This is not conventional laser treatment.
This is precision-engineered, next-generation skin technology designed for superior results with minimal downtime.
Why Discovery PICO Plus Is Different
Traditional lasers rely on heat. Discovery PICO delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that shatter pigment with extraordinary precision while protecting surrounding skin.
With up to 1.8 gigawatts of peak power and multiple wavelengths (1064nm, 532nm and 694nm), it offers unmatched versatility and performance.

All with reduced downtime and enhanced safety.
A New Standard in Skin Rejuvenation
The Discovery PICO fractional technology stimulates collagen deep within the dermis while gently resurfacing damaged skin.
This dual-level approach delivers visible renewal with limited recovery time — making it ideal for those who expect results without disruption.
Exclusivity. Precision. Confidence.

Fractional Laser PICO Plus Frequently Asked Questions
-
Fractional laser (Discovery PICO Fractional) works on the same principle as skin needling — creating thousands of microscopic injury points to trigger your skin's natural collagen and elastin production — but delivers far more precision, depth control, and consistency. Think of it as skin needling on steroids: instead of mechanical needles, focused laser energy creates a controlled pattern of micro-treatment zones, stimulating deeper remodeling with less trauma to the surrounding skin and faster recovery.
-
Yes. Fractional laser is considered the gold standard for treating acne scarring and trauma scarring because it works below the surface to remodel scar tissue and rebuild healthy collagen structure, rather than just resurfacing the top layer. Most clients see a gradual smoothing and softening of scar texture over a course of sessions, with results building over several months as new collagen forms.
-
Enlarged pores are usually a sign of reduced skin elasticity around the pore opening. Fractional laser tightens the surrounding tissue and boosts collagen support, which helps pores appear smaller and skin texture look smoother and more refined.
-
Most clients need a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the concern being treated (texture and pores generally respond faster than deeper acne or trauma scarring). Because the treatment works by stimulating your skin's own collagen remodeling, results continue to improve for weeks after each session.
-
Downtime varies by treatment intensity, but most clients experience redness and a warm, sunburn-like sensation for 24–48 hours, with some mild flaking as the skin renews itself. This is far more manageable than older ablative resurfacing lasers, while still delivering deeper remodeling than skin needling alone.
-
The Discovery PICO Fractional platform is designed to treat a broad range of skin types safely, including deeper skin tones that are more prone to pigmentation risk with older laser technologies. A consultation lets us assess your skin and tailor settings to your specific concerns — texture, pores, scarring, or fine lines and wrinkles.
