$699.00 | 45 minutes - 1 hour

Pico FX is an advanced fractionated laser treatment designed to address deeper skin concerns including acne scarring, textural irregularities and more advanced pigmentation. Performed using the Enlighten SR Pico Laser, this treatment delivers high-intensity picosecond energy into the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling and support overall skin renewal.

Unlike standard Pico Genesis treatments, Pico FX uses a specialised fractionated handpiece to target the deeper layers of the skin. This creates controlled micro-injury within the dermis, triggering the skin’s natural repair response and supporting improvements in texture, tone and structural quality over time.

Due to the depth and intensity of this treatment, downtime is expected and will vary depending on the treatment settings and individual skin response.

This treatment is priced for the face. Additional areas and add-on treatments can be discussed and quoted during your consultation based on your personalised treatment plan.

How Pico FX Works

Pico FX utilises picosecond laser energy delivered through a fractionated lens array to create targeted micro-injury within the skin. These controlled treatment zones stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging collagen and elastin production.

This process supports dermal remodelling, helping to improve skin texture, refine scarring and enhance overall skin quality.

The Enlighten SR system allows for precise energy delivery with reduced thermal damage compared to traditional ablative lasers, providing a more controlled and tailored treatment approach.

Pico FX is commonly selected for:

  • Acne scarring
  • Textural irregularities
  • Enlarged pores
  • Deeper pigmentation concerns
  • Skin rejuvenation requiring a more intensive approach

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Pico FX can be performed on a range of areas, including:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Targeted areas of the body affected by scarring or textural concerns

Treatment suitability is assessed based on your skin condition and treatment goals.


What to Expect During Treatment

During the procedure, you may experience a stronger warming or snapping sensation compared to standard Pico treatments.

Topical numbing is typically recommended for Pico FX to support comfort, particularly when treating deeper skin layers or more sensitive areas.

Treatment intensity will be adjusted based on your skin type, concern and tolerance.


Downtime & Recovery

Pico FX involves a period of downtime as the skin undergoes its natural healing and regeneration process. Following treatment, you may experience:

  • Redness and swelling
  • Sensitivity or warmth in the treated area
  • Temporary roughness or dryness
  • Mild flaking as the skin renews

These responses are expected and form part of the treatment process. Downtime can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment and individual skin response.

Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and optimise results.


Treatment Planning

Pico FX is typically performed as part of a structured treatment plan. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of the concern, particularly for acne scarring and deeper textural changes.

In some cases, Pico FX may be combined with other treatments or skincare to support optimal results. Your practitioner will guide you through a personalised plan based on your skin condition and goals.

At SM Aesthetic Lab, consultations are conducted as part of your appointment to determine whether Pico FX is appropriate for your skin and concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Most tattoos require multiple sessions to achieve gradual fading. The number of treatments depends on the tattoo’s size, colour, depth and your body’s response.

Will my tattoo be completely removed?

Complete removal is not always possible. Many tattoos can be significantly lightened, and in some cases, nearly removed. This will be discussed during your consultation.

 

Is there downtime after treatment?

There is typically some short-term downtime, including redness, swelling or mild sensitivity. Your practitioner will guide you through appropriate aftercare.
