Achieve Clear, Even-Toned Skin with Pico Laser

Skin hyperpigmentation is a common concern that manifests as dark spots, age spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone. These issues can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scars, or other factors, leaving you with a complexion that appears uneven and dull. At Glojas Specialist, we offer the Pico Laser treatment—an advanced and effective solution for treating skin hyperpigmentation, helping you achieve clear, radiant, and even-toned skin.

What is Skin Hyperpigmentation?

Skin hyperpigmentation refers to areas of the skin that become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This can occur as a result of various factors, including:

  • Sun Exposure: UV rays can trigger the production of melanin, leading to sun spots and freckles.
  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions like melasma are often linked to hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy or with the use of birth control pills.
  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Acne, injuries, or other skin traumas can leave behind dark marks even after healing.
  • Aging: As we age, the skin’s natural regeneration process slows down, leading to the accumulation of pigmented cells.

While these conditions are typically harmless, they can affect your confidence and make your complexion appear uneven.

How Pico Laser Treats Skin Hyperpigmentation?

The Pico Laser is a cutting-edge technology specifically designed to target and treat skin hyperpigmentation effectively. Unlike traditional lasers, which use thermal energy, the Pico Laser uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy to break down the pigment particles in the skin. These pulses are delivered in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), making the treatment incredibly precise and gentle on the skin.

Benefits of Pico Laser for Skin Hyperpigmentation

Effective on Stubborn Pigmentation

The Pico Laser is highly effective in treating various types of hyperpigmentation, including stubborn conditions like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its advanced technology allows it to target even the deepest layers of pigmentation, ensuring comprehensive treatment and visible results.

Minimal Discomfort and Downtime

One of the key advantages of the Pico Laser is that it works with minimal discomfort and downtime. The ultra-short pulses of energy mean that the surrounding tissue is not overheated, reducing the risk of side effects like redness or swelling. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Safe for All Skin Types

The Pico Laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which are often more prone to hyperpigmentation. Its precision allows for targeted treatment of pigmented areas without damaging the surrounding skin, making it a versatile option for patients with varying skin concerns.

Quick and Noticeable Results

Pico Laser treatments are relatively quick, typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most patients notice an improvement in their skin’s clarity and tone after just a few sessions, with the best results seen after a series of treatments. The laser’s ability to break down pigment into smaller particles also means faster clearance by the body’s immune system, leading to quicker results.

About Pico Laser

The Pico Laser Treatment Process

Consultation and Skin Assessment

Your journey to clearer, more even-toned skin begins with a consultation at Glojas Specialist. Our experienced professionals will assess your skin type and the extent of your hyperpigmentation to determine if Pico Laser is the right treatment for you. We’ll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Treatment Sessions

During the treatment, the Pico Laser is applied to the areas of hyperpigmentation. The laser energy targets and breaks down the excess melanin without affecting the surrounding tissue. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight tingling or warmth, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or a slight darkening of the treated areas, which typically subsides within a few days. It’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and following any aftercare instructions provided by your specialist. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

Precautions of doing Pico Laser

When undergoing Pico laser treatment, it’s important to observe several precautions to ensure optimal results and minimize potential risks. Patients typically see visible improvements within about a week as the treated skin peels off to reveal new skin underneath. To support the healing process, staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and regularly applying moisturizer is essential. This helps nourish the skin with nutrients and accelerates healing.

It’s advised to avoid water activities such as swimming during this time to reduce the risk of infections. Direct exposure to sunlight should also be avoided, and wearing sunscreen whenever outdoors is crucial. The skin is particularly sensitive during the healing phase and can easily be damaged by intense temperatures and excessive UV exposure.

While Pico laser treatment is generally tolerable, patients may experience some discomfort during the procedure. Healthcare providers can offer numbing creams to minimize any tingling sensations and ensure a more comfortable experience. Using standard skincare treatments as recommended can further help alleviate discomfort and support the healing process effectively.

By following these precautions diligently, patients can enhance the effectiveness of Pico laser treatment and achieve smoother, rejuvenated skin with minimal discomfort and reduced risk of complications.

Side effects of Pico Laser treatment

Pico laser treatment is generally considered safe with minimal side effects due to its non-invasive and precise nature. It operates at specific wavelengths to selectively target pigmentation, leaving surrounding areas undamaged. As a result, there are typically no recorded side effects associated with the procedure.

Expected Downtime for Pico Laser

Due to its non-surgical nature, Pico laser treatment requires minimal downtime and poses very few associated risks.

How much does Pico Laser cost?

Pico laser treatment costs vary depending on whether it’s for skin imperfections or tattoo removal. Prices typically range from RM 900 to RM 5,000 per session. At Glojas Clinic, pico laser treatment for skin imperfections starts at approximately RM 1,500 onwards, while tattoo removal costs begin at around RM 600 onwards per session.
