  • Ready for Pico Laser in Singapore? Ask These 50 Important Questions

To ensure that you are well-prepared, we have compiled a list of fifty questions you should ask yourself prior to undergoing the Pico Laser skin treatment in Singapore, some of which you may not have even considered.

This checklist is medically reviewed by Dr. Chin Kok Ping.

1. Do I comprehend Pico Lasers?

Pico lasers focus high energy in ultra-short picosecond pulses on selected skin locations to shatter pigments into tiny particles that the body naturally eliminates. This lightens and evens skin tone.

2. What skin conditions am I targeting?

Pico lasers effectively cure discoloration and uneven skin. This treatment is ideal for the following skin disorders.

Melasma, freckles, sunsports, liver spots, age spots (solar lentigo), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), Hori-Nevus, tatoo removal, acne scars, enlarged pores, dull skin, and wrinkles are treated with Pico Laser.

3. My Pico Laser budget?

Pico Laser in Singapore is inexpensive at $88 Nett, suitable for most budgets. Size of pigmentation and number of sessions, especially for hard colours, can effect costs.

4. Will there be further fees after the first session?

A Pico Laser session costs $88 Nett at Become Aesthetics Clinics. Prices vary on pigmentation size and number of sessions and will be disclosed upfront.

5. Pico Laser Pain?

Although pain perception varies, most people find Pico Lasers painless. To ensure comfort, numbing cream will be used before the treatment.

6. The Pico Laser therapy feels like?

Your skin is pecked lightly and quickly throughout the therapy. You'll know where the laser is zapping, but it's not painful.

7. Does the clinic have excellent reviews?

Skin treatments are very personal, so the clinic's reputation must be good. Google is a frequent approach to check a clinic's reputation. Check the clinic's Google reviews, quantity of reviews, and star rating.

At the time of writing, Become Aesthetic Clinics in Singapore averages 400 Google reviews and 4.9 stars.

8. Do I comprehend Pico Laser side effects?

Most pico lasers are safe. You may have transient skin redness and hyperpigmentation. Our experienced doctors reduce dangers.

9. Pico Laser: long-term commitment?

Pico Lasers deliver long-lasting results without commitments. More sessions may be needed for persistent colours, but most skin issues can be treated in a month or two.

We encourage following our doctors' treatment programme for fast results. Delays may reduce therapy efficacy.

10. At what age should treatment begin?

No age is set for therapy because it depends on your skin condition and factors including sun exposure, lifestyle, and diet. 

When skin issues appear in their 20s, people may seek Pico Laser treatment.

11. Who will administer my care?

Your safety and satisfaction are our top priority. Certified medical doctors with hands-on experience perform all operations at Become Aesthetics Clinics in Singapore.

12. How long should each session last?

Pico Laser sessions last about 30 minutes, making them ideal for busy people.

13. Number of sessions needed for results?

Most people need 3-5 Pico Laser sessions for best results. Patients with severe cases may observe results with the first treatment. Our doctors can recommend the amount of sessions.

14. Schedule the next appointment when?

The optimal period between Pico Laser treatments is 3-4 weeks since skin needs time to recuperate. Make an appointment ahead of time to meet your schedule.

15. Can I have another Pico Laser session too soon?

The recommended timeline should not be accelerated because your skin needs time to repair. A Pico Laser therapy too soon would reduce pigment breakdown and recovery. Additionally, irritating your skin could cause other issues.

16. A Pico Laser therapy uses what lasers?

Our Singapore clinics use Discovery Pico Laser and PicoSure Laser Treatment. Both devices use comparable technology, but they have different treatments and uses.

Discovery Pico Laser can treat pigmentation, acne scars, tattoos, and skin rejuvenation. PicoSure Laser Treatment targeted tattoo removal and pigmented lesions.

Become Aesthetics Clinics in Singapore uses Discover Pico Lasers.

17. Why use Pico Laser instead of nanosecond lasers?

The pulse duration distinguishes Pico Lasers from nanosecond lasers. Pico lasers have much shorter pulses and faster speeds. This means less skin heat, better pigment breakdown, and fewer treatments.

18. Is Pico Laser FDA-approved?

Pico Laser technology is FDA-approved and clinically proven to cure pigmentation, acne scars, tattoo removal, and wrinkles.

19. Will Pico Laser impact my eyebrows, lashes, or hairline?

High-precision pico Laser machines target specific skin patches without affecting neighbouring hair strokes. All of our procedures are performed by trained medical experts who prioritise aesthetic results.

20. Does Pico Laser work on other body parts?

Pico Lasers are safe for other body sections, unlike standard laser treatments. The procedure can treat facial or body tattoos or hyperpigmentation.

21. Could Pico Lasers treat my stretch marks?

Due to collagen production, the therapy reduces stretch marks. Elastic production increases with pico lasers, tightening and filling the skin.

22. Does Pico Laser Treatment work for men?

Pico Laser treatment, generally associated with women, can improve skin problems and treat many skin conditions in men.

23. Can I use Pico Lasers on tattoos?

Tattoo removal is effective with Pico Lasers. Lasers can penetrate skin deeper and break down tenacious ink particles with customizable energy levels and shorter pulse durations. Pico Lasers are faster, more efficient, and less painful than standard laser removal.

24. Tattoo removal requires how many sessions?

Some variables must be considered when erasing tattoos using Pico Laser. These include ink kind and colour, tattoo depth, and skin condition. 

You may need 3–10 Pico Laser sessions to fade your tattoo. To help our doctors access your sessions, make an appointment.

25. Will Pico Laser whiten my skin?

Pico Lasers reduce melanin production, lighten skin, and boost brightness by breaking down dark spots and pigmentation.

26. How should I prepare for treatment?

Preparing for treatment is easy. Staying hydrated before treatment helps skin repair, especially in Singapore temperatures. You can also skip makeup before the procedure to make face washing easier.

27. What should I wear to treatment?

Clothing matters for post-op care. Wear wide-brimmed hats or shades to protect your newly treated skin from direct sunlight.

28. Should I tell clinics about my skin issues?

Protecting your skin is our first focus. Thus, we encourage providing our experts with detailed information about your skin conditions so we can create a customised treatment plan. 

29. Is Pico Laser safe with other skin treatments?

Pico Laser can usually be coupled with other skin treatments to boost results. Combining treatments helps achieve multiple skin goals. 

See our skin treatments or ask our experts to customise one for you. 

30. Does Pico Laser Treatment suit my skin?

Pico Lasers are safe for most skin types. Rare conditions include hypersensitive skin or UV sensitivity may necessitate a more complete evaluation by our doctors. You must discuss your skin conditions during consultation.

31. Are dark eye circles compatible for Pico Laser?

Blood circulation, melanin buildup, undereye thinning, and other causes generate dark eye circles. Treatment breaks down targeted pigment spots and improves skin renewal and texture. 

32. So how does Pico Laser assist my pores?

Pico Laser gently exfoliates skin to remove congested pores. Additionally, the laser targets sebaceous glands to reduce oil production and sebum buildup.  

33. Is one Pico Laser session enough?

How many sessions you need depends on your skin issue. Some people get results after one session, but most need 3-5 depending on their skin goals.

34. Results permanent?

After several Pico Laser sessions, most pigmentation disappears. Beware of new pigmentation during skin healing. Keep your skin out of direct sunlight and follow a proper skincare routine. 

35. Do I have any problems that prevent treatment?

All skin types can use pico lasers safely. If you have current skin infections or are recuperating from a sunburn, our specialists will further check your health before treatment.

36. Is Pico Laser safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Due to the lack of viable studies on pregnancy and breastfeeding concerns, we recommend delaying therapies to protect the baby. Before treating your skin, our physicians will carefully evaluate it.

37. After Pico Laser, what habits should I avoid?

Stop some of these practises until your skin heals to avoid upsetting it.

Avoid smoking, which hinders healing.

Avoid drinking too much to help your kidneys remove pigment.

Avoid swimming because chlorine and bacteria damage skin.

38. May I wash my face immediately after treatment?

You can, however avoid warm to hot water because your skin is sensitive. Washing gently in cool water relaxes and heals skin.

39. Should I stop using skincare after treatment?

Your skin will feel irritated for days. Exfoliants, retinoids, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid should be avoided. You can gradually resume your skincare routine with our specialists' help.

40. Is exercising allowed after treatment?

Intense workouts or sweaty exercises might cause infection and skin irritation, so avoid them. 

41. After Pico Laser, is sun exposure safe?

UV rays are detrimental to the skin, therefore direct sun exposure after the treatment may impair its efficacy or cause discomfort. After the treatment, wear hats or use broad-spectrum sunscreen for at least a week.

42. Is shaving possible after Pico Laser?

Shaving too soon after therapy can irritate skin. Shaving should wait 3-4 days after Pico Laser treatment.

43. Can I perfume my skin after the treatment?

After Pico Laser therapy, avoid perfumes and scents since they may cause skin redness, discoloration, and irritation. Apply gently after letting your skin rest for a few days.

44. Can I use lotions after treatment?

After Pico Laser, use gentle hydrating lotions without smell or perfume, which may irritate skin.

45. Can I wear makeup before and after treatment?

After Pico Laser therapy, your skin will be sensitive, therefore avoid makeup for a few days. Cosmetics can clog pores, so let your skin heal.

46. Drive right after treatment?

Post-treatment driving is safe. The treatment is convenient and involves no modifications to your regular routine, benefiting busy people. 

47. After treatment, will my skin peel?

No skin peeling is a major benefit of Pico Laser, especially in low-energy settings. Occasionally, high-energy settings may cause mild peeling. Pico Laser rarely peels skin. Patients will receive post-treatment updates from our doctors.
