Pico laser for hyperpigmentation and dark spots
How the picosecond laser treats hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Below: what the treatment involves and what to expect.
Pico laser for pigmentation: what our doctor says
Pico laser sends very short pulses of light into the skin that target melanin, the dark pigment. It breaks up dark spots and hyperpigmentation without damaging the skin around them, so overall pigmentation fades. The same laser is used for tattoo removal. It can help with dark knuckles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation and dark lips.
Is Pico Laser right for you?
Pico laser (picosecond laser) is a skin laser that fires pulses lasting trillionths of a second, breaking pigment into tiny particles your body then clears away. Each session takes 10–30 minutes with little downtime, from about Rs 12,000 a session for the full face in a course of 3.
Best for sun spots, freckles, melasma, dark lips, a dark neck or underarms, and uneven skin tone.
