What Is PICO Laser?
PICO laser is a picosecond laser, which delivers energy in extremely short pulses. Rather than relying mainly on heat, these rapid pulses create a photoacoustic effect that breaks pigment into tiny particles the body can clear naturally.
The same technology also prompts the skin to renew itself, helping to refine texture, soften scarring and brighten the complexion, with less downtime than many traditional resurfacing lasers.
All treatment plans are designed following a thorough in-person consultation and individual skin assessment by our qualified practitioners.
What To Know Before You Book
A quick overview of what PICO laser treats, who it suits, what happens at your consult and what to expect afterwards.
What It Treats
PICO laser is used on the face, neck and décolletage to address:
- Sun damage, sun spots and age spots
- Pigmentation, freckling and uneven skin tone
- Shallow acne scarring and post-acne marks
- Rough texture and the appearance of enlarged pores
- Fine lines and dull, tired-looking skin
Who It Suits
PICO laser may suit you if you:
- Want to even out tone and brighten your complexion
- Have sun-related pigmentation on the face, neck or chest
- Would like to refine texture without long recovery time
- Are looking for treatment guided by a clinical skin analysis
- Understand that suitability depends on your skin type, history and medications, confirmed at your assessment
What Happens At The Consult
Your consult is complimentary and carries no obligation to proceed. It includes:
- A private conversation about your concerns and goals
- A review of your skin history, medications and sun exposure
- A complimentary VISIA skin analysis to map pigmentation, sun damage and texture
- A clear explanation of expected results, risks, downtime and aftercare
- A personalised treatment recommendation and pricing
Downtime
PICO laser typically involves minimal downtime. Individual healing varies, but you can generally expect:
- Mild redness or warmth for a few hours to a couple of days
- Possible light swelling or tightness straight after treatment
- Pigmented spots may darken and flake as they lift, over several days
- Most clients return to normal activities quickly, with makeup usually possible once the skin settles
- Strict sun protection is essential during healing and between sessions

Concerns We Address
PICO laser is a versatile option for a wide range of skin concerns. Each treatment plan is personalised based on your individual assessment and goals.
Sun Damage and Age Spots
Years of UV exposure show up as sun spots and uneven tone. PICO pulses target pigment to help fade these marks for a clearer complexion.
Pigmentation and Uneven Tone
Freckling, post-inflammatory marks and patchy discolouration can be broken down and gradually cleared, leaving a more even skin tone.
Acne Scarring
Fractional picosecond treatment stimulates renewal in the skin, helping to soften the look of shallow acne scars and marks over a series of sessions.
Uneven Skin Texture
Rough texture and the appearance of enlarged pores can be refined as the skin renews, for a smoother, more polished surface.
Fine Lines and Dullness
By encouraging collagen renewal, PICO laser may help soften fine lines and restore the brightness that tired, dull skin has lost.
Neck and Décolletage
The neck and chest often show sun damage first. Treating them alongside the face keeps your skin looking consistent from jawline to chest.

Recovery and Results
Downtime is typically minimal, with some redness or mild flaking possible. Skin continues to brighten and renew over the following weeks. Individual outcomes vary.
What This Treatment May Achieve for You
PICO laser offers a broad range of skin improvements in a clinically guided treatment. Results are individual and subject to professional assessment.
Brighter, More Even Tone
Pigment is broken into fine particles and cleared by the body, revealing a clearer, more luminous complexion.
Collagen Stimulation
The laser's pulses prompt the skin to renew, supporting smoother texture and softer fine lines over time.
Minimal Downtime
Because pulses are so short, treatment is gentler on surrounding skin, so most clients return to daily life quickly.
Non-Surgical Treatment
PICO laser is a non-surgical, in-clinic treatment performed by trained clinicians following an individual skin assessment.
Clinically Guided and Controlled
Performed by trained clinicians after a thorough assessment, with settings chosen carefully for your skin.
Data-Led, Personalised Plans
Your VISIA analysis helps us tailor treatment to your concerns and track visible progress as you go.
