What is PICO Laser?
PICO laser uses ultra-short pulses of energy to break down pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal at a cellular level. It is effective for sun spots, melasma, uneven tone, and post-acne discoloration.
Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, PICO technology shatters pigment particles into tiny fragments that your body naturally eliminates. This means faster results, fewer treatments, and minimal discomfort.
At MedGlo, every PICO laser treatment is performed by Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD, ensuring precise, safe, and consistent results tailored to your skin.

What Can PICO Laser Treat?
Sun spots and age spots
Melasma and hyperpigmentation
Post-acne discoloration
Uneven skin tone
Freckles
Face and neck pigmentation
Skin rejuvenation for Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI
PICO laser is particularly effective for patients with melasma and hyperpigmentation concerns, including those with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). Traditional lasers can carry higher risks for these skin types, but PICO's ultra-short pulse technology minimizes heat damage, making it a safer and more effective option for skin rejuvenation across a wider range of complexions. Dr. Recalde will assess your skin type and customize settings accordingly.
