PICO Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Advanced pigment, scar and skin-tone correction with minimal downtime.
What is PICO Laser?
PICO Laser is an advanced picosecond-pulse laser technology that delivers ultra-short bursts of energy into the skin. These pulses shatter unwanted pigment, break down scar tissue, and stimulate collagen with exceptional precision. Because the pulses are so fast, heat is minimised — meaning a safer, gentler treatment with reduced downtime.
At Ultimate Aesthetics, all PICO Laser treatments are non-invasive and performed by qualified Laser professionals.

- Hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Acne scars and other scar tissue
