Pico laser for pigmentation and tattoo removal
Very short laser pulses that break up pigment and tattoo ink, planned by dermatologist Dr. Omkar Warang, DNB.
TreatsPigment and tattoo ink
SessionsSeveral
DowntimeA few days
ResultsFade over weeks
Pigment that creams can't reach
Some pigmentation, such as sun spots, freckles and certain birthmarks, and unwanted tattoos sit in the skin as tiny particles of colour. Creams can’t always reach them.
How pico laser works
A pico laser delivers energy in extremely short pulses. This breaks pigment or ink into tiny fragments that the body clears over the following weeks.
- Pigmentation: sun spots, freckles and selected pigment problems
- Tattoo removal: fades ink gradually; dark colours usually respond best
- Skin quality: some settings can improve texture and tone
- Sessions: several, a few weeks apart

How many sessions are needed for tattoo removal?

Is pico laser suitable for melasma?
Melasma needs careful assessment; laser is used only for selected cases and alongside other treatment.
Does it hurt?
It feels like quick snaps on the skin. A numbing cream can make it more comfortable.
