Effective, Safe & Gentle Solution for Pigmentation
Uneven skin tone, freckles, sun spots, and stubborn pigmentation are common concerns in Singapore’s hot and sunny climate. Over time, prolonged UV exposure, hormonal changes, and ageing can all cause unwanted pigmentation, making the skin look uneven and dull.
At Nueva Clinic, we offer Pico Laser treatments in Singapore — an advanced, non-invasive solution designed to target pigmentation, brighten skin tone, and rejuvenate your complexion with minimal downtime.
What Is Pico Laser?
Pico Laser is a state-of-the-art laser technology that uses ultra-short pulses (measured in picoseconds) to break down unwanted pigmentation into tiny particles, which are naturally eliminated by the body. Unlike older lasers, Pico Laser delivers energy more precisely and efficiently, resulting in effective pigment clearance with less heat damage to the surrounding skin.
This makes Pico Laser not only effective for pigmentation, but also gentle and safe for most skin types.
Benefits of Pico Laser Treatment
- Reduces pigmentation - freckles, age spots, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Brightens and evens skin tone - restores a youthful, radiant glow.
- Stimulates collagen production - improves skin texture, fine lines, and acne scars.
- Minimal downtime - most patients can resume daily activities immediately.
- Safe and precise - advanced technology targets pigment without damaging surrounding skin.
What can pico laser treat?
Pico Laser is versatile and effective for multiple skin concerns, including:
- Freckles and Sun Spots
- Melasma (hormonal pigmentation)
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne or injuries
- Age Spots/ Liver Spots
- General Skin Dullness
- Acne Scarring and Skin Texture
- Fine Lines and Early Signs of Ageing
Pico Laser vs other treatments
When it comes to pigmentation and skin rejuvenation, there are several treatment options available. Here’s how Pico Laser compares with other technologies:
🔹Picolaser vs Q-switched Laser
- Precision: Pico Laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses, which break pigmentation into finer particles compared to nanosecond Q-Switch lasers.
- Effectiveness: More efficient pigment clearance in fewer sessions.
- Downtime: Less heat generated means lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making it safer for Asian skin.
🔹Picolaser vs IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
- Targeting: IPL uses broad-spectrum light, which can improve mild pigmentation but is less precise. Pico Laser directly targets pigment particles.
- Skin Types: IPL may not be suitable for darker skin tones, whereas Pico Laser is safer across a wider range of skin types.
- Results: IPL is best for general redness and mild pigmentation, while Pico Laser is superior for stubborn pigmentation, melasma, and acne scars.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Pico Laser is an advanced skin treatment that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses of laser energy to break down pigmentation into fine particles. These particles are then naturally cleared by your body, helping to reduce unwanted pigmentation while stimulating collagen production for smoother, brighter skin.
Most patients describe Pico Laser as a quick and tolerable treatment, often feeling like tiny snaps against the skin. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure.
The number of sessions varies depending on your skin concern and pigmentation type. Some patients see visible improvements after 1–2 sessions, while others may require 4–6 sessions for optimal results. During your consultation at Nueva Clinic, our doctor will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or mild sensitivity immediately after treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Most patients can return to their normal activities right after their session.
Yes, Pico Laser is considered safe and effective for Asian skin types. Unlike older lasers that carried a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), Pico Laser’s ultra-short pulses minimise heat damage, making it suitable for treating pigmentation in Asian skin.
Pico Laser is highly effective for:
Pigmentation such as freckles, sun spots, and age spots
Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Acne scars and uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores and dull skin tone
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Many patients notice brighter, clearer skin after just one session. However, pigmentation and scars often require multiple treatments to achieve long-lasting, visible results. Results continue to improve over time as collagen regeneration is stimulated.
At Nueva Clinic, every Pico Laser session is doctor-led to ensure safety and precision. Treatments are customised to your skin type and condition, so you get the best possible results with minimal risk.
