Pico Laser

What is Pico Laser Treatment?

Pico Laser treatment is a non-invasive laser procedure commonly used for concerns such as pigmentation, acne scars, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and tattoo removal. Using ultra-short picosecond pulses, the laser delivers energy into targeted areas of the skin with minimal heat exposure to surrounding tissue.

Compared to traditional nanosecond lasers, the shorter pulse duration allows pigment particles to be broken down into finer fragments that the body may gradually clear over time. At the same time, the treatment is intended to support collagen activity as part of the skin’s natural repair response, depending on individual skin condition and response.

Many individuals consider Pico Laser treatment in Singapore for concerns related to skin clarity, pigmentation, and overall skin texture.

Treatment Areas

Pico Laser can address a wide range of skin concerns on the face and body:

With Pico Laser treatment, these areas can be treated precisely to address concerns related to uneven tone and skin texture.

Who Is Pico Laser Treatment For?

Individuals with Pigmentation Concerns

Pico Laser treatment may be suitable for individuals experiencing melasma, freckles, sun spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or uneven skin tone.

Those with acne scarring, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture may consider treatment as part of a skin rejuvenation plan.

Some patients in Singapore opt for Pico Laser treatment as a non-surgical option for supporting collagen activity and addressing dull-looking skin with downtime varying depending on individual response.

The treatment may also be considered for concerns such as fine lines, mild laxity, and uneven skin texture associated with skin ageing.

A consultation with a qualified doctor is important to assess skin type, pigmentation depth, and treatment suitability. The treatment may be used on various skin types following clinical evaluation.

Patients with active skin infections, open wounds, recent sunburn, or certain skin sensitivities may need to postpone treatment until medically appropriate.

Cost of Pico Laser Treatment in Singapore

From
$380

The cost of Pico Laser treatment in Singapore varies depending on factors such as the treatment area, type of pigmentation or scarring, skin condition, and the number of sessions recommended.

At Dr. Valentin Low Aesthetic & Laser Clinic, treatment plans are tailored according to individual skin concerns and clinical assessment.

A consultation is recommended to determine suitability and discuss the most appropriate treatment plan for your skin concerns.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

The doctor assesses the skin, type of pigmentation, and acne scarring to create a tailored treatment plan.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

The area is cleansed, and topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

Step 3: Laser Energy Delivery

Using a 1064nm wavelength (or appropriate wavelength depending on the condition), the picosecond laser delivers ultra-short pulses to the targeted area, delivering energy to areas of pigmentation and supporting collagen activity, depending on treatment indication.

Step 4: Targeted Treatment by Area

The laser is applied strategically to affected areas, such as the under-eye region, cheeks, or tattoos in accordance with clinical assessment and treatment planning.

Step 5: Gradual Results

Pigmentation may gradually lighten over time as the body naturally eliminates the fragmented pigment, while collagen remodeling may support changes in skin tone and texture over time.

Step 6: Follow-Up & Maintenance

Follow-up consultations monitor progress, and maintenance sessions may be scheduled to optimise long-term results.

Your Pico Laser Journey

Pico Laser treatment works using precise picosecond laser energy to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen. The procedure follows a structured approach:

Risks & Side Effects

Pico Laser treatment is generally well tolerated. Temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, or tingling in the treated area. Some patients may notice darkening or greying of existing pigmentation before it fades, which is a normal part of the healing process. Rare side effects include mild blistering or pigment changes, which are usually temporary.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery from Pico Laser treatment varies between individuals. Many individuals are able to resume routine activities shortly after treatment, depending on individual response.

Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

Patients are generally advised to minimise prolonged sun exposure for at least one week following treatment, as UV exposure may contribute to pigmentation recurrence.

Use Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Daily

Daily sunscreen use is important after Pico Laser treatments, especially in Singapore, to help protect the skin and reduce the risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes.

Keep the Skin Hydrated

Moisturisers or prescribed creams may be recommended to support skin recovery and comfort following treatment.

Avoid Harsh Skincare Products Temporarily

Patients are usually advised to avoid exfoliants, retinoids, strong acids, and abrasive skincare products temporarily while the skin recovers.

Allow Time for Gradual Skin Renewal

Pigmentation and skin texture changes develop gradually over several weeks as the body clears fragmented pigment and collagen remodeling progresses, with results varying depending on individual response.
