Picosecond Laser

Ultra-fast Pico pulses for pigmentation, lip lightening & tattoo removal

The Picosecond (Pico) Laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy in trillionths of a second, shattering unwanted pigment into tiny particles that your body clears naturally — with far less heat and discomfort than traditional lasers. It is our go-to technology for stubborn pigmentation on the face and hands, dark lip pigmentation — Pico Pink Lips gently breaks down excess pigment in the lips to even out dark or uneven tones over a course of 3–6 sessions — laser tattoo removal, and acne ice-pick scarring — where the ultra-fast pulses stimulate collagen to soften and smooth pitted scars over a course of sessions. Facial pigmentation is treated with the Pico Carbon Full Face Laser Facial — R940 for a 60-minute treatment, available at Ferndale and Fourways — with a free 15-minute Pico assessment beforehand to plan your personalised course. Most facial pigmentation improves over 4–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

How It Works

Each pulse lasts just picoseconds — so brief that it breaks pigment particles apart through mechanical (photoacoustic) energy rather than heat. The shattered pigment is then naturally flushed away by your body's lymphatic system over the following weeks, while the surrounding tissue stays unharmed.
