What is Pico Laser — Pigmentation & Skin Resurfacing?
Pico laser delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second in duration — that shatter pigment particles through photomechanical energy rather than relying primarily on heat. This means dramatically less thermal damage to surrounding tissue compared to traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers, translating to less downtime, less discomfort, and a significantly lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — making it suitable for darker skin tones. The photomechanical effect shatters pigment into microscopic dust-like fragments that the immune system clears naturally. Simultaneously, the laser creates LIOB (laser-induced optical breakdown) in the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin synthesis for skin resurfacing and pore refinement benefits. Targets melasma, sunspots, PIH, freckles, uneven tone, fine lines, enlarged pores, and even tattoo removal.
Ask a SpecialistKey Benefits
Shatters Pigment Precisely
Picosecond pulses shatter pigment particles into microscopic fragments cleared naturally by the immune system with pinpoint accuracy.
Minimal Thermal Damage
Ultra-short pulse duration means dramatically less heat than traditional lasers, reducing downtime and post-treatment side effects.
Collagen Stimulation
The photomechanical effect triggers deep collagen and elastin remodeling for improved texture and refined pore appearance.
Safer for Darker Skin
Reduced thermal injury makes Pico laser significantly safer and more suitable for patients with olive and darker skin tones.
How It Works
Skin Assessment & Settings
Fitzpatrick skin type, pigmentation depth and distribution, and treatment goals are assessed to select the optimal wavelength and fluence settings.
Laser Treatment Session
Protective eyewear is worn. The Pico laser handpiece delivers rapid pulses across the treatment area. Sessions take 20–45 minutes.
Recovery & Progressive Clearance
Mild redness resolves within hours. Pigmentation darkens briefly before shedding over 1–2 weeks, revealing clearer, more even skin beneath.
Patients with melasma, sunspots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, freckles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or fine lines
Particularly valuable for patients with olive or darker skin tones where traditional Q-switched lasers carry a higher risk of adverse pigmentation reactions
