Pico Laser (Refine Your Skin From Within)

· Those in Tokyo who want to remove dark spots, freckles, or age-related pigmentation.
· Those who want to improve melasma or stubborn hyperpigmentation.
· Those who want to reduce acne and the appearance of acne scars.
· Those who wish to tighten pores and enhance overall skin clarity.
· Those who wish to achieve a smoother, more even skin texture.

Pico Laser is a cutting-edge, non-invasive laser treatment designed to target skin pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin aging with precision and minimal downtime. Utilizing ultra-short pulses measured in picoseconds, this advanced technology breaks down unwanted pigment without damaging surrounding skin tissues, making it safer and more effective than traditional laser treatments.

Pico Laser stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, helping to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and refine pores. It is also effective in fading melasma, freckles, and sunspots, while promoting a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion. Safe for a wide range of skin types, it delivers smoother, radiant, and healthier-looking skin after just a few sessions.

Pico Laser works by delivering ultra-short pulses of laser energy – measured in picoseconds – directly to the skin using a handheld device attached to an advanced laser system. These pulses create a precise photomechanical effect that breaks down pigmentation and skin irregularities without damaging surrounding tissue. The laser is gently passed over the treatment area in a controlled, systematic motion, allowing the energy to penetrate beneath the surface and target specific skin layers.

The procedure is performed using high-spec equipment such as the PicoWay, a CE-certified laser platform equipped with multiple wavelengths for tailored treatments. Picoway offers three wavelengths; 1064nm, 785nm, and 532nm, making it suitable for various skin types and pigment concerns. A session typically lasts around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the area being treated. No anesthesia is required, and the skin is usually cleansed beforehand, with protective eyewear provided during the procedure to ensure safety and comfort throughout.
