What is Pico Laser?
Skin pigmentation can cause us to look older and more tired. Our affiliated clinic offers the Pico Laser to treat pigmentation and rejuvenate your skin while improving your skin tone. It is a well-known laser that can treat address skin problems such as melasma, sun spots, age spots, freckles, and birthmark.
How It Works
Pico Laser is a non-ablative laser that is mainly used for pigmentation and acne scar removal. This laser works at a wavelength of 1064 nm and can deliver up to 1.8 GW of power, making it the most powerful laser in the treatment of pigmentation. The system breaks down pigmentation into much smaller fragments compared to a Q-Switched Laser (nanosecond laser), which enables your skin to clear pigmentation fragments faster and easier, reducing the total number of treatments required. After your pigmentation has been broken down into fragments, they are removed by the skin's immune system.
