PicoLife Laser & Advanced Skin Programs
Clear pigmentation, improve skin texture, and safely fade unwanted tattoos with advanced Picosecond Laser technology.

What is PicoLift?
PicoLift is an advanced picosecond laser treatment that uses ultra-fast energy pulses to target pigment while supporting collagen stimulation.
It works by breaking pigment into tiny particles your body can naturally clear, while also helping to improve overall skin quality, including tone, texture, and radiance.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort and little downtime, making it a popular option for both targeted correction and full skin rejuvenation.
PicoLift can also be used for safe and effective tattoo removal, including cosmetic brow tattoos.

✧ Suitable for face and selected body areas

PicoLift FAQs
What is PicoLift
PicoLift is an advanced picosecond laser treatment used for pigmentation, skin rejuvenation, and tattoo removal. It delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break down unwanted pigment while stimulating collagen production to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity over time.
Does PicoLift hurt?
Most clients describe PicoLift as a quick snapping sensation on the skin. Discomfort levels vary depending on the treatment area, but it is generally well tolerated. Numbing options may be used for larger areas or tattoo removal if required.
What does PicoLift treat?
PicoLift can help improve:
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Freckles and uneven skin tone
• Acne scarring
• Fine lines and dullness
• Enlarged pores
• Unwanted tattoo pigment
Your suitability is assessed during consultation.
Is there downtime after PicoLift?
Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight darkening of pigmentation before it gradually fades. Most clients return to normal activities quickly, though sun protection is essential during healing.
How many PicoLift treatments will I need?
Most pigmentation and skin rejuvenation concerns require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. Tattoo removal may require multiple sessions depending on the size, colour, and depth of the ink.
Your personalised plan is discussed during consultation.
Is PicoLift safe for all skin types?
PicoLift is suitable for most skin types and tones when performed correctly. During your consultation, we assess your skin history, pigmentation type, and overall skin health to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. A patch test may be recommended to confirm suitability and minimise risk before proceeding with treatment.
Laser Tattoo Removal FAQs
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick flicking or snapping feeling on the skin. Discomfort levels vary depending on the treatment area and tattoo size. PicoLift uses ultra-short picosecond energy pulses, which typically reduce excessive heat build-up compared to older laser systems. Cooling measures can be used to improve comfort where needed.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the tattoo’s size, colour, ink depth, and age. Professional tattoos and multi-coloured ink generally require more treatments than smaller or older tattoos. During your consultation, we’ll assess your tattoo and outline a realistic, personalised treatment plan.
Will it damage my brow hair?
PicoLift is designed to target pigment in the skin, not the hair follicle. In most cases, brow hairs remain intact. Temporary lightening of brow hair can occasionally occur but typically resolves as the hair regrows. Your suitability will be assessed during consultation.
How often can I have treatments?
Treatments are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and your body to gradually clear fragmented pigment. In some cases, longer intervals may be recommended depending on the treatment area and skin response.
What’s the aftercare like?
You may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity following treatment. In some cases, light frosting or darkening of the tattoo may occur before fading.
Aftercare generally includes:
• Keeping the area clean and dry
• Avoiding sun exposure
• Applying recommended soothing products
• Following the personalised aftercare instructions provided
Proper aftercare supports optimal healing and results.
