What is PicoPlus Laser Treatment?
PicoPlus Laser treatment is a procedure that uses laser to remove pigmentation and redness and it also helps with skin rejuvenation. This is one of the most advanced treatments for removing undesirable pigmentation on the skin such as hyperpigmentation.

How does PicoPlus Laser work?
The PicoPlus laser offers 4 different wavelengths and multiple depth settings to treat common pigmentary concerns such as melasma, age spots, freckles, Hori’s Naevus, as well as to remove tattoos. Compared to nanosecond Q-switch lasers, this Pico laser’s significantly faster speeds enable it to effectively shatter melanin and ink into smaller particles, which are then cleared more easily by the body, resulting in faster improvements within fewer treatment sessions. Pigment particles that were previously too ‘large’ to clear even after being broken down by Q-switch lasers can be further fragmented by the PicoPlus laser, which is why further improvement can sometimes be seen in pigmentation that has stagnated. As the PicoPlus laser fires so quickly, there is minimal heat damage to surrounding tissues, which effectively reduces the chances of negative side effects such as
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

b. Scars and Skin Rejuvenation:
When compared to traditional lasers like the fractional CO2, the PicoPlus is able to effectively resurface the skin with less downtime and discomfort. To achieve this, the laser is focused with a special lens which creates micro-cavities below the surface of the skin. The body sees these micro-cavities as injuries and produces collagen to repair them. This not only helps to even out the skin surface but also boosts collagen production for long lasting skin texture improvement. This process, also known as Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown or Cold Rejuvenation, avoids injury to the skin surface and thus the prolonged downtime and discomfort associated with traditional lasers like the CO2. The enhanced turnover of skin cells and resulting healthier skin gives a fairer, brighter, more even toned appearance
What conditions does PicoPlus treat?
With 4 wavelengths, PicoPlus is able to treat multiple conditions which include pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles and tattoo removal. PicoPlus is recommended for treatment of
What are the benefits of PicoPlus?
PicoPlus is also safer, faster and more effective compared to earlier generations of skin laser. PicoPlus is able to break down pigments into finer particles. With each light pulse delivered at a rate faster, each treatment session can be completed faster and more effectively.
The treatment downtime on the PicoPlus is also lessened. You will notice the following benefits of a PicoPlus treatment:
- Glowing youthful-looking skin
- Lightening of skin, reduces or eliminates the appearance of age-spots and pigment, including Melasma and Nevus of Ota
- Improve overall tone and texture of skin
- Reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction in appearance of acne scars
- No daily, messy creams
- Quick and comfortable procedure
