What is a pico laser?
Pico lasers emit extremely short pulses measured in picoseconds. The rapid pulse creates a strong pressure effect that breaks pigment into very fine particles, which the body then removes gradually. Because less heat builds up in the surrounding skin, pico lasers can treat pigment with a lower risk of irritation than many older lasers.
Used in a low-energy toning mode across the whole face, a pico laser helps even out tone and brighten dull skin. Some devices also have focusing lenses that create tiny areas of skin renewal to improve texture and the look of pores. It is often compared with Nd:YAG laser toning; the doctor chooses the device that suits your pigment.
Who is a good candidate for pico laser?
- Freckles, sunspots or uneven pigment
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Post-acne dark marks
- Mild texture concerns and visible pores
- People wanting minimal downtime
Pico laser treatment is usually postponed after a recent tan or sunburn, during pregnancy, with active skin infection or inflammation, or while taking certain photosensitising medicines. Melasma needs especially gentle settings. Any new or changing spot should be checked medically first. For deep acne scars, the doctor may suggest other treatments.

What are the results and recovery like?
After pico toning the skin is usually slightly pink for a few hours. When distinct spots are targeted, they may darken and flake off over about a week. Brightness and tone improve gradually with each session, and most people need a course spaced a few weeks apart for an even result. Daily sunscreen is essential to protect results, and outcomes vary by skin type and pigment depth.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor assesses your pigment type, depth and skin tone and sets the plan and number of sessions.
-
Preparation
The skin is cleansed, eyes are protected and numbing cream is applied if needed.
-
Laser
The pico laser is passed over the treatment area; most people feel light snapping or warmth.
-

Tips for international patients
- Avoid tanning before and after your sessions.
- Ask on WhatsApp how many sessions can fit into your stay.
- If spots are being targeted, book early in your trip so any flaking settles before you fly.
- Keep using high-SPF sunscreen after you return home.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between pico laser and other lasers?
Pico lasers use much shorter pulses than nanosecond lasers, breaking pigment into finer particles with less heat. Which device is more suitable depends on your skin and pigment.
How many pico laser sessions do I need?
It depends on the concern. Toning for tone and brightness usually needs a course of several sessions a few weeks apart.
Does pico laser hurt?
Most people feel a light snapping sensation. Numbing cream can be applied for comfort.
Is there downtime after pico laser?
Usually minimal. Mild redness generally fades within hours, and targeted spots may flake for about a week.
Can pico laser treat melasma?
Low-energy pico toning can be part of a melasma plan, but melasma needs gentle settings and ongoing care.
