What is Pico Laser Technology?

Pico laser technology is a non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that can be used to address the majority of common skin imperfections, including spots caused by sun damage and acne scarring. Pico can also be used to address tattoos in pigment within the skin.

Pico technology is one of the newest modes of skin rejuvenation and is regarded as one of the most advanced laser treatments currently available on the market. It delivers noticeable, permanent results in fewer sessions than comparable options and is safe, requires minimal downtime, and can be used across the entire face and body.

How does Pico laser work?

Pico laser technology allows for the quick, effective, highly selective treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoos (in treatable colors). This laser also enhances elastin production in the skin, resulting in a softer, fuller, more youthful complexion.

The Pico laser works by sending ultra-short pulses of energy – without heat – to targeted problem areas. The laser’s impact on the skin is intense, shattering the problem skin pigment or particles. These are then eliminated naturally by the body.

The Pico laser is extremely precise, allowing the practitioner to achieve the optimal photomechanical effect. Although its pulses of energy are highly concentrated, the laser’s effect is gentle to the outer layer of the skin. Pico treatments do not burn the skin – patients typically experience very little or no discomfort during the course of their treatment.

Pico Laser treatments can help improve:

  • Facial Redness

  • Stimulates youth-enhancing collagen growth

  • Enlarged Pores

  • Uneven Skin Texture

  • Excess Brown Pigment (hyperpigmentation and melasma)

  • Acne scarring

  • Improves the overall health of all skin types.
