What Are the Benefits of Pico Laser?
Pico laser offers several benefits to individuals seeking effective pigmentation removal and skin rejuvenation without downtime. Here are the key benefits:
Fast Results
Pico lasers are deemed effective at shattering pigments into smaller fragments, allowing the body’s immune system to remove them quickly and easily.
High Precision
The procedure has high precision and can target specific pigmented lesions, delivering optimal results on the affected area without damaging surrounding skin.
Minimal Discomfort
Patients typically experience little discomfort during their treatment, thanks to its gentleness effect on the skin.
Fewer Treatments

What is Pico Laser?
The term ‘pico’ is derived from ‘picoseconds’, which refers to the ultra-short laser pulses generated by the device during the procedure. This FDA-approved technology delivers energy in trillionths of a second.
The short burst of energy released into the skin can help break down unwanted pigments and trigger the skin’s natural response to produce collagen.
This can lead to a rejuvenated appearance.

Pico Laser for Acne Scars
Pico laser is also a helpful option for improving acne scars and overall skin texture. Scars left by acne can be very difficult to address. Often, if these scars are left untreated, they can worsen and become more resistant to treatments, preventing any significant results.
Acne Scar Treatment
The treatment works in two ways when treating acne scars. Firstly, the laser will penetrate the skin and create localised damage to targeted areas. From there, the thermal damage, combined with laser energy, will help break up the scar. A clinical study on the effectiveness of improving the appearance of acne scars concluded that pico laser resulted in a significant reduction in acne scar severity and led to improvements in skin texture and firmness.
Pico Laser for Tattoo Removal
Pico Laser was first introduced for tattoo removal. The laser treatment is effective, especially for black and grey tattoos. Additionally, tattoo removal with Pico Laser typically does not leave scars.
Pico laser targets ink particles, shattering them into smaller fragments for natural body removal. Fewer sessions are needed compared to traditional methods, making it efficient for tattoo removal.
Pico Laser for Collagen Stimulation
Pico laser stimulates collagen and elastin growth by delivering micro-injuries under the skin, triggering natural healing without damaging the top layers for a fresher, youthful appearance.
What to Expect for Your Pico Laser Treatment
Preparing for a Pico Laser Session
Preparing for pico laser is easy. A proper consultation will be done by our doctors, and you may be asked to avoid any makeup before your procedure. Your face will be fully cleansed to remove any impurities before the treatment.
What Happens During the Treatment
A numbing cream will be applied to your face for 15-20 minutes to minimise any discomfort. You will lie down, and the doctor will use a handheld device to deliver pulses into your skin. You may feel a pecking sensation.
Post-treatment
Pico laser is non-invasive and does not damage the top layer of your skin. You may observe slight redness, but it will fade away in a day or two. You may resume your daily activities directly after the treatment.
After Care Tips for Pico Laser Treatment
Following your Pico Laser treatment, adhering to a proper aftercare regimen is essential to ensure optimal healing and to achieve the best possible results. Your practitioner will provide specific instructions tailored to your skin’s needs, which may include:
- Keeping the Area Clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser as advised by your practitioner to prevent infection and promote healthy healing.
- Moisturising According to Professional Guidance: Apply a fragrance-free and hydrating moisturiser or healing balm as instructed by your doctor to keep the skin supple and support the recovery process.
- Avoiding Sun Exposure: Protect the treated skin from direct sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing.
- Not Picking or Scratching the Area: Refrain from picking, scratching, or rubbing the treated area to avoid irritation, potential infection, and the risk of scarring.
