New to Pico laser? Read the full guide to Pico laser for pigmentation in Newport Beach — what it treats, how many sessions you'll need, and what recovery looks like — before booking.
Picosecond laser treatment for pigmentation, performed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
Pico laser delivers energy in picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second — which shatters pigment mechanically rather than heating it. Less heat means less risk of the post-inflammatory pigmentation that older laser technology can trigger, which is why it's used across a broader range of skin tones.
Treats: sun spots and age spots · melasma · post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation · uneven skin tone and texture · freckles and general pigment irregularity
Spot Treatment — targeted pigment in a defined area.
Full Face — diffuse pigmentation, overall tone and clarity.
Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Sun spots often respond faster; melasma is a chronic condition that typically needs the full series plus maintenance.
Treated pigment darkens for the first day or two before flaking away over the following week. That's expected — it means the treatment worked.
