Pico Laser
Pico laser is an Nd:YAG device that delivers dual (Pico & Nano) pulse durations to approach multi-layers of skin, proven effective in treating pigmentation (melasma, freckles etc.), wrinkles, pores, acne scars, rosacea, removal of tattoos and others.
What Is Pico Laser?
The innovative laser science provides treatment versatility, precise influence and pulse control needed to treat the most difficult cases.
During the Pico Toning procedure, laser energy penetrates deep within your tissue in order to effect changes and use your own body’s natural healing to improve the look of your skin. The laser energy will reduce the appearance of pigment and increase collagen and elastin, therefore reducing wrinkles and evening out tone and texture. The Pico laser treatment is very gentle and, as a result, multiple passes can be used to effectively and safely treat deep within the skin.
What Are The Benefits Of Pico Laser?
Pico laser is also safer, faster and more effective compared to earlier generations of skin lasers. Pico laser is able to break down pigments into finer particles. With each light pulse delivered at a faster rate, each treatment session can be completed faster and more effectively.
The treatment downtime on the Pico laser is also lessened.

Does Pico laser treatment hurt?
The majority of patients report almost no pain, only experiencing a slight warming of their skin and a light prickling feeling. Typically, no anaesthesia or topical is needed.
How is Pico laser treatment different from traditional lasers?
Pico laser delivers laser in picosecond duration which is 1000 times shorter than traditional lasers in nanosecond duration. When the laser beam is delivered in a much shorter duration, pigmented lesions and tattoos are removed much better, and side-effects are far minimised.
