Pico Laser (Picosecond Laser) Treatment

Pico Laser uses ultra-short laser pulses at the picosecond level (one trillionth of a second)—significantly faster than conventional lasers such as Q-Switched Nd:YAG. This advanced speed delivers highly effective pigment fragmentation and skin rejuvenation while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Mechanism of Action

Photoacoustic Effect: High-speed laser energy shatters melanin pigments into tiny particles, allowing the body to naturally clear them away.
Collagen Stimulation: Enhances collagen production, improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, enlarged pores, and leaving the skin smoother.

Indications

Melasma, freckles, dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Tattoo removal
Skin rejuvenation and brightening
Acne scars, fine wrinkles, and skin laxity

Advantages of Pico Laser

Advantages of Pico Laser

Faster visible results compared to older lasers (Q-Switched)
Lower risk of PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) than older-generation lasers
Minimal downtime – no significant burning or peeling; patients can resume daily activities quickly
Safe and effective for all skin types, especially Asian skin

Possible Side Effects

Possible Side Effects

Mild redness, swelling, or temporary irritation (usually resolves in 1–3 days)
Increased sun sensitivity – strict sun protection is required
If settings are too aggressive, there is a potential risk of PIH or hypopigmentation, depending on the physician’s expertise and device quality (risks are generally higher with Q-Switched lasers)

Recommended Sessions

Pigmentation / Melasma / Freckles: 3–6 sessions or more, every 3–4 weeks
Tattoo Removal: 5–10 sessions, depending on ink color, depth, and tattoo size
Skin Rejuvenation / Brightening: noticeable results after 1–3 sessions
