Pico Laser

Advanced Pigmentation & Tattoo Removal With Picosecond Technology

Pico Laser is an advanced non-ablative laser treatment designed to target dermal pigmentation and unwanted tattoos. Using ultra-short picosecond pulses, it breaks pigment into tiny particles while generating minimal heat, helping to reduce the risk of scarring and pigment-related complications compared to older laser technologies.

What Is Pico Laser?

Unlike traditional lasers that rely primarily on heat, Pico Laser uses ultra-fast picosecond energy pulses to create a photo-acoustic shockwave effect. This allows pigment particles to be shattered into smaller fragments that can be naturally cleared by the body's immune system. Because less heat is generated, surrounding tissue is minimally affected.

How It Works

PS

Picosecond Pulses

Ultra-short bursts of laser energy are delivered in trillionths of a second.

💥

Shockwave Effect

The photo-acoustic effect shatters pigment particles into much smaller fragments.

🔥

Minimal Heat

Less thermal energy means reduced risk of collateral skin injury and downtime.

✨

Natural Clearance

The body's immune system gradually removes fragmented pigment over time.

What to Expect

  • The skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied for comfort.

  • The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied to maximise comfort throughout the procedure.

  • The laser is delivered across the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and prickly, with integrated cooling improving comfort.

  • Clarity II™ treatments are complemented with Illuminate Therapy to calm the skin and support recovery.

  • Most patients experience only mild redness or warmth which typically resolves within a few hours. Daily activities can usually be resumed immediately after treatment. Pigmented spots, where treated, may temporarily darken before naturally fading.
