Pico Laser
Pico laser can support both tattoo or PMU correction and selected skin-rejuvenation goals such as acne scars, pores, texture, and uneven tone.
Its short pulse duration is designed for less thermal spread, stronger handling of resistant colors, and broader treatment planning than older nanosecond platforms.

What this treatment can include
- Tattoo and PMU removal planning for brows, eyeliner, lip blush, and body tattoos
- Support for acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, and texture
- Melasma and pigment-focused consultation when appropriate
- Previously treated or stubborn color tattoo refinement
Who usually asks for it
- Patients who want stronger technology for resistant tattoo ink

Treatment details
What to know before booking.
Pico laser can support tattoo removal, PMU correction, pigment concerns, acne-scar support, pores, tone, and texture when the patient is an appropriate candidate. Planning separates pigment removal goals from skin-rejuvenation goals because the treatment settings and expectations are different.
How Pico laser is selected
This section explains what makes Pico technology different, when it may be used for pigment or tattoo concerns, and how skin-rejuvenation planning differs from removal planning.
Why pico pulse duration matters
Pico technology delivers energy in extremely short pulses. The goal is to create a strong photo-mechanical effect on pigment with less reliance on heat than older nanosecond platforms.
- May be discussed for resistant tattoo pigment or multicolor work
- Can be useful when delicate PMU correction needs a careful approach
- Treatment settings are selected around pigment type, skin type, and goal
PMU removal and correction
Permanent makeup correction needs careful planning because brows, lips, and eyeliner are delicate areas and older pigment can shift color.
- May be discussed for brow, eyeliner, or lip-blush fading when appropriate
- Can support partial correction before redesign rather than only full removal
- Color shift, pigment depth, and skin sensitivity are reviewed before treatment
Body tattoo removal
Pico may be part of a body tattoo removal plan when ink color, prior removal history, or resistant pigment calls for a different approach.
- Session count still depends on ink color, density, age, and immune response
- Black ink, colored ink, and previously treated tattoos may all behave differently
- The plan distinguishes fading for cover-up from full removal goals
PicoFractional skin rejuvenation
Pico may also be discussed for skin-quality goals such as acne-scar support, enlarged pores, fine lines, texture, and uneven tone. This is a different treatment plan than pigment removal.
- Can support dermal remodeling with lighter downtime than some resurfacing options
- May be considered for texture, pores, acne-scar appearance, and tone concerns
- A series may be recommended depending on baseline texture and response
Safety, sessions, and candidacy
A Pico plan reviews skin type, pigment pattern, prior treatments, sensitivity, and downtime expectations before treatment starts.
- Darker skin tones and pigment-prone skin need careful setting selection
- Sun exposure and recent tanning can affect timing and safety
- The provider explains expected sessions and when another option may be a better fit

Consultation separates whether the goal is tattoo clearing, PMU correction, or skin rejuvenation.
The short pulse duration and lower heat profile can make Pico a useful option compared with older nanosecond systems.
For skin-focused cases, PicoFractional-style treatment can support dermal remodeling with lower downtime than more aggressive resurfacing options.
Session count depends on the pigment or scar burden being treated.

Common questions
Why is Pico different from traditional YAG tattoo removal?
Pico technology centers on pulse duration: it delivers energy far faster, creating a stronger photo-mechanical effect with less heat to surrounding tissue.
Can Pico help with skin texture too?
Yes. Pico can be discussed for acne scars, pores, fine lines, uneven tone, and broader skin-quality improvement with relatively light downtime.
