What is Pico Laser Treatment?

The word “Pico” in Pico Laser refers to picoseconds—one trillionth of a second!
 Pico Laser is a non-ablative pigment laser that delivers ultra-short pulses to the skin.

This treatment utilizes multiple wavelengths to target tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesions, acne, wrinkles, and scars. It works through a pure photoacoustic effect that breaks down pigmentation and ink particles without damaging the surrounding tissues. Due to its ultra-fast pulse durations and high peak energy, this laser can effectively treat even deep-seated pigmentation and larger treatment areas.

What is the Discovery Pico Laser Series?

The word “Pico” in Pico Laser refers to picoseconds = one trillionth of a second!
Pico Laser is a non-ablative pigment laser that fires at your skin with ultra-short pulse durations.
Discovery Pico Laser Series is the most powerful PICO laser with 3 wavelengths for tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesion(s), acne, wrinkles and scars. It produces a pure photoacoustic action that shatters inks and pigmentations while causing no damage to the surrounding tissues. Because of its shorter pulse durations and high peak strength, this picosecond laser can effectively pulverize even the deepest skin colors and big areas.

How does the Discovery Pico Laser Series work?

Currently, the majority of the aesthetic clinics in Singapore are using the traditional Q-Switched lasers that break down the pigmented particles in granules. Discovery Pico Laser series, which works in Picosecond pulses, can fragment the pigmentation into thin “dust”, which is easier for your body’s immune system to remove. As a result, the pigmentation will be lightened.

How Does Pico Laser Treatment Work?

Most aesthetic clinics in Singapore use traditional Q-switched lasers that break down pigmented particles into granules. Pico Laser, which operates in picosecond pulses, fragments pigmentation into fine “dust,” making it easier for the body’s immune system to clear. As a result, pigmentation is lightened more effectively.

Why choose the Discovery Pico Laser Series over other Picosecond Lasers?

In Singapore, there are mainly 3 types of Pico Laser- The Discovery Pico, PicoSure, and PicoWay. PicoWay uses the compound Nd:YAG to generate the laser beam, while PicoSure is the only Alexandrite picosecond laser currently available.
The Discovery Pico Laser Series on the other hand is a second-generation Pico Laser which generates the highest peak power, producing more effective results faster with lesser sessions required. Hence, the Discovery Pico Laser Series is especially suited for individuals with busy schedules who want to look their best since PicoToning allows clients to return to their regular activities quickly. To achieve the best result, we would recommend clients to try HydraFacial and PicoToning together.
Discovery Pico Laser Series is now being reviewed as the most powerful dual wavelength Pico Laser in Singapore and worldwide.

Why Choose Pico Laser Over Other Picosecond Lasers?

In Singapore, the main types of Pico Lasers include Nd:YAG-based and Alexandrite-based options. Some lasers use Nd:YAG to generate the laser beam, while others use Alexandrite technology.

A second-generation Pico Laser delivers higher peak power, producing more effective results in fewer sessions. This makes it especially suitable for individuals with busy schedules who want to see visible improvements quickly.

For optimal results, combining Pico Laser treatments with other skin rejuvenation treatments can further enhance skin clarity and texture.

FAQs

Each session may take about 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area and the condition being treated.

The number of treatments required varies, depending on the condition and kind of pigmentation. The nature of pigmentation, skin type, skin health, hormones, sun exposure, acne, and other factors etc all influence the treatment’s outcome.
On the average to achieve the best ‘before and after result’’ from Pico Laser treatment, about 4-6 treatments are often required.
Depending on the skin condition, our doctor may recommend weekly treatment for the first month; followed by once every 2-4 weeks for maintenance.

After removal, most pigmentation should not return.
However, new pigmentation may develop as a result of sun exposure, ageing and hormonal changes.
As such, it is recommended to adopt good daily skincare habits and go for regular Pico Laser maintenance treatments to prevent new pigmentation from forming.

This would be based on an individual’s pain tolerance ability and location of the pigmented lesion(s). Most of our patients are able to cope with the laser’s sessions without much discomfort. During the treatment, the laser is usually described as feelings of tiny warm pricks on the skin.

After Pico Laser, you can return to work or resume daily activities immediately. However, we would recommend our patients to avoid prolonged / intentional sun exposure for a week after the procedure so as to avoid hyper-pigmentation. Patients may sometimes be prescribed with Creams for this purpose as well.
Some patients may experience greying/browning/darkening of the existing pigmentation before it fades off. This is normal and one should not be concerned as it will eventually fade off.

There are no known side effects.
