Pico Laser Treatment in Islamabad

A Laser That Actually Works on Pakistani Skin Tones

For many people in Islamabad, skin concerns such as dark spots, melasma, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone can feel impossible to fix. Creams, facials, and even traditional lasers often fall short — sometimes making pigmentation worse instead of better.

At Silk Skin Doctor in Gulberg Greens, Dr. Shafia Mudassir brings the latest FDA-approved Pico Laser technology to Pakistan. Unlike older lasers, Pico Laser is safe for all skin types, including medium to darker South Asian complexions, and delivers visible improvements in a shorter time frame.

What is Pico Laser and How is it Different?

Traditional lasers use heat energy to target skin concerns. While this may work for lighter skin, it carries risks for brown and olive skin tones, such as burns, irritation, or rebound pigmentation.

Pico Laser takes a completely different approach. It delivers ultra-short pulses of energy measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). These pulses break down unwanted pigmentation into tiny fragments that the body naturally clears away.

Think of it this way:

  • Old lasers = melting an ice cube with fire (risk of burning).
  • Pico Laser = breaking the ice cube with tiny, precise taps (no damage to surrounding skin).

The result is clearer, smoother skin with less risk and downtime. Explore Skin Whitening Treatment in Islamabad to enhance overall complexion and glow.
