Pico Laser

Pico Laser in Vancouver, BC

The Pico Glow™ laser emits ultra-short bursts of energy (Nano and picosecond pulses) to stimulate collagen production and promote skin cell turnover. The results are a reduction in excess pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and a smoother, more even complexion. Many of our clients opt for a series of treatments to achieve their desired results.

Concerns

Hyperpigmentation

Treatment Time

30–45 minutes

Downtime

Minimal; mild redness or warmth may occur and typically resolves within a few hours to 24 hours. Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before fading naturally.

How It Works

The laser energy targets excess pigment beneath the skin’s surface without overheating the skin. By shattering pigment into microscopic particles, the body gradually eliminates discoloration while stimulating collagen for brighter, smoother skin over time.

Consultation & Planning

Most patients benefit from a series of 2–4 Pico laser treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on pigmentation depth and desired results.

At 65 my face could not keep up with my energy, Dr. Denton and his amazing staff guided me through a facelift. The procedure was seamless, my recovery swift.

The results were subtle. In fact I often have to show my ID to prove that I am a senior. I love and appreciate the results!
