What is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser is a next-generation laser technology used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for a wide range of treatments.
It delivers ultra-short, picosecond laser pulses to target and remove skin imperfections, treat wrinkles, sun spots, pigmentation, tattoos, and other dermatological concerns.
One of the primary advantages of Pico Laser technology is its high precision with minimal impact on the surrounding healthy tissue. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results.
A consultation with your doctor is essential to determine the most suitable Pico Laser treatment based on your needs and expectations.

Patients generally report less pain and faster recovery compared to other laser methods.

As always, discussing your goals and skin needs with your doctor is crucial before proceeding with Pico Laser treatment.
Post-Treatment Care
After a Pico Laser session, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions to support healing and maximize results. General aftercare recommendations include:
- Sun Protection:
The skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight after treatment. Limit sun exposure and always use a high-SPF sunscreen.
- Skin Hygiene:
Follow the specialist’s guidelines regarding skincare. This may include avoiding makeup, avoiding heavy or irritating products, and keeping the treated area clean and dry.
- Hydration:
Keep the skin well-moisturized using a non-irritating hydrating cream to aid recovery.
- Avoid hot water:
Do not wash the treated area with hot water, as this may cause irritation.
Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor, and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
