Pico Toning & Advanced Pico Toning
Choose from gentle pigment correction or deeper rejuvenation with enhanced tightening and collagen stimulation.
What Is It?
Pico Toning
Pico Toning uses next-generation picosecond laser technology to target pigment, melasma, redness, pores, and early aging signs. Unlike heat-based lasers, Pico delivers ultra-short pulses measured in trillionths of a second—breaking pigment apart without damaging surrounding tissue.
Safe for all skin tones, this is one of the most versatile treatments for radiant, even skin.
Advanced Pico Toning — Where Precision Meets Transformation
Advanced Pico Toning uses the same picosecond laser platform but adds a specialized MLA tip and elevated settings to create microthermal zones that activate deeper collagen repair, improve elasticity, and support enhanced pigment correction and tightening — ideal for more dramatic rejuvenation results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pico Toning uses advanced picosecond laser technology that delivers ultra-fast pulses of light into the skin. These pulses break apart unwanted pigmentation while stimulating collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional lasers, the picosecond energy is gentler on the skin, making it safe for all skin tones and effective for restoring an even, radiant complexion.
The procedure takes about 30–45 minutes depending on the treatment area. Your skin will be cleansed, and protective goggles will be provided. The Pico laser handpiece will be moved across your skin, delivering rapid light pulses that feel like a quick “tingling” sensation.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or mild swelling that typically resolves within 24 hours. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off.
Aftercare includes: gentle cleansing, avoiding direct sun exposure, using daily sunscreen, and skipping harsh skincare or exfoliation for 48 hours.
This treatment is ideal for addressing pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging. Many patients also notice a smoother skin texture and overall skin rejuvenation.
Most patients describe the sensation as light prickling or warmth on the skin. It’s well tolerated without numbing, but a topical anesthetic can be applied if you are sensitive or treating a larger area.
You may start to see visible improvements in 1–2 weeks after your first session, but optimal results are achieved with a series of 3–6 treatments. With proper skincare and sun protection, results are long-lasting, and maintenance treatments can be done periodically to keep your skin glowing.
Advanced Pico Toning uses the same picosecond platform with an MLA tip and higher settings to target deeper pigment and stimulate stronger collagen renewal, which can improve texture, elasticity, and tightening.
Yes — Advanced Pico Toning typically involves 5-7 days of mild redness, petechiae or texture changes as part of the deeper repair process. Standard Pico Toning has minimal to no downtime.
Your provider will recommend based on your goals — whether you want gentle maintenance or dramatic rejuvenation — and tailor the plan accordingly.
