PIQO4 Laser for Pigmentation

The PIQO4 laser is an advanced technology that uses both nanosecond and picosecond pulses to treat deep, stubborn pigmentation such as melasma, sunspots (lentigines), and general sun damage. It works on multiple layers of the skin, breaking down pigment without harming the surrounding tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?

Results vary depending on the type and depth of the pigmentation. Most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Melasma typically requires more gentle and gradual treatment.

What should I expect during and after the treatment?

The treatment feels like quick snaps against the skin. Afterward, you may experience redness or slight darkening of the pigment for a few days before it begins to fade. There is little to no downtime.

Is it safe for all skin tones?

Yes. PIQO4 is one of the few lasers that can be safely used on all skin types, including darker tones, due to its customizable settings and ultra-fast pulse technology.

What types of pigmentation does it treat?

PIQO4 can treat a wide range of pigment concerns, including sun spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age spots, and freckles. It can be safely used on the face, chest, hands, and other areas.

What is the PIQO4 laser and how does it work?

PIQO4 is an advanced picosecond and nanosecond laser that targets unwanted pigmentation using ultra-short pulses of energy. It shatters pigment into tiny particles that are naturally eliminated by your body, helping to even out skin tone.
