Who this page is for
Pico laser is a powerful tool for the right pigment problem — and the wrong tool for some. This page helps you orient before consultation; your doctor will diagnose your pigmentation first, because the diagnosis decides the treatment.
Sun spots, freckles or age spots
Discrete brown spots that have deepened over the years — typically among the most responsive pigment concerns for pico laser.
Suspected melasma
Symmetrical patches on the cheeks or forehead need careful diagnosis — aggressive lasering can worsen melasma, so the protocol matters more than the machine.
Post-acne marks and uneven tone
Brown or grey marks left behind after breakouts, or a generally uneven complexion you want brightened safely.
Comparing pico laser clinics in Singapore

— What this involves
What pico laser treatment involves
Pico lasers deliver energy in ultra-short picosecond pulses that shatter pigment into fragments small enough for your body to clear, with less heat — and therefore less downtime and lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation — than older nanosecond lasers. That safety margin matters particularly for Asian skin tones.
The step that actually determines your result is the diagnosis. Sun spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and dermal pigment all behave differently: some clear in a few sessions, melasma needs a controlled, lower-energy approach, and some pigment problems should not be lasered at all. Your doctor examines your skin — often with magnification — before any plan is made.
A session typically takes 15–30 minutes after numbing cream. Expect mild redness for a few hours and darkened spots that flake off over days — that is the pigment lifting. Strict sun protection afterwards is non-negotiable for maintaining results.
What determines the price? The type and depth of pigment, the area treated, and the number of sessions your diagnosis requires. You receive a personalised, written quote after consultation at our Tanjong Pagar or East Coast clinic — never a package push on the day.

Common questions
It depends entirely on the diagnosis. Discrete sun spots may lighten meaningfully in a small number of sessions; melasma is managed over a longer, gentler programme; deeper dermal pigment takes more time. Your doctor will give you a realistic session estimate for your specific pigment type at consultation.
We do not publish prices because session needs vary by diagnosis — pigment type, depth, and area all affect the plan. You will receive a personalised, written quote after your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
Pico's ultra-short pulses deliver less heat than older lasers, which lowers — but does not eliminate — the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. Settings, spacing between sessions, and sun protection all matter. This is why treatment is doctor-performed with a protocol chosen for your skin type.
With numbing cream, most people describe the sensation as tolerable snapping or warmth. Afterwards, expect mild redness for a few hours and treated spots to darken and flake over several days. Most people return to normal activities immediately, with diligent sunscreen use.
No laser can honestly promise that. Melasma is a chronic, relapsing condition influenced by hormones and sun exposure. Pico laser can lighten it as part of a controlled management plan, but maintenance and strict sun protection are part of the deal — and you deserve to hear that before you spend money.
