Pico Fractional Laser Treatment: Target Areas, Treatment Process, and Cost

Fractional Pico Laser uses a Microlens Array (MLA) to split each laser pulse into hundreds of microspots. This creates Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) — controlled microcavities within the dermis.

LIOB may activate the body’s natural repair processes, which can support collagen-related activity. This process may contribute to gradual improvements in skin texture and tone, including:

• A reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores
• A softening in the appearance of acne scars
• An improvement in the look of uneven skin texture over time

Your doctor will adjust treatment settings based on your skin profile and areas of concern, whether related to pores, acne scars, or both. Fractional delivery enables focused treatment while aiming to limit effects on surrounding skin, which may support a shorter recovery time for some individuals.

*Please note: Prices may vary depending on individual needs. A consultation is required to confirm treatment suitability and provide an accurate cost estimate.

Before treatment, you will have a consultation with a qualified doctor to:

• Assess your skin type and tone
• Evaluate the visibility of pores, acne scars, and overall texture concerns
• Determine whether the Fractional Pico Laser is appropriate for your goals
• Recommend a personalised treatment plan

Each session typically involves:

• Cleansing of the treatment area to remove makeup, sunscreen, or surface impurities
• Application of a topical anaesthetic if needed
• Delivery of Fractional Pico Laser pulses using MLA, targeting the affected areas
• Post-treatment soothing and application of calming skincare and sun protection

Each session typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You may experience mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. Discomfort levels can vary depending on individual skin sensitivity.

Can Pico Fractional Laser treatment be carried out in areas that have undergone other laser treatments?

Pico Fractional Laser may be suitable for areas that have undergone other laser procedures. This depends on the type of prior treatment, how much time has passed since the last session, and your skin’s current condition. A consultation is necessary to assess suitability and ensure a safe treatment approach.

Is Pico Fractional Laser suitable for all skin types?

The Pico Fractional Laser may be suitable for a wide range of skin tones, including those with darker skin types. Your doctor will assess your skin and adjust treatment settings based on your tone, sensitivity, and concerns to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Fractional Pico Laser may support gradual skin renewal by stimulating collagen-related activity over time.

Some individuals may observe:

• A reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores
• A softening in the look of acne scars
• Gradual improvement in skin texture over time
• A more refreshed skin appearance, depending on individual response

For some individuals, visible changes may develop gradually over a series of treatments and may continue to evolve in the months that follow.

Your doctor may recommend maintenance sessions and skincare adjustments to help support ongoing care.

Results vary depending on individual skin type, the concerns being addressed, and adherence to post-treatment care instructions.

To support recovery and minimise the risk of irritation:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after treatment
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect treated areas
• Use gentle skincare products; avoid exfoliants or actives unless advised by your doctor
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours to minimise heat and sweat-related irritation

At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, Pico Fractional Laser treatment is priced at five sessions for $3,000*. The number of sessions required may vary depending on the severity of your skin concerns, such as acne scars, texture irregularities, or fine lines, and the treatment area involved.

During your consultation, your doctor will assess your skin condition and determine whether this treatment is suitable, as well as recommend the number of sessions based on your treatment goals.

*Please note: Prices may vary based on individual needs. A consultation is required to provide an accurate cost estimate and assess treatment suitability.

At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we use Fractional Pico Laser with a Microlens Array (MLA) to address concerns such as enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

The MLA attachment delivers ultra-short picosecond laser pulses, creating Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) — controlled microcavities within the dermis. This process may support the skin’s natural repair response, which can contribute to gradual changes in:

• The appearance of enlarged pores
• The look of acne scars
• Skin texture over time

Your doctor will adjust treatment settings based on your skin type and concerns, with the aim of achieving a suitable clinical outcome.

For more information on how this approach may be used for enlarged pores, refer to our dedicated Pico Laser for Pores page.

At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, Pico Fractional Laser treatments are conducted following clinical assessment and based on established protocols suitable for your skin type and concerns. Each treatment plan is developed based on clinical findings, with consideration for your individual skin profile.

Treatment options are reviewed regularly and guided by clinical evaluation to match your skin concerns and goals.
