At SRGN Clinic, we use the Picostar laser, an advanced device designed to target unwanted pigmentation, revitalise ageing skin, and safely remove tattoos. Only Available Ascot & Surrey Clinic.
Picostar is a high-spec, medical-grade laser system that uses ultra-short pulse technology to break down pigment and stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative response. It is suitable for all skin types and tones and is widely recognised for its effectiveness in:
Unlike traditional lasers, Picostar works in picoseconds, meaning each pulse is delivered at an incredibly rapid speed. This minimises thermal damage, reduces discomfort, and shortens recovery time, making it a preferred option for patients seeking visible results without extended downtime.
Unwanted pigmentation, whether caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, can be stubborn and difficult to treat with topical products alone.
Picostar targets melanin at various depths of the skin using its ultra-fast energy delivery. The pigment particles are shattered into tiny fragments, which the body then naturally clears over time.
Common pigmentation concerns treated with Picostar include:
Age spots and sun spots
Because the laser energy is delivered in such short pulses, the surrounding skin remains protected, making it a safe option even for clients with darker skin tones when performed by trained professionals.
Picostar’s advanced technology makes it safe for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types when handled by an experienced practitioner. At SRGN Clinic, every patient undergoes a full consultation and patch test before treatment to assess suitability and minimise risk.
For those with darker skin tones, we take additional precautions to prevent post-treatment pigmentation changes, using conservative energy settings and tailored treatment intervals.
Picostar is also a highly effective tool for laser tattoo removal, offering faster results and less discomfort compared to older laser systems. The device breaks ink particles down into smaller fragments using precise energy pulses, allowing the body to naturally flush them out through the lymphatic system.
It is suitable for:
Most tattoos require multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on factors such as ink depth, colour, and skin type. Our practitioners will assess your tattoo and provide a personalised treatment plan.
SRGN Clinic is committed to combining medical expertise with advanced technology. All Picostar treatments are delivered by qualified practitioners with experience in laser safety and skin physiology. Our approach prioritises patient safety, results, and personalised care.
Whether you’re seeking a brighter, more even complexion, targeted pigment removal, or expert tattoo fading, you can trust our team to guide you through a safe and effective treatment journey.
Yes, Pico lasers are clinically proven to work effectively for treating pigmentation, skin rejuvenation, and tattoo removal. By delivering ultra-fast energy pulses in picoseconds, the laser breaks down pigment particles and stimulates collagen without causing thermal damage to surrounding skin. Most patients see progressive improvement over a series of treatments, especially when guided by an experienced practitioner.
Picostar is a type of advanced Pico laser that delivers energy in extremely short bursts (picoseconds) to target pigmentation, stimulate skin regeneration, and remove unwanted tattoos. Its precision and speed make it suitable for all skin types, with minimal discomfort and downtime. At SRGN Clinic, it's used for skin rejuvenation, treating uneven pigmentation, and safely fading tattoos.
The cost of Pico laser treatments can vary depending on the area treated, the number of sessions required, and the specific concern being addressed. A thorough consultation is the best way to assess what’s needed. At SRGN Clinic, we tailor treatment plans to your individual goals and skin type, ensuring safe, effective results.
Several Pico lasers on the market offer high performance, but power alone isn’t the key factor — it’s about precision, pulse speed, and how well the device is matched to the patient’s needs. Picostar is among the advanced systems available, offering fast, targeted energy delivery with excellent safety for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, and tattoo removal.
While Pico lasers are generally safe and well-tolerated, some patients may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity after treatment. In rare cases, there may be temporary changes in pigmentation, particularly if aftercare isn’t followed correctly. Choosing a qualified practitioner and having a proper consultation can greatly reduce these risks.
