Pico Laser Treatment

Pico Laser is the most advanced laser skin treatment available today. Operating in trillionths of a second — picoseconds — it shatters pigmentation, melasma, and unwanted marks into microscopic particles that the body naturally eliminates, while simultaneously stimulating powerful collagen and elastin regeneration for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Overview

What is Pico Laser Treatment?

Pico Laser technology represents a quantum leap beyond traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers. The term "pico" refers to picoseconds — one trillionth of a second — the ultra-short pulse duration at which the laser fires. By delivering energy in pulses 100 times shorter than conventional lasers, Pico Laser creates a powerful photoacoustic (pressure-based) effect rather than a primarily photothermal (heat-based) one. This means pigment particles are shattered more completely and efficiently, with significantly less heat delivered to surrounding tissue — resulting in dramatically fewer side effects, safer treatment across all skin tones, and superior outcomes for pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, skin rejuvenation, and tattoo removal.

The Science

How It Works

The Pico Laser fires ultra-short bursts of energy at specific wavelengths — 1064nm for deeper pigment and skin rejuvenation, 532nm for red and superficial pigment, and 595nm or 650nm for specific ink colours in tattoo removal. These near-instantaneous pulses create intense pressure waves (photoacoustic effect) that shatter melanin clusters and ink particles into dust-like fragments, small enough for the body\'s lymphatic system to absorb and eliminate naturally. Simultaneously, the FOCUS lens array concentrates energy into the dermis to create laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) — microscopic injury sites that trigger intense collagen and elastin production for skin rejuvenation, without damaging the surface.

Why Choose This Treatment

Key Benefits

Pigmentation & Melasma

Shatters melanin deposits far more completely than conventional lasers — effective even for stubborn melasma and deep pigmentation.

Skin Rejuvenation

FOCUS mode stimulates collagen remodelling in the dermis, improving skin quality, tone, texture, and overall luminosity.

Acne Scar Remodelling

Targets both the pigment and structural components of acne scars for comprehensive improvement across shallow and deeper scars.

Tattoo Removal

Shatters all ink colours into micro-particles the body can eliminate — effective for multi-colour tattoos in fewer sessions than older lasers.

Safe for All Skin Tones

The photoacoustic mechanism and ultra-short pulse duration make Pico Laser significantly safer for medium and darker skin tones.

Fewer Sessions Required

Superior shattering efficiency means visible results in fewer treatments — with less discomfort and faster recovery than nanosecond lasers.

The Process

Your Treatment Journey

Every step is designed to ensure your comfort, safety, and the best possible results. Here's what to expect during your visit.

Treatment results
1
Consultation & Skin Analysis

Your specialist evaluates your pigmentation type, skin tone, concerns, and treatment history to determine the optimal wavelength, energy settings, and protocol for your skin.

2
Pre-Treatment Preparation

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and makeup-free. Protective eyewear is provided. A topical numbing cream may be applied 20–30 minutes before treatment for added comfort.

3
Test Spot (First Visit)

For new clients, a small test area is treated first to assess skin response and confirm the ideal laser parameters before proceeding to full treatment.

4
Pico Laser Application

The handpiece is passed systematically over the treatment area, delivering controlled picosecond pulses. You\'ll feel a snapping sensation — milder than traditional lasers due to the photoacoustic mechanism.

5
FOCUS Rejuvenation (if applicable)

For skin rejuvenation goals, the FOCUS lens array attachment is used to deliver collagen-stimulating energy to the deep dermis without surface disruption — completely painless.

6
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

A soothing serum and SPF are applied immediately. Mild redness or micro-point swelling may occur for 24–48 hours. You\'ll receive detailed aftercare instructions including mandatory strict sun protection.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Pico Laser fires 100x faster than Q-switched nanosecond lasers. This creates a photoacoustic shattering effect rather than heat — meaning more complete pigment destruction, less heat damage to surrounding tissue, safer use on darker skin tones, and fewer required sessions.

The sensation is described as a light, rapid snapping — noticeably more comfortable than traditional laser treatments. Numbing cream is available for sensitive clients or larger treatment areas.

The number varies by concern: pigmentation typically requires 3–5 sessions; melasma 4–6 sessions; acne scarring 4–6 sessions; tattoo removal 5–10+ sessions depending on ink density and colours.

Yes — significantly safer than nanosecond Q-switched lasers for medium and dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick III–VI) due to the photoacoustic mechanism which generates less heat. Your specialist will confirm suitability during consultation.

Most clients experience only mild redness for 24–48 hours. Micro-swelling at treatment spots (frosting) resolves within hours. Strict sun avoidance and SPF50+ are essential for 2 weeks post-treatment.

Yes — Pico Laser is considered one of the most effective laser treatments for melasma, particularly in a low-density, multi-pass protocol. It is combined with a homecare programme including tyrosinase inhibitors and SPF50+ for the best outcomes.
