What is Pico Laser?

A next-generation laser delivering energy in picosecond (trillionths of a second) pulses to shatter pigment

Less thermal damage and higher pigment destruction efficiency than traditional nanosecond lasers. Effective for melasma, dark spots, and tattoo removal.

Main causes & characteristics of Pico Laser

Picosecond laser is known as a laser that delivers energy in units of one trillionth of a second (picoseconds). Because energy is concentrated in an extremely short duration and directed at pigment particles, it is described as placing a relatively lower thermal burden on surrounding tissue. This mechanism makes it frequently mentioned for the management of melasma, dark spots, and tattoo pigment.

Managing Pico Laser

It is generally recommended to undergo multiple sessions depending on the type and depth of pigmentation, with intervals between sessions determined by the skin's recovery status. After treatment, sun protection and moisturizing may help prevent post-inflammatory repigmentation. Since different types of pigmented lesions may respond better to different devices, consulting a dermatologist before proceeding is advisable.

It is often mentioned alongside Q-switched laser, laser toning, and pigment management. It is discussed as a next-generation device compared to nanosecond lasers, with a different degree of thermal damage.

Everyday care tips

Temporary redness or scabbing may occur immediately after treatment, so it is best to leave the area alone and allow scabs to fall off naturally without picking at them.
