Addressing A Range Of Skin Concerns To Promote A Healthier And Clearer Complexion
Pico laser or picosecond laser is a type of laser technology that produces incredibly brief laser pulses that are measured in picoseconds, or trillionths of a second. Because it is non-invasive and non-surgical, this treatment is appropriate for people with hectic schedules or sensitivity issues. The laser can address multiple areas such as the face, body, and neck.
Pico Laser technology is used to treat a range of dermatological and aesthetic concerns. Some of the common conditions and aesthetic concerns, some of which include:
Pico Lasers are effective in treating various pigmentation concerns such as sunspots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, melasma, etc.
Pico Lasers are widely used for tattoo removal due to their ability to break down tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments. This facilitates the body’s natural removal processes.
The improvement in skin texture and firmness is achieved due to the collagen production which is stimulated during the Pico Laser procedure, aiding in overall skin rejuvenation.
By dissolving scar tissue and encouraging collagen remodelling, pico lasers can be useful in reducing the visibility of acne scars.
Pico Laser treatments can help reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, especially on the face and neck.
Pico Lasers may contribute to the reduction of enlarged pores, enhancing overall skin texture.
Pico Laser, short for picosecond laser, works by delivering ultra-short pulses of laser energy in the picosecond range (one trillionth of a second). This is significantly shorter than the pulses generated by traditional lasers, which often operate in the nanosecond range.
The photoacoustic effect in Pico Laser technology allows the laser energy to be rapidly absorbed by targeted tissues, creating a pressure wave or acoustic shockwave. This effect is a key mechanism in Pico Lasers, contributing to their efficacy in breaking down pigment particles in the skin, such as those in pigmented lesions or tattoo ink.
PicoLO’s DOE Fractional Laser Beam can safely generate optical breakdown in tissue, leading to an enhanced inflammatory healing process resulting in production of collagen and elastin.
Stability is a key factor to maintain peak power to deliver optimal results with picosecond lasers. LASEROPTEK provides the highest stability in both output energy and pulse duration at 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths. This high stability can be maintained throughout and helps to induce LIOB even at low fluence.
There is little downtime associated with Pico Laser as it is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure. Following therapy, patients can resume their regular activities. It is also adaptable and useful for a number of purposes, such as treating acne scars, tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, and pigmentation correction.
Traditional Laser vs PICO Laser
Pico Laser can be beneficial for several reasons. These include:
Due to its versatility, Pico Laser can be used to target various skin concerns which includes pigmentation, tattoo removal, improving fine lines, and many more.
Skin rejuvenation is achieved through the stimulation of collagen from Pico Laser procedure. A youthful appearance is easily obtained from an improvement in skin elasticity, firmness, and texture.
The treatment can be tailored according to each skin type and concerns. Our doctor will help put together a bespoke treatment by adjusting parameters such as pulse duration and energy level based on an individual’s needs.
Pico Laser treatments often result in less downtime compared to some traditional laser treatments. The minimised impact on surrounding tissues and the body’s natural clearance of fragmented pigments contribute to quicker recovery times.
Pico Lasers are highly effective for tattoo removal due to their ability to break down tattoo ink into smaller fragments. This facilitates the body’s natural clearance of the ink, resulting in gradual tattoo fading.
Pico Lasers can address various pigmentation concerns, including sunspots, age spots, freckles, and melasma. The precise targeting of pigment particles leads to effective pigmentation correction.

Dhilla2024-07-11I had my HIFU + MFU + RF treatment at Glowwis Aesthetic for the first time. I was scared it would be painful but surprisingly the pain was very minimal. The therapist applied my treatment area with numbing cream before the treatment. After one session, my sagging skin on my chin felt tighter. My neck and cheeks were firmer. I had some redness, but it disappeared after next morning after I woke up (Which is about 16 hours after treatment). Dr. Sam and team did an amazing job. Not to mention the patience and the professionalism of Dr. Sam. No hard selling. see you soon again!
Jane Chan2024-07-09I trust Glowwis Aesthetic, especially Dr. Sam for my Juvelook collagen booster. I had my second treatment recently. One month after the first treatment I witnessed improvement in skin firmness, pores and fine wrinkles. During the first consultation, Dr. Sam advised on the best collagen skin booster for my skin concerns after assessing the skin. He took quite a while to address all my concerns and answer my questions which I appreciate, as I have previously experienced doctors rushing through the consultation. The first treatment of Juvelook was kind of painful but was bearable to me. The second treatment was only a little bit painful; I think my skin got used to it. I recommend Dr. Sam for Juvelook injection. No Hard selling. The staff was helpful & friendly. Thanks.
zhang jiamin2024-07-04I had acne breakouts very often in my teenage years, so I had some acne scars on my both cheeks. Went for my appointment and met Dr. Sam at Glowwis Aesthetic couple of months ago for acne scar removal treatments. He had a customised treatment plan for my acne scars consists of microneedle RF, Subcision and collagen boosters. I had to go through few sessions of treatments, and OMG! My acne scars started to flatten and lighten even before I finish my treatments! SO happy!!! Worth every penny! The staff didn’t try to hard sell but only what I needed. Highly recommended 😀
DXXNDRX2024-05-15I did HIFU 3 in one treatment (HIFU + MFU + RF). There was a Dr. Consultation session before the treatment, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sam as he was listening to all my concerns attentively and educated me about the HIFU treatment in detail. There was numbing cream applied before the treatment and the pain during the treatment was bearable to me. There was an immediate lifting on my face after the HIFU 3 in one treatment and I am happy with my experience at Glowwis. Finally, I would also like to mention the staff who were very helpful and understanding.
june sweetoo2024-05-08I have visited this clinic at Capitol Mall in City Hall for their HIFU 3 in one treatment. I would rate the service of Dr. Sam and the staff high, because they all were helpful and taken good care of me during the time I was at Glowwis. I realised that Dr. Sam is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I learnt how he generates noticeable results by customised techniques in placing HIFU shots on to different areas of the face and neck. The pain was tolerable during the procedure and MFU + RF had a zero-pain level. The staff applied numbing cream and waited for some time before the procedure. There was mild redness after the procedure and was back to normal by the time I woke up the next morning. A mild soreness lasted for about a day also. Highly Recommend Dr. Sam for HIFU treatment.
Jennifer Aw2024-04-24Was searching for aesthetic treatment for my freckles and found Dr Sam whose super skillful and detailed! it's my first time trying Curas laser and my second time trying Pico laser. The whole process from the detail skin analysis and the recommendation of the treatment was a breeze! Dr Sam assured me that my condition has no downtime which was lucky for me! The pain is nil to minimal for these treatments and I feel safe under Dr Sam's care. Love that there's zero hard sell which make the experience so much better. Would like to praise Kristabelle cos she's super friendly and approachable through my experience at Glowwis. Would definitely visit them again! Looking forward to glowy skin soon!!
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
Celeste Chua2024-04-09Had a good consultation and treatment experience with Dr.Sam. He catered the treatment according to my skin concerns and conditions including pico laser, q-switch and co2 laser. Throughout the treatment, Dr.Sam made sure that i’m doing good and comfortable with the treatment

Pico laser technology is designed to be safe for various skin types, including fair to dark skin tones. The ultra-short pulses minimise the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues, making it suitable for a broad range of individuals.
Patients often report less discomfort during Pico laser treatments compared to some traditional lasers. The ultra-short pulses contribute to a more comfortable experience. Topical numbing agents may be applied to enhance patient comfort.
The number of sessions required depends on the specific skin concern being addressed and individual factors. While some individuals may see results after a single session, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal outcomes. Our doctor will provide personalised recommendations during the consultation.
Results from Pico Laser treatments can be long-lasting, but maintenance sessions may be recommended for certain concerns. The longevity of results depends on factors such as the treated condition, individual skin characteristics, and lifestyle factors.
