smaller particles, allowing the body to gradually clear them naturally.
At the same time, the laser stimulates collagen remodelling beneath the skin surface, helping improve skin texture and overall skin quality over time.
Pico Laser works beneath the epidermis by creating controlled photoacoustic energy within the skin. This process may help stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production while targeting unwanted pigmentation
This treatment is commonly used for concerns such as:
• Pigmentation and sun spots
• Acne scars
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Skin dullness
• Fine lines and skin texture irregularities
• Tattoo removal in selected cases
Some individuals may notice initial skin brightness within several days after treatment. Improvements in pigmentation and skin texture may continue gradually over multiple sessions as the skin renews itself.
The number of sessions varies depending on:
Brighter Looking Skin
Targets Pigmentation
Supports Collagen Stimulation
| Feature | Pico Laser | Q-Switched Laser |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse Technology | Picosecond pulses | Nanosecond pulses |
| Common Wavelengths | Commonly 1064 nm and 532 nm | Commonly 1064 nm and 532 nm |
| Energy Delivery | More photoacoustic-based | More thermal-based |
| Pigmentation Depth | Superficial to deeper pigmentation | Mainly superficial pigmentation |
| Common Concerns | Pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines | Pigmentation, freckles, tattoo ink, some acne scars |
| Treatment Sessions | Approximately 3–5 sessions | Approximately 4–6 sessions |
Approximately 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart may be recommended, depending on individual skin concerns, pigmentation severity, and treatment goals.
Most treatment sessions are generally completed within approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and skin condition being addressed.
Most individuals experience minimal downtime. Mild redness or temporary skin sensitivity may occur after treatment and commonly improves within a few hours to several days.
Yes, picosecond laser treatment may be combined with selected treatments such as skin rejuvenation procedures, medical facials, or skin booster treatments depending on individual skin needs and treatment goals.
Patients are commonly advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, and strong active skincare products for at least 1 week before treatment. After treatment, sunscreen application, gentle skincare, and avoiding excessive heat or strenuous activities for several days are generally recommended.
