What Is Pico Laser?

Ultra-Short Pulses. Lasting Clarity.

Pico Laser delivers energy in ultra-short picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second — to shatter unwanted pigmentation into tiny particles that the body naturally clears. Unlike traditional lasers, Pico uses significantly less heat, making it gentler and safer for all skin types, including Asian skin. Beyond pigmentation, the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, pore size and radiance over time.

How It Works

The Science Behind Pico Laser

01

Pigmentation Removal

Breaks down stubborn pigment — freckles, sun spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — into tiny particles that your body naturally clears away over the following weeks.

02

Collagen Stimulation

The laser's photoacoustic energy triggers a wound-healing cascade that stimulates new collagen and elastin production, gradually refining skin texture, reducing fine lines and tightening pores.

03

Safe Precision

Ultra-short picosecond pulses deliver energy with minimal thermal damage, making Pico Laser one of the safest laser treatments for Asian skin — with significantly lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

What It Treats

Pico Laser Indications

01

Pigmentation

Freckles, sun spots, solar lentigines, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Pico shatters melanin faster and more finely than traditional Q-switched lasers.

02

Acne Scars

Textural irregularities and depressed acne scars. Pico's collagen-stimulating energy remodels scar tissue and smooths the skin surface over multiple sessions.

03

Skin Rejuvenation

Dull skin, uneven tone, enlarged pores and fine lines. Pico toning brightens the complexion and improves overall skin quality with zero to minimal downtime.

04

Tattoo Removal

Safely fades unwanted ink of all colours. Pico breaks down ink particles more efficiently than traditional lasers, requiring fewer sessions with faster recovery.
