How to get Radiant Skin with Pico Laser Treatment?
If you are looking for that clear, radiant, “glass skin” glow, you have likely heard about the pico laser. This treatment has become a go-to in our KL clinic for patients who want to fix stubborn pigmentation, old acne scars, and large pores, all with minimal downtime.
But what makes a pico laser so different from other lasers? As MOH-LCP certified doctors, our goal is to give you a clear, honest guide. Here is how a pico laser treatment works and what you can really expect on your journey to radiant skin.
What is a Pico Laser and Why Is It Different?
A pico laser is not just a “laser.” It’s a revolutionary leap in technology.
- Traditional Lasers (like Nano lasers) use heat to break down pigment. This can be effective, but the heat can also be harsh on the skin, leading to more redness and a longer recovery (downtime).
- Pico Lasers are different. They get their name from “picosecond,” which is one-trillionth of a second. Instead of using intense heat, a pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy.
This creates a “PhotoAcoustic” shockwave that shatters pigment (like stubborn sun spots or acne marks) into tiny, dust-like particles. Your body’s immune system then easily clears these particles away.
The benefit? Less heat, less downtime, and a lower risk of side effects, making it exceptionally safe for Asian skin tones when performed by a qualified doctor.
How a Pico Laser Delivers Radiant Skin: The Key Benefits
A pico laser is a versatile tool that treats multiple concerns at once. Here is how it works to give you that clear, radiant glow.
- It Erases Stubborn Pigmentation This is what the pico laser is most famous for. The PhotoAcoustic effect is incredibly effective at shattering deep, stubborn pigment clusters that other lasers can’t reach. It’s a top treatment for:
- Sun spots and freckles
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark acne marks)
- It Refines Pores and Texture To get radiant skin, you need a smooth canvas. Our PicoSure Pro laser uses a special “Focus Lens Array” that concentrates energy to create tiny, gentle healing zones under the skin. This triggers a surge of new collagen and elastin, which helps to shrink the appearance of large pores and soften rough texture.
- It Reduces Acne Scars The same collagen-stimulating process is highly effective for “depressed” or atrophic acne scars. The pico laser helps to break up the old scar tissue and rebuild the skin from below, making the scars shallower and less visible.
It Has Minimal Downtime This is the biggest “how-to” benefit for our busy patients. Because the pico laser uses less heat, most patients only experience a few hours of mild redness, similar to a light sunburn. You can typically return to your normal activities the very next day.
The Pico Laser Treatment: What to Expect at Our Clinic
A pico laser treatment is a medical procedure, so it’s important to know the steps. Here is what your journey at Davinci Clinic looks like:
- The Consultation (The Most Important Step) First, you will meet with one of our MOH-LCP certified doctors. We will analyse your skin, discuss your goals, and, most importantly, assess your skin type. This is crucial for managing the risk of hyperpigmentation (PIH) and ensuring the pico laser is the right choice for you.
- The Procedure The treatment itself is very quick.
- Your face will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied for 30 minutes to ensure you’re comfortable.
- The doctor will then perform the pico laser treatment, which usually takes only 15-20 minutes.
- Patients describe the sensation as tiny, “prickly” snaps against the skin. It is very tolerable.
- Post-Care After the procedure, your skin will be red and may feel warm for a few hours. We will apply a soothing mask to calm the skin. You will be given strict instructions to apply moisturiser and, most importantly, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, as your skin will be sensitive.

The “how” in getting radiant skin is not just about the machine, it’s about the expert using it.
