Introduction
Struggling with stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, or dull skin? Pico Laser treatment is a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation, offering faster results with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional lasers, Pico technology delivers ultra-short pulses to target imperfections without damaging surrounding skin.
In Toronto, Medica Laser Spa specializes in Pico Laser treatments for melasma, sunspots, tattoos, and more. Whether you’re prepping for a special event or seeking long-term skin renewal, this guide covers everything you need to know.
What is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser is an advanced skin treatment that uses picosecond pulses (trillionths of a second) to break down pigment and stimulate collagen. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, Pico technology shatters pigment particles, making it safer for all skin types—including darker tones prone to hyperpigmentation.
How Does It Work?
- Delivers energy in ultra-fast bursts.
- Breaks pigment into tiny particles for natural elimination.
- Triggers collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.
