Ultra-Fast Pulse Energy
Photomechanical Pigment Shattering
Trillionth-of-a-second speed for localized spot precision and full-face clarity
By emitting energy in picoseconds rather than nanoseconds, Pico Laser converts light into acoustic pressure. Pigment clusters shatter without overheating the surrounding healthy tissue, significantly minimizing post-treatment redness or PIH risk.
What Is Pico Laser
Next-Gen Science for Spotless Clarity
Pico Laser therapy represents a major leap forward from traditional nanosecond laser toning. Operating at a trillionth of a second, the laser beam creates a photo-acoustic impact that pulverizes stubborn epidermal and dermal pigmentation into tiny particles for easy elimination by the body’s lymphatic system.
Equipped with dual wavelengths (1064nm and 532nm) and specialized fractional handpieces, Pico Laser treats deep melasma, sun spots, freckles, post-acne dark marks, and tattoo ink while simultaneously boosting skin elasticity and refining pore texture.
Key Indications
What Pico Laser Effectively Treats
Post-Acne Marks (PIH)
Rapidly clears dark brown and red post-inflammatory spots left behind by resolved breakouts.
Enlarged Pores & Texture
Fractional pico pulses create micro-vibrations in the dermis to contract expanded pores and smooth uneven surface rough spots.
Tattoo & Permanent Makeup
Breaks down artificial pigment and ink particles with fewer treatment sessions than older Q-switched systems.
Treatment Workflow
Your Pico Laser Experience
01
Digital Skin Analysis & Medical Evaluation
Our dermatologist evaluates pigment layer depth (epidermal vs. dermal) using high-resolution diagnostic imaging to customize fluences.
02
Skin Preparation & Cleansing
The face is thoroughly cleansed. Numbing cream is optional due to the comfortable, ultra-short pulse duration of Pico Laser.
03
Precision Picosecond Toning
Dual-pass laser application systematically sweeps target areas, fragmenting melanin while maintaining skin barrier integrity.
04
Cryo-Cooling & Regeneration Care
A cooling ampoule infusion and soothing mask are applied to soothe mild warmth and lock in deep hydration.

Comparison
Pico Laser vs. Traditional Laser Toning
| Feature | Pico Laser (Picosecond) | Traditional Toning (Nanosecond) |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse Duration | 1 Trillionth of a second | 1 Billionth of a second |
| Pigment Breakdown | Shatters into ultra-fine dust particles | Breaks into larger pebble-like pieces |
| Thermal Side Effects | Minimal heat transferred to surrounding skin | Higher heat retention, higher redness risk |
| Required Sessions | Fewer sessions (3–5 recommended) | More sessions (10+ required) |
Frequently Asked Questions
Pico Laser FAQ
Does Pico Laser treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle snapping or light tingling. Because the laser fires so quickly, heat buildup is minimal, making it far more comfortable than older laser models.
Is there any downtime after Pico Laser?
There is virtually no downtime. Mild pinkness may occur immediately after the session, but it typically fades within 1 to 3 hours. You can wear sunscreen and makeup on the same day.
How many Pico Laser sessions will I need?
While skin looks noticeably brighter after one session, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is recommended for stubborn melasma and deep freckles.
Can I combine Pico Laser with skin boosters or hydro-facials?
Yes! Combining Pico Laser with hydrating treatments like Rejuran or LDM ultrasound therapy enhances overall radiance and speeds up skin recovery.
What is the post-laser care advice?
Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily. Avoid sauna visits and aggressive scrubs for 3 days post-treatment.
