Pico Laser Treatment

Pico laser technology represents a significant advancement in laser aesthetics, delivering ultra-short picosecond (trillionths of a second) pulses of energy that shatter pigment particles and stimulate dermal remodelling with significantly less thermal damage to surrounding tissue compared to traditional nanosecond lasers. This makes pico laser particularly well-suited to Asian skin types, which carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation…

At Mizu Aesthetic Clinic, the pico laser is used across a broad spectrum of skin concerns. For pigmentation, the laser's photoacoustic effect breaks up melanin clusters into micro-fragments that the body's lymphatic system then clears naturally, effectively treating sunspots, age spots, freckles, melasma, Hori's naevus, and post-acne marks. For skin rejuvenation, specialised diffractive lens array (DLA) handpieces scatter the laser energy to create…

The clinic's team of doctors customises each pico laser session based on the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type, the specific pigmentation pattern, and treatment history. Multiple wavelengths (typically 1064nm and 532nm) allow targeting of both superficial and deeper pigmentation layers. A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal pigmentation clearance, with maintenance sessions every 3–6 months. The procedure…
