WHAT IS PICO LASER?
LATEST TECHNOLOGY THAT IMPROVES YOUR ANTI AGING SKIN REGIME
PICO Laser is a non-ablative treatment for hyper-pigmentation, uneven pigmentation, and skin condition Melasma. The treatment uses the latest technology, photo-mechanical laser light, to break up pigmented cells. The surrounding tissues remain undamaged, and the body’s healing process removes the disrupted pigment naturally.

Did you know... with age and sun exposure, our skin naturally develops the visible signs of sun damage. Skin related symptoms of aging combined with sun exposure cause age spots. Brown spots, hyper-pigmentation, and Melasma. PICO laser is an advanced treatment for skin discoloration which uses modulated laser light to disrupt unwanted pigment spots.
Benefits and What to Expect
The benefits of PICO laser over similar treatments are skin rejuvenation and improved complexion with limited irritation of the skin. The result is clearer skin with remarkably short recovery time. Patients find that within a short period, generally within a week, there is a noticeable improvement in skin discoloration. Pain management is rarely necessary, and because the treatment does not break the surface of the skin, there is little to no risk of infection. Anyone who wants to improve pigmentation and obtain a more even complexion will benefit from this treatment.
Commonly Asked Questions
Pain Management
The treatment is well tolerated and usually causes little to no pain response. In rare cases where minor discomfort does occur, over the counter pain medications are more than sufficient to alleviate recovery symptoms.
Downtime After the Procedure
In some cases, slight swelling of the treated area may occur. Some flaking of the skin may develop in aggressively treated areas. These symptoms should resolve themselves in a few days at most. For most patients, recovery takes one to two days at most, and the discomforting effects are mild. The elderly and those with skin conditions may take one to two weeks for noticeable effects to dissipate.
