What is a pico laser, and what can it treat?
A pico laser fires pulses lasting trillionths of a second (picoseconds). The pulses shatter pigment by pressure rather than heat, so pigment breaks into finer particles with less risk to surrounding skin. The same laser can be used in three ways: spot treatment, toning and fractional resurfacing.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, pico toning and pico fractional each cost ₩150,000 per session; spot removal is priced by size and number at consultation.
Who Pico Laser suits, and who it doesn't
We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.
Often a good fit
- Freckles, sun spots and age spots
- Melasma and uneven tone (toning mode)
- Post-acne marks
- Tattoo and birthmark pigment
- Texture and enlarged pores (fractional mode)
Probably not the first choice
- Mainly redness or vessels, where V-beam fits
- Raised moles needing evaluation or removal (see mole removal)
- A fresh tan or sunburn
- Deep acne scars, where Potenza may help more
- Photosensitising medication without doctor review
One laser, three modes
Spot mode: higher energy on individual spots; small scabs form and fall off in about a week.
Toning mode: low energy across the face for melasma and dull tone; see pico toning.
Fractional mode: micro-zones beneath the skin stimulate collagen for texture; see pico fractional prices.
