PicoLazer

PicoLazer is an advanced laser treatment that uses picosecond technology to address pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional lasers, PicoLazer delivers ultra-fast pulses of energy that shatter pigmentation while stimulating collagen and elastin production. This non-ablative treatment effectively reduces melasma, sunspots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It also improves skin texture, minimizes pores, and enhances overall tone. Additionally, PicoLazer is highly effective for tattoo removal, safely breaking down ink particles without damaging the surrounding skin.

PicoLazer is suitable for treating areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, providing a smoother and more even complexion. Most patients notice gradual improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results developing over the following months as collagen production increases. The effects of PicoLazer can last several months to a year, depending on individual skin type and post-treatment care. If you are looking for a versatile laser treatment that corrects pigmentation and enhances skin clarity, book an appointment at AvaBella Aesthetics in Mount Clemens, MI.
