Pico Laser Singapore
FDA-Approved Pico Laser Treatment in Singapore; for a clean and clear-looking skin!
What is Pico Laser in Singapore?
Pico laser, short for picosecond laser, is a widely used dermatological treatment designed to address various skin concerns with precision. By delivering ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), it targets pigmentation, skin texture, and tattoo removal while minimising heat damage to surrounding tissues.
Pico laser is known for its ability to target pigment-related issues, such as:
- Pigmentation issues (like melasma, freckles, age spots)
- Tattoo removal
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
How Does Pico Laser Work?
Pico laser operates on the principle of ultra-short pulses, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). Unlike traditional lasers that emit longer pulses, the Pico laser’s extremely brief bursts of energy shatter pigmented particles or target tattoo ink with remarkable precision. The rapid and intense energy delivery creates a photomechanical effect, causing the targeted pigments to break into smaller, more easily eliminated particles by the body’s natural processes.
What are the benefits of Pico Laser Treatment?
- Brightens and whitens skin for a radiant glow
- Improves uneven skin tone, texture and blemishes
- Minimises pores for a smooth and clear complexion
- Reduce fine lines, vascular and pigmented lesions
- Stimulate collagen production and promote collagen synthesis
Pico Laser is suitable for both men and women dealing with:
- Stubborn pigmentation (e.g., sunspots, melasma)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Acne scarring
- Uneven texture or dull skin
A professional consultation is recommended to assess your skin and customise your treatment plan.

| Effect on Pigment | Photoacoustic (mechanical shattering) | Photothermal (heat-based destruction) |
| Effectiveness | More exact, removes deeper pigment | Less effective for deep pigmentation |
| Side Effects | Minimal heat damage, lower risk of PIH | Higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) |
