Pico Laser
Ultra-short pulse laser technology for pigmentation, acne scarring, and tattoo removal with minimal downtime.
Book ConsultationWhat Is Pico Laser?
Pico laser is an advanced laser system that delivers energy in picosecond pulses — a thousand times shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers. This ultra-rapid delivery creates a predominantly photomechanical effect, breaking down pigment particles and stimulating collagen without excessive thermal damage.
This mechanism makes Pico laser particularly effective for treating stubborn pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and tattoo ink across a wider range of skin types than older laser technologies. The reduced heat generation also means less downtime and a lower risk of complications.
What Pico Laser Treats
Key Benefits
Ultra-Short Pulses
Picosecond technology shatters pigment into microscopic particles for faster clearance
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience only mild redness for 24–48 hours after treatment
Versatile
Treats pigmentation, scarring, and tattoo ink across multiple skin tones
Collagen Stimulation
The photomechanical effect triggers natural collagen remodelling for improved texture
What to Expect
Your Pico laser journey starts with a thorough consultation where your doctor assesses your skin concern, type, and medical history. A treatment plan is created based on the specific condition being addressed.
During treatment, you may feel a mild prickling sensation. Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes depending on the area and concern. Topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort, particularly for tattoo removal.
Immediately after treatment, mild redness and slight swelling are normal. For pigmentation, treated spots may darken temporarily before naturally shedding over 5–10 days, revealing clearer skin beneath.
