Skin Clarity for Every Complexion
Traditional laser treatments work by heating tissue — a method that can pose risk for medium-to-deeper skin tones. Pico Laser operates in trillionths of a second (picoseconds), shattering pigment particles with precision acoustic energy rather than prolonged heat. The result: exceptional outcomes with significantly less downtime and a dramatically lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Ultrafast Pulses Picosecond delivery shatters pigment with minimal thermal damage to surrounding skin.

What Pico Laser Addresses
Our providers will conduct a thorough skin assessment and customize your treatment plan. Pico Laser is clinically indicated for a wide range of pigment-based and textural concerns:
- Melasma — including treatment-resistant cases on deeper skin tones
- Sun damage & age spots — solar lentigines and brown spots
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — from acne or injury
- Freckles & uneven skin tone
- Fine lines & wrinkles — through collagen stimulation
- Enlarged pores & acne scars
- Tattoo removal & fading — including multi-color tattoos
- Overall skin rejuvenation — tone, texture, and luminosity
Finally — A Real Solution for Melasma
Melasma is one of the most challenging pigment conditions to treat, especially in clients with medium-to-dark complexions. It’s triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and heat — and many conventional treatments can actually worsen it in darker skin types.
Pico Laser’s low-heat, high-precision approach directly addresses the melanin deposits responsible for melasma without the thermal risk that causes paradoxical darkening. Combined with Luminare’s custom skin care protocols, our providers create a comprehensive melasma management plan — not just a one-time treatment.
Note box: Recommended protocol: A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, paired with medical-grade sun protection and targeted homecare. Results are cumulative; many clients see meaningful improvement as early as session 2.

FAQ
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your concern. Sun spots may resolve in 1–2 sessions, while melasma and deeper pigmentation typically require 3–6 sessions. Your provider will outline a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Is Pico Laser safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — this is one of Pico Laser’s key advantages. Because it uses photoacoustic energy rather than heat, it is safe and effective across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including Types IV, V, and VI.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Most clients experience mild redness for a few hours after treatment. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off over 5–10 days — this is a normal part of the healing process.
Can I combine Pico Laser with other Luminare treatments?
In many cases, yes. Pico Laser pairs well with medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, and RF microneedling as part of a comprehensive skin health plan. Your provider will advise on the best treatment sequence.
