FAQ

  • What makes Pico Dual™ different from other Pico lasers?
    Pico Dual™ is the world’s first and only Pico laser machine featuring a unique combination of dual-lamp, dual-rod, and smart-pulse technology. This triple innovation allows for: Higher energy output Deeper and more uniform skin penetration Greater comfort and faster recovery All while delivering exceptional results for pigment and rejuvenation.
  • What skin concerns can Pico Dual™ treat?
    Pico Dual™ is effective in treating a wide range of concerns, including: Stubborn pigmentation (melasma, sunspots and others) Acne scars and textural irregularities Uneven skin tone Fine lines and wrinkles General skin rejuvenation
  • Is the treatment painful?
    Thanks to our smart-pulse technology, treatments are much more comfortable compared to traditional lasers. Most patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or a light snap on the skin. Numbing cream is typically not required.
  • How long does a treatment session take?
    Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, but most sessions take between 5 to 30 minutes. There’s minimal to no downtime, so clients can often return to normal activities right after.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    Most clients see visible improvement after just a few sessions. However, a full treatment plan usually consists of 8 to 12 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, depending on the concern being treated.
  • Is there any downtime?
    Minimal to none. The gentler energy delivery of Pico Dual significantly reduces skin trauma, resulting in: Mild redness that typically fades within hours Quick return to daily activities No major peeling or discomfort
  • What should I do before and after treatment?
    Before: Avoid sun exposure, stop using harsh skincare (e.g., retinoids, acids) for a few days, and ensure the treatment area of the skin is well-hydrated. After: Keep the treated area clean, use gentle skincare, and apply sunscreen regularly. Your practitioner will provide personalized aftercare instructions.
  • Is it safe for darker skin tones?
    Yes. Pico Dual™ is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Its advanced technology minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • How soon will I see results?
    Many patients notice subtle improvements after the first session, with more dramatic and lasting results building over time as collagen regenerates and pigmentation fades.
  • Is Pico Dual™ suitable for sensitive skin?
    Absolutely. The smart-pulse mechanism delivers energy in a way that’s gentler on the skin, making it ideal for those with sensitivity or previously poor experiences with laser treatments.
  • Can I combine Pico Dual™ with other treatments?
    Depending on your goals, Pico Dual™ can be safely combined with treatments like microneedling, RF therapy, or hydrating facials. Always consult with your practitioner for a tailored treatment plan.
