Pico Fractional Laser: The Versatile Skin Laser to Treat Many Types Of Skin Condition

Pico Fractional Laser is a multi-function laser that combines ultra-short picosecond laser and HEXA Laser Induced Optical breakdown (LIOB) to treat various skin conditions, such as dull skin, acne, acne scars, rosacea, pigmentations, sun-damaged skin and melasma. It is non-invasive and delivers noticeable and improved results in fewer sessions than other comparables.

Pico Fractional Laser delivers ultra-short laser pulse - without heat - to targeted problem areas. It targets the skin’s pigment cells, breaking them into tiny particles, which are then safely and naturally eliminated by the body.

Although the pulses of energy are highly concentrated, the laser’s effect is gentle on the outer skin layer. Thus, potential discomfort and trauma to the skin are minimised, and the skin heals faster with less downtime.
