Pico Laser Treatment in Singapore

What Is Pico Laser?

Pico laser is a non-ablative laser treatment that delivers energy in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). Initially developed for tattoo removal, it’s now widely used to treat pigmentation, acne scars, uneven tone, and texture.

At Bioskin Luxe Aesthetic Clinic, we offer the Luxe Picolaser, a 15- to 20-minute treatment adjusted to support a variety of skin goals.

What Can Pico Laser Treat?

Here are all the conditions Pico laser can treat, especially when skincare alone is not enough.

*Only when pigmentation is a key cause. 

How Does Pico Laser Work?

Pico laser relies on a photomechanical effect: a rapid pressure-based response that breaks down pigment particles into tiny fragments. This allows the body to clear them efficiently, with less irritation to the surrounding skin.

Additionally, the laser stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving your skin’s firmness, texture, and clarity over a series of sessions.

Benefits of Pico Laser Treatment

We believe treatments should be effective while also considering your skin’s barrier and recovery capacity. Our Luxe Picolaser is designed to be:

• Multi-functional: Targets pigment, texture, and tone in one session
• Safe for melanin-rich skin: Reduced risk of PIH due to low-heat delivery
• Minimally invasive: Most experience only mild redness, if any
• Customisable: Settings are adjusted to suit your skin at each visit
• Naturally progressive: Results build gradually for a clear, even complexion

When integrated into a personalised treatment plan, pico laser can help you maintain a fresher, balanced appearance long-term with minimal downtime. 

Pico Laser vs Other Laser Treatments

Laser treatments differ based on how they interact with pigment and skin tissue, and what concerns they’re designed to address.

Pico Laser vs Q-Switched Laser

Both pico and Q-switched lasers are non-ablative and commonly used for pigmentation and tattoo removal.

• Q-switched lasers deliver energy in nanoseconds and tend to rely more on heat-based delivery.
• Pico laser delivers energy in picoseconds and relies more on pressure-based delivery.

This difference may influence your recovery time and whether you’re suitable for the treatment, especially if you’re prone to PIH.

Pico Laser vs Fractional Laser

Fractional lasers are often used for resurfacing. They create controlled micro-injuries in the skin surface to trigger renewal, which may help with wrinkles, deeper scars, and pronounced texture concerns. Fractional lasers require a longer downtime for the redness and peeling to subside. 

As a non-ablative treatment, pico laser does not create these surface injuries. 

How Many Pico Laser Sessions Are Needed?

The number of pico laser sessions you’ll need depends on what you’re treating and how your skin responds over time. You may follow this guide:

• Pigmentation commonly improves within three to six sessions, depending on pigment depth and spread.
• Acne scars and texture often need five or more sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
• Skin rejuvenation or tone correction may take two to three sessions, especially for subtle brightening.

Pico Laser Treatment Cost in Singapore

The price of a pico laser treatment in Singapore can range from around $150 to $800, depending on the factors below.

Pico Laser for Under-Eye & Rejuvenation

Dark circles and fine lines often appear first under the eyes. If pigmentation is the cause, pico laser can help by targeting melanin clusters. At Bioskin Luxe Clinic, we customise our Luxe Picolaser settings for this delicate area.

Combine Pico Laser With Targeted Under-Eye Treatments

If pigmentation and fine lines are behind your dark circles, we may recommend combining pico laser with targeted under-eye treatments to improve the tone and texture of your under-eyes. 

• Dual Lift Eye Rejuvenation: Uses low-power laser and injectable collagen boosters to address fine lines and under-eye hollowness, as well as dark circles.
• Korean PN Eye: Uses polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid to support under-eye hydration and skin repair, especially when dryness and crepiness make fine lines more visible.

Recovery, Downtime & Aftercare

Pico laser is generally associated with minimal downtime, although recovery can vary based on the area treated.

Immediately After Treatment

• You may feel mild warmth or tingling.
• Temporary redness or slight swelling can occur, and often settles within a few hours.

Short-Term Effects

For some, the treated pigmentation may darken slightly before fading or flaking over the next few days.

Post-Laser Skincare Tips

• Use gentle cleansers and fragrance-free moisturisers.
• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and AHAs for three to five days.
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure and intense heat, like a sauna or hot shower.
