The picosecond laser delivers laser energy in ultra-short pulses, producing an outstanding effect on the skin by removing excessive pigmentation, erasing fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring, shrinking pores, while stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.

Adverse effects can include discomfort, redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, blistering, scabbing, crusting and bruising, which are usually transient and resolve without intervention. Possible adverse effects include pustules, skin burns, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scarring, infection and allergic reaction.

A series of 3-4 treatments is recommended. Treatment intervals are 2-4 weeks but can be up to 8 weeks for darker skin types. Each patient is unique and will be evaluated prior to treatment.

Pico Laser treatment is a safe and effective laser treatment. Pico laser treatments demand no downtime. Some may experience redness and swelling, but this should subside within a few hours. Patients can usually go about their day immediately. 

Most patients should expect to see the benefits of Pico laser treatments for at least six months before they start to disappear. The effects of this treatment are deemed permanent for specific problems, such as scar and tattoo removal.
