Pico Laser

Pico Laser is an advanced laser system developed to treat skin spots, tattoos, freckles, and uneven skin tone. It operates with ultra-short laser pulses called “picoseconds” (one trillionth of a second). These rapid pulses break down pigment particles (color cells) without causing heat damage to the skin. Picolaser can be used for various purposes such as melasma, sunspots, freckles, birthmarks, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation (picosecond rejuvenation). Considered a superior version of the Nd Yag Laser, it offers both effective and skin-friendly treatment options.

What is Picolaser?

Picolaser is an advanced laser system that delivers laser energy to the skin at picosecond speed (one trillionth of a second). It breaks pigment cells into microscopic fragments, which are naturally cleared by the body. Since it works through a photomechanical effect rather than thermal energy, it does not cause heat damage to the skin. This makes it safe for both sensitive and darker skin types. Picolaser is used not only for pigmentation treatments such as spot removal, tattoo elimination, freckles, and melasma, but also for skin rejuvenation and pore tightening. 💡

How is Picolaser Applied?

Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic cream may be applied if necessary. The device is adjusted to the appropriate wavelength for the targeted area (such as 532 nm, 755 nm, or 1064 nm). Laser pulses are delivered millions of times per second, breaking down pigment particles microscopically. The procedure lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Mild redness or warmth may occur afterward but resolves quickly. Sunscreen use is recommended after treatment. ✅

Mechanism of Action

Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, Picolaser works through a photomechanical effect — using pressure waves to shatter pigment cells into tiny fragments. The body naturally removes these particles through the immune system. This process also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity. Therefore, Picolaser is effective not only in pigmentation treatments but also in rejuvenation and pore tightening. 📌

Advantages of Picolaser

– No thermal damage to the skin, resulting in minimal downtime. – Safe for all skin types. – Effective in treating pigmentation, tattoos, freckles, and acne scars. – Helps achieve an even and radiant skin tone. – When combined with Fractional Laser or Gold Needle Radiofrequency, skin rejuvenation results are enhanced. – Patients can return to daily life immediately after the session. 🌿

When is Picolaser Used?

Picolaser is applied to treat pigment-related skin problems and to improve overall skin quality. The most common indications include: – Sunspots (lentigo) – Melasma (pregnancy mask) – Freckles and birthmarks – Tattoo removal – Acne and scar treatment – Skin tone correction and brightening – Pore tightening

Combination Treatments

Picolaser can be combined with other energy-based systems for enhanced results. When used with Fractional CO₂ Laser, it targets deeper scars more effectively. When combined with Gold Needle Radiofrequency, it promotes both skin renewal and tightening. Pairing it with Laser Genesis or Nd Yag Laser helps reduce redness and balance overall skin tone. 💎

Session Frequency and Results

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition treated. For pigmentation, 3–5 sessions are typical, while tattoo removal may require 6–10. Sessions are spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Skin brightening is noticeable from the first session, and pigmentation gradually fades. For maintenance, 1–2 annual sessions are recommended. 🌟

Aftercare Instructions

After treatment, mild redness or warmth may occur and subside within 1–2 days. Avoid hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and direct sunlight for 48 hours. Use sunscreen regularly and keep the skin moisturized. Barrier-strengthening creams enhance the treatment effect for pigmentation issues. 💧
