Pico laser for pigmentation: what Dr Nudrat says
Dr Nudrat, an aesthetic consultant, explains how pico laser treats pigmentation. Its ultra-short pulses of laser energy break pigment into tiny, powder-like fragments that the body can clear more easily, while the skin around them is protected. It can also treat lip pigmentation.
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.
