What is PicoLaser Technology?
PicoLaser is a state-of-the-art laser technology that uses picosecond (one trillionth of a second) pulses to deliver high-intensity light energy to the skin.

The PicoLaser’s speed and efficiency allow it to treat a variety of skin issues, ranging from stubborn pigmentation and dark spots to tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation.
Unlike older technologies, PicoLaser can break down pigments and target deep skin layers with less heat, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and reducing the risk of side effects. This makes PicoLaser an ideal solution for those looking to address skin concerns with minimal discomfort and downtime.

The Treatment:
How It Works
PicoLaser technology works by emitting laser energy in extremely short pulses. These pulses are absorbed by the pigment or particles in the skin, which are shattered into smaller fragments. The body then naturally clears these fragments, leading to clearer, smoother skin. Here’s how the process works:
- Consultation: Before treatment, a skin care professional will evaluate your skin type and specific concerns to develop a tailored treatment plan.
- Treatment Session: During the treatment, the PicoLaser handpiece is applied to the skin. The ultra-fast pulses of energy target pigments or particles in the skin, shattering them without harming surrounding tissue.
- Healing Process: Your body will gradually clear the shattered pigment or particles, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion over time.
The precision of PicoLaser allows it to treat both surface-level pigmentation and deeper skin concerns with minimal discomfort.
