Treatment Procedure

Discovery PICO uses the most advanced laser technology for the treatment of pigmented lesions, aged skin and tattoos. The energy from the laser will penetrate through the outer layer of skin, directly targeting to destroy the tattoo ink without affecting the surrounding tissues.

Most of the aesthetic clinics in Malaysia right now are usingright now are using the traditional Q-Switched lasers that break down the pigmented particles in granules. With the Discovery PICO which works in Picosecond pulses, is able to fragment the tattoo ink into thin “dust”, which is easier to be eliminated by the body immune system. This results in the lightening of the tattoo.
