Pigmentation · Advanced Laser
The even, clear tone your skin is capable of
Stubborn pigmentation doesn't have to be permanent. Pico laser works beneath the surface to restore the clarity and evenness that lets you feel confident without concealer.
From uneven to clear.
Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing tone that's finally even — the sun spots quietened, the melasma faded, your natural skin clarity restored. Pico laser brings you closer to the complexion you've been protecting with SPF all along.
- Sun spots and dark marks fade to reveal clearer skin
- Melasma quietens with low-energy, controlled protocols
- Minimal downtime — your routine barely pauses
- Calibrated for your skin tone and pigment depth
— How it works
The treatment process
Pigment targeting
Short laser pulses may shatter pigment particles for gradual clearance by the body.
Low thermal footprint
Pico platforms aim to reduce excess heat, which may be relevant for sensitive or melasma-prone skin.
Maintenance & protection
Sun protection and adjunct skincare are essential for lasting clarity.
— Recovery
What to expect after Pico Laser
Recovery varies by individual, treatment intensity, and aftercare adherence. This is a general guide — your doctor will provide specific instructions.
Same day
Mild redness or warmth is common. SPF reapplied before leaving the clinic. Avoid heat and exercise for the rest of the day.
Day 1–2
Treated spots may briefly darken before fading. Skin may feel slightly dry. Use gentle cleanser and bland moisturiser.
Week 1–2
Pigment gradually flakes off or lightens. Resume routine skincare as advised. Avoid actives that irritate the skin.
Ongoing
Pigment improvement develops across the full session series. Daily SPF and maintenance topicals support and prolong the result.
Your doctor will provide a tailored aftercare guide. If you have questions about downtime or planning around an event, ask during your consultation.

— FAQ
Pico Laser FAQ
Melasma is chronic and influenced by hormones and sun exposure. Pico laser may help lighten pigmentation, but maintenance, sun protection, and supportive skincare are ongoing. Recurrence is possible without consistent care. Results vary.
Often 4–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, depending on pigment type and depth. Your doctor will monitor progress and adjust spacing or settings between sessions.
When performed by an experienced physician with appropriate settings, pico laser is commonly used on Asian skin types. Careful assessment and settings reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is more common in darker skin tones.
Most patients return to their routine the same day. You may see mild redness for a few hours and treated spots may temporarily darken before fading. Strict daily SPF is essential during the treatment course.
Some pigmentation — particularly melasma and sun-induced pigment — has a tendency to recur, especially with sun exposure, hormonal triggers, or inconsistent SPF. Your doctor will discuss realistic maintenance and rebound risk before treatment.
Yes. Pico laser is often planned alongside pigment-safe topical regimens, gentle peels for surface renewal, and chemical peels for clarity when appropriate. Your doctor will sequence the plan based on pigment behaviour.
Pigment fading is gradual across a series. Some patients notice changes within the first few sessions; others need the full course before improvement becomes obvious. Consistency and sun protection materially influence outcomes.
