AUREA BGC — Pigment & Scar Correction
Pico Laser
Picosecond laser technology for melasma, sun spots, acne scars, and skin brightening in BGC.
Treatment Overview
Pico Laser at AUREA BGC represents the next generation of pigment correction. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, picosecond technology delivers energy in trillionths of a second - shattering pigment into microscopic particles without significant thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
This makes Pico Laser exceptionally safe for Asian and Filipino skin, which is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from heat-based treatments. Our board-certified dermatologists calibrate every parameter - wavelength, spot size, fluence - to your unique skin type.
Whether you are treating melasma, sun spots, acne scars, or seeking overall brightening, AUREA's Pico Laser protocols are designed for visible, progressive results with minimal downtime.

The Experience
What to Expect
Consultation: Your dermatologist performs a Wood's lamp examination and VISIA analysis to identify pigment depth and distribution. We assess skin type, sun exposure habits, and melasma history to design your protocol.
Preparation: Skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied for 30–45 minutes. Eye protection is fitted. We perform a test spot to confirm your skin's response.
Treatment: The Pico Laser handpiece delivers ultra-short pulses across the treatment area. You will hear a snapping sound and feel mild warmth. Session duration is 20–45 minutes depending on area size.
Aftercare: Skin will appear slightly pink or frosted for 24–48 hours. Strict sun protection is mandatory. We provide a post-treatment kit with medical-grade sunscreen and soothing cream. A follow-up call is made on day 3.
Results: Pigment begins fading within 1–2 weeks. Melasma protocols require 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Acne scar improvement is progressive over 3 months.

Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery & Aftercare
Pico Laser downtime is minimal for pigment treatments. Resurfacing protocols require slightly longer recovery. Our dermatologists provide specific aftercare for every laser type.
Mild warmth and pinkness after pigment treatment. Resurfacing may show more noticeable redness. Cooling soothes the skin.
Pigment laser redness subsides. Resurfacing skin begins healing. Strict sun protection begins immediately.
Pigmented spots may darken temporarily (peppering) before flaking off. This is a positive sign of pigment breaking down.
Pigment begins fading visibly. Skin brightens and evens. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours for pigment treatments.
Progressive improvement between sessions. Multi-session protocols deliver cumulative, dramatic brightening and scar improvement.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked
Is Pico Laser safe for Filipino skin?
Yes — and this is precisely why we chose Pico technology at AUREA BGC. Traditional nanosecond lasers generate heat that can trigger PIH in melanin-rich skin. Pico Laser's ultra-short pulse duration minimizes heat, making it one of the safest pigment treatments for Filipino, Asian, and darker skin tones.
How many Pico Laser sessions are needed for melasma?
Melasma is a complex, multi-factorial condition. At AUREA BGC, we typically recommend 4–6 Pico Laser sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, combined with medical-grade home care. Severe or dermal melasma may require more sessions. Your dermatologist will set realistic expectations during consultation.
Will Pico Laser remove my acne scars completely?
Pico Laser significantly improves acne scars — particularly boxcar and rolling scars — by stimulating collagen remodeling and breaking down scar tissue. Most clients see 50–70% improvement after 3–5 sessions. Complete removal is not always possible, but dramatic improvement is achievable.
What is the downtime after Pico Laser?
Minimal. Most clients experience mild redness for 24–48 hours. Some pigmented spots may darken temporarily (the "peppering" effect) before flaking off. You can resume normal activities immediately with strict sun protection. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours.
Can Pico Laser be combined with other treatments?
Pico Laser pairs well with Rejuran (for scar remodeling and skin quality), medical facials (for hydration), and brightening IVs. We typically space treatments by 2–4 weeks. Your AUREA dermatologist will sequence your protocol for maximum synergy.
