Our PICO laser utilizes advanced photoacoustic laser technology designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted pigment and tattoo ink while protecting the surrounding skin. Unlike traditional lasers that rely primarily on heat, PICO delivers ultra short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second. These rapid pulses create a mechanical impact that shatters pigment into microscopic particles without excessive thermal damage to the skin.
Because the energy is delivered so quickly, it targets pigment at its source while minimizing inflammation and downtime. The body’s natural lymphatic system then clears away the fragmented pigment over time, revealing clearer, more even toned skin.
PICO is ideal for patients who want to correct discoloration, remove tattoos, or brighten uneven skin tone without aggressive downtime. It is appropriate for a wide range of skin types and is especially beneficial for individuals who have not responded well to traditional pigment treatments.
Most patients describe the sensation as quick snapping pulses against the skin. Treatments are fast, and discomfort is typically mild and well-tolerated. A topical numbing agent may be used depending on the treatment area. You may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, and pigment will gradually lighten as the body clears the treated particles over the following weeks.
With each session, skin appears clearer, more balanced, and refreshed.
