How Does Pico Laser Work?

Unlike traditional lasers that rely heavily on heat, Luxe Picolaser works primarily through a photoacoustic effect, meaning the pigment is shattered using energy vibration rather than thermal energy. This ensures minimal heat, less irritation, and reduced downtime.

When the picosecond pulses reach areas with excess melanin—such as pigmentation spots, acne marks, or tattoos—the rapid energy breaks the pigment into extremely fine particles. These tiny fragments are then naturally cleared away by the body, resulting in brighter, clearer, and more even-toned skin.

PicoLaser also stimulates collagen production through controlled skin disruption without overheating the surrounding tissue. This encourages natural skin renewal, helping to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.

Higher photoacoustic effect: More efficient pigment shattering into microscopic fragments for easier clearance.
Lower photothermal effect: Less heat on the skin, reducing irritation and downtime.
Gentle yet effective: Safe and suitable for all skin types with minimal discomfort.

Technology & Mechanism

Traditional lasers work through photothermal action, using heat to target pigmentation. This heat affects both the pigment and surrounding tissue, helping to stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production.

Luxe Picolaser, however, uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter pigmentation without relying on heat. This precise, high-speed approach minimizes the risk of thermal damage, making it a gentler option for the skin.

Key Difference:

Picolaser: Delivers energy in ultra-short bursts, targeting pigment precisely while sparing surrounding tissue.

Traditional Laser: Relies on heat to break down pigment and stimulate skin renewal.

FAQ

Luxe Picolaser is generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild tingling during treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to enhance comfort. While individual pain tolerance varies, the procedure is designed to be comfortable, with minimal discomfort throughout the session.

Luxe Picolaser is a non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience: Temporary redness or swelling

These typically resolve within 2–3 days. Rarely, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation may occur, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed. Adhering to professional guidance ensures a safe, smooth recovery and optimal results.

Proper aftercare is essential to maximize results and minimize side effects. After your Luxe Picolaser treatment:

Protect Your Skin: Avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Moisturize: Keep the treated area hydrated to support healing.

Avoid Intense Exercise: Refrain from strenuous physical activity for a few days to prevent increased redness, swelling, or bleeding.

Gentle Skincare: Use mild products and avoid harsh exfoliants during recovery.

Following your practitioner’s aftercare instructions helps maintain results and prolong the benefits of your treatment.
