What to Know Before Your Treatment
Explore answers to frequently asked questions about treatment comfort, the number of sessions needed, and what you may experience after a PICO LASER session.
Is PICO LASER treatment painful?
Most clients experience only mild discomfort during the treatment. The sensation is often described as a light snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band against the skin, accompanied by slight warmth.
Areas with thinner skin or closer to the bone may feel slightly more sensitive, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on your skin condition, pigmentation type, and treatment goals.
Many clients notice brighter skin and visible improvement after the first session, while deeper pigmentation or acne scars may require a series of treatments for optimal results.
What should I expect after the treatment?
After treatment, it is normal to experience temporary redness, mild swelling, warmth, or slight skin sensitivity.
These effects usually subside within a few hours. Most clients can resume their normal daily activities immediately, and makeup can generally be applied on the same day if the skin is comfortable.
Will pigmentation return after treatment?
Maintaining good sun protection and following your practitioner's recommendations may help prolong the results. Some clients benefit from maintenance treatments depending on their skin condition.
What You May Experience
Temporary Redness
Mild redness may be visible immediately after treatment.
Mild Warmth
The treated area may temporarily feel warm or slightly sensitive.
Minimal Downtime
Most clients can resume their normal daily activities immediately.
Same-Day Makeup
Makeup can generally be applied if the skin feels comfortable.
What Should I Do After PICO LASER?
Appropriate aftercare helps support skin recovery and maintain treatment results.
Apply Sunscreen
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF30/PA++ or higher every day.
Keep Skin Hydrated
Use a gentle moisturiser to support hydration and skin comfort.
Avoid Excessive Sun
Limit unnecessary sun exposure while your skin is recovering.
Avoid Irritating Products
Avoid AHA/BHA, retinoids, high-concentration Vitamin C, alcohol-based products, and other potentially irritating skincare products until your skin has fully recovered.
Common Safety Concerns
Appropriate treatment settings, professional techniques, and proper aftercare are important for supporting safe and effective PICO LASER treatment.
Will PICO LASER Make My Skin Thinner?
No. PICO LASER targets unwanted pigmentation using ultra-short laser pulses without damaging the surrounding skin. When performed with appropriate treatment settings, it does not thin the skin and may help stimulate natural collagen renewal for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Will PICO LASER Leave Scars?
Scarring is uncommon when the treatment is performed using appropriate techniques and proper aftercare instructions are followed. Following the recommended post-treatment care is important to support optimal healing.
Can PICO LASER Cause Post-Treatment Darkening?
Some individuals, particularly those with darker skin tones or higher melanin levels, may experience temporary post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is usually temporary and gradually improves with proper skincare, sun protection, and time.
Why Is a Skin Assessment Important?
Every skin type and pigmentation concern is unique. A professional assessment provides the information needed to develop an appropriate treatment approach.
