Pico Laser is an advanced non-invasive skin treatment that uses ultra-short picosecond pulse durations to shatter skin pigments into tiny, dust-like particles. This “photo-acoustic” effect effectively treats melasma, sun spots, acne scars, and tattoos without damaging surrounding tissue, resulting in faster healing and superior skin rejuvenation.
GLOJAS Specialist Clinic in Malaysia provides expert Pico Laser treatments for pigmentation, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation. LCP-certified doctors use FDA-approved devices to deliver safe, effective results, backed by decades of clinical experience and trusted patient care.
Pico Laser, short for picosecond laser, is the latest evolution in aesthetic technology, moving beyond traditional nanosecond lasers like the Q-Switched ND:Yag.
In Malaysia’s humid climate, where sun exposure is high, it has become the “go-to” solution for stubborn pigmentation and dull skin.
Unlike older lasers that use heat (photothermal), Pico technology uses pressure (photo-acoustic) to target imperfections safely.
The laser delivers energy in trillionths of a second—so fast that the target pigment or ink shatters without overheating the skin.
This creates “Laser Induced Optical Breakdown” (LIOB) in the dermis, which sends a signal to your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
By avoiding excessive heat, the risk of “post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation” (PIH)—a common issue for darker Malaysian skin tones—is significantly reduced.
Specialized lenses, such as the pico honeycomb or fractional handpieces, allow doctors to customize the depth of the treatment.
Pigmentation: Effectively targets melasma, freckles, age spots, and “Hori’s Nevus” which are common in Asian skin.
Acne Scars: The LIOB effect helps level out pitted scars by stimulating tissue remodeling from the inside out.
Tattoo Removal: It breaks down stubborn ink colors (including greens and blues) that older lasers struggle to remove.
Skin Rejuvenation: It minimizes enlarged pores and brightens a dull complexion for the “glass skin” effect popular in Malaysia.
The primary benefit is the combination of high efficacy and low downtime, making it a “lunchtime” procedure.
It is safer for the Fitzpatrick skin types IV and V commonly found in Malaysia compared to traditional resurfacing lasers.
Pico technology is exceptionally good at treating melasma, which is often aggravated by heat; since Pico is “cool,” it doesn’t trigger further pigment production.
Patients often see a visible lightening of sun-damaged spots after just one or two sessions.
It works by allowing your lymphatic system to naturally flush away the shattered pigment particles over several weeks.
For those with “boxcar” or “rolling” acne scars, the laser creates tiny bubbles under the skin that lift the scar tissue.
The overall skin texture becomes smoother and more refined as Type I and Type III collagen levels increase.
It provides a tightening effect on pores, giving the face a more filtered, youthful appearance.
It requires significantly fewer sessions (often 50% fewer) compared to traditional Q-switched lasers to clear a tattoo.
Because it shatters ink into smaller particles, even deep or “ghosted” ink can be successfully cleared.
There is a much lower risk of scarring or “ghosting” (the white outline left behind after a tattoo is gone).
Almost anyone looking for clearer skin can benefit, but a consultation with an LCP-certified doctor is essential.
In Malaysia, aesthetic procedures must be performed by doctors with the Letter of Credentialing and Privileging (LCP) from the Ministry of Health.
Individuals struggling with stubborn “post-inflammatory erythema” (red marks) after a breakout.
People with sun-damaged skin who want a non-invasive way to erase dark spots and fine lines.
Those who have busy schedules and cannot afford the 7–10 days of peeling associated with CO2 lasers.
Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding are generally advised to wait.
People with active skin infections, open wounds, or cold sores in the treatment area.
Individuals who have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last six months, as it affects skin healing.
The procedure is quick, usually taking 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area treated.
Your skin is cleansed, and you are provided with protective eye shields to guard against the laser light.
The doctor moves the laser handpiece across the skin; you will hear a distinct “snapping” sound as the pulses land.
Depending on the goal (toning vs. scar treatment), the doctor may switch handpieces mid-session to target different skin depths.
Most patients describe the sensation as feeling like a tiny rubber band snapping against the skin.
In Malaysia, most clinics apply a topical numbing cream for 20–30 minutes before the procedure to ensure total comfort.
After the treatment, the skin may feel slightly warm, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few hours.
Pico Toning: Zero downtime; you might have slight redness that disappears within 1 to 3 hours.
Scar/Pigment Treatment: You may experience “petechiae” (tiny red dots) or mild swelling for 2 to 5 days.
You can usually apply makeup the very next day, making it easy to hide any temporary redness.
Results are cumulative; while one session helps, a series of treatments yields the most dramatic transformation.
Skin Brightening: Noticeable within 1 week as the skin’s surface clears.
Pigmentation: Dark spots may initially darken before flaking off or fading over 2 to 3 weeks.
Acne Scars: Results become visible after 3 to 6 months as collagen remodeling is a slow biological process.
| Goal | Sessions | Interval |
| Skin Brightening | 3 – 5 | Monthly |
| Pigmentation/Melasma | 5 – 8 | Every 4 weeks |
| Acne Scars | 4 – 6 | Every 6 weeks |
| Tattoo Removal | 6 – 10+ | Every 8 weeks |
Pigmentation removal is often permanent, provided you maintain strict sun protection.
Acne scar revision is permanent because the new collagen stays in place.
For general rejuvenation, a “maintenance” session every 3 to 6 months is recommended to combat natural aging.
The price of Pico Laser in Malaysia is highly competitive globally, though it varies by region and clinic reputation.
Full Face Toning: RM 600 – RM 1,200
Targeted Pigment/Scar Treatment: RM 800 – RM 1,500
Trial Sessions: Some clinics offer first-time trials starting from RM 300 to RM 500.
Machine Technology: Authentic machines like PicoSure or PicoWay usually cost more than unbranded alternatives.
Doctor’s Expertise: Specialist dermatologists or highly experienced aesthetic physicians may charge a premium.
Package Deals: Most Malaysian clinics offer “Buy 5 Free 1” or similar packages that significantly lower the per-session cost.
Statistically, Pico Laser has a high patient satisfaction rate because of its safety and speed.
When you consider the cost of expensive brightening creams that don’t reach the dermis, a laser is often more cost-effective long-term.
It is widely considered the best “all-in-one” laser for the specific skin needs of the Southeast Asian population.
Side effects are generally minimal and temporary when the treatment is handled by a pro.
Erythema (Redness): This is the most common side effect and usually subsides within a few hours.
Itching: Occasionally, the skin may feel itchy as it heals; applying a gentle moisturizer helps.
Temporary Darkening: Some pigment spots may appear darker before they fade away.
The biggest risk is “rebound pigmentation” if the laser settings are too aggressive or if the patient skips sunscreen.
Always ensure the clinic uses an authentic device; counterfeit machines can cause actual burns or scarring.
Post-care is vital: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen daily to protect the “new” skin from Malaysia’s intense UV rays.
