The Picosecond Laser is one of the most advanced aesthetic laser technologies available today. It delivers ultra-short bursts of laser energy measured in trillionths of a second (picoseconds) to break down unwanted pigment, stimulate collagen production, and destroy fungal infections beneath the nail plate—without damaging surrounding tissue.
Unlike traditional lasers that rely on intense heat and longer pulses, the picosecond laser works using pressure and photomechanical energy, making it safer, more comfortable, and more effective—especially for stubborn skin conditions.
What Can the Picosecond Laser Treat?
While many know this laser for tattoo and pigmentation removal, its capabilities go far beyond. Here’s how it tackles three of the most common and persistent conditions:
1. Freckles and Pigmentation Irregularities
Freckles, age spots, and sun-induced hyperpigmentation can become more prominent with age or sun exposure. The picosecond laser shatters the melanin particles responsible for discoloration into microscopic fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by your body.
Benefits:
- Precision targeting of melanin without harming nearby skin
- Safe for most skin types and tones
- Fewer sessions compared to older lasers
- Minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
2. 🌐 Spider Veins and Vascular Lesions
Benefits:
- Non-invasive alternative to injections or surgical vein removal
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
- No need for compression garments
- Long-term improvement in skin clarity and tone
3. Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Fungal nail infections can be embarrassing and tough to treat with topical or oral medications alone. The picosecond laser penetrates deep under the nail to heat and destroy the fungal cells without harming the nail bed or surrounding skin.
Benefits:
- No oral medication or liver-damaging side effects
- Safe, painless, and quick
- Allows healthy nail regrowth
- Ideal for patients resistant to other treatments

What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Before your session, our team will conduct a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your skin or nail concern and determine the right laser settings.
- During the treatment, you may feel a snapping or tingling sensation. Most patients describe it as very tolerable—no anesthesia is required, though numbing cream is available if needed.
- After the session, mild redness or warmth is normal, but it typically subsides within 24 hours. For nail fungus, your nail will gradually clear as healthy growth returns.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
- Freckles & pigmentation: 2–4 sessions
- Spider veins: 2–5 sessions depending on severity
- Nail fungus: 3–6 treatments over several weeks
We’ll space treatments appropriately to allow your skin or nails time to heal and regenerate between sessions.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
To get the most out of your Picosecond Laser treatment, follow these tips:
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare post-treatment
- Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily
- Skip tanning beds and exfoliants for 5–7 days
- For nails, keep them clean, dry, and free of polish for at least a week
We’ll give you a personalized post-care plan so your skin and nails recover beautifully.
