A Picosecond laser is an advanced cosmetic laser that delivers ultra-short bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second (picoseconds). Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat (photothermal) to burn away imperfections, Picosecond technology uses a photoacoustic effect. This means it delivers energy so quickly that it creates a pressure wave, shattering targeted pigment or ink into tiny, dust-like particles without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

Benefits & What It Treats

Picosecond Laser is a versatile treatment suitable for multiple skin concerns:

• Tattoo Removal – Effectively breaks down stubborn ink, including difficult colours like blue and green
• Pigmentation & Sun Damage – Targets freckles, age spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone
• Skin Rejuvenation – Softens fine lines and improves overall skin texture
• Acne Scars – Stimulates collagen to repair and smooth the skin
• Pore Refinement – Helps tighten skin and reduce enlarged pores

How It Works

The treatment works quickly and precisely to target problem areas while keeping surrounding skin safe:

1. Breakdown – Laser energy shatters pigment into tiny particles
2. Removal – Your body naturally flushes these particles away
3. Renewal – Stimulates collagen and elastin for smoother, healthier skin

What to Expect

• Treatment Time: 15–30 minutes depending on the area
• Sensation: Feels like a light snap (numbing cream available)
• Downtime: Minimal, with slight redness for 24–48 hours
• Results: Visible improvement after one session, with best results in 3–6 treatments

Aftercare

To achieve the best results, follow these simple steps:

• Protect Your Skin: Apply SPF 30+ daily and avoid sun exposure
• Avoid Heat: No hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24–48 hours
• Moisturise: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser
• Do Not Pick: Allow skin to naturally shed if mild flaking occurs

• Faster Results – Fewer sessions compared to traditional lasers
• Safer for More Skin Types – Lower risk of pigmentation, even for darker skin tones
