Pico laser for melasma: what Dr Nudrat says
Dr Nudrat explains that pico laser is a non-invasive treatment for several concerns: melasma, pigmentation left after acne or inflammation, freckles, open pores, acne scars, some birthmarks and stretch marks. It improves skin tone and texture. Its ultra-short pulses break pigment into small particles, which helps fade melasma. Most people need four to six sessions.
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.
