Pico Laser: A Gateway to Naturally Brighter, Smoother Skin
Pico Laser: A Gateway to Naturally Brighter, Smoother Skin
Pico Laser is one of the advanced treatments that helps achieve naturally clear and smooth skin. If you’re interested in this procedure, Napassaree Aesthetic Clinic invites you to learn more about it.
There are many ways to achieve brighter skin, and one of them is Pico Laser-a facial laser treatment that helps address various skin concerns such as acne marks, acne scars, melasma, and freckles. If you are wondering whether this treatment is safe, how many types there are, and whether it suits your skin concerns, let’s explore the answers together.
What Is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser, or Picosecond Laser, is a modern aesthetic innovation in the ultrashort laser category. It delivers high-energy laser pulses in an extremely short duration-one trillionth of a second-targeting problematic skin areas.
It works by breaking down melanin pigments into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This helps improve skin tone, reduce dark spots, acne scars, melasma, freckles, and even tattoos.
Additionally, Pico Laser stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity, making the skin smoother and brighter-even after the first session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed?
Results can be seen from the first session-skin appears brighter and smoother. However, for deeper issues, 5-6 sessions may be required for optimal results. Consultation with a doctor is recommended.
Does Pico Laser make the skin thinner?
No. Older laser technologies that removed outer skin layers could thin the skin, but Pico Laser targets deeper layers without damaging the surface, so it does not make the skin thinner. Regular sunscreen use is still essential.
Is Pico Laser painful?
You may feel mild irritation similar to general laser treatments, but it is not painful. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort.
