Advanced Pico Laser for Pigmentation, Rejuvenation, and More
What Is Pico Laser Treatment?
Pico laser therapy uses ultra-short bursts of energy — measured in picoseconds, or trillionths of a second — to shatter pigment particles and stimulate skin renewal without generating significant heat. Because the energy is delivered so rapidly, it breaks down pigment more effectively and with less risk of heat damage to the surrounding skin than traditional lasers.
At Moza Med Spa, our Pico Laser is used for three primary applications: rejuvenation facials, pigmented lesion removal, and tattoo removal. It is one of the most versatile and effective laser treatments available — and one of the few that works safely and effectively across a wide range of skin tones.

Three Ways We Use Pico Laser at Moza Med Spa
Pico Laser Applications
Rejuvenation Facial: The Pico Laser Rejuvenation Facial stimulates collagen and elastin production while improving skin tone and texture. It is a full-face treatment that leaves skin looking visibly brighter, smoother, and more even.
Pigmented Lesion Treatment: For targeted dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and post-acne marks, the Pico Laser delivers precise energy directly to the pigmented area, breaking it down without affecting surrounding skin.
Tattoo Removal: Pico laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short energy pulses to shatter tattoo ink particles so the body can clear them naturally over time. Results vary depending on ink color, depth, tattoo age, and your skin's response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is pico laser and how is it different from other lasers?
Pico laser therapy delivers energy in picosecond pulses — trillionths of a second — which is significantly faster than traditional nanosecond lasers. This ultra-fast delivery shatters pigment particles through a photomechanical effect rather than relying primarily on heat, allowing for more effective pigment clearance with less thermal damage.
What does pico laser treat?
At Moza Med Spa, pico laser is used for rejuvenation facials, pigmented lesion treatment for dark spots and melasma, post-acne marks, and tattoo removal. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production for improved skin quality over time.
What are the main pico laser benefits?
Key benefits include precise pigment removal, minimal damage to surrounding tissue, a safer profile for medium and darker skin tones, collagen and elastin stimulation, versatility across multiple treatment types, and minimal downtime.
Is pico laser safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Pico laser has a stronger safety profile for medium to darker skin tones than IPL or many traditional laser systems because it works primarily through a photomechanical effect rather than heat. Our team selects the appropriate settings for your complexion.
How many pico laser sessions will I need?
For pigmentation concerns, most clients see significant improvement in two to four sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. Pico laser rejuvenation facials are often performed as a series of three to six sessions. Tattoo removal typically requires more sessions depending on tattoo size, color, and age.
What does pico laser before and after look like?
Pico laser before and after results typically show reduced dark spots, melasma, and post-acne discoloration, along with improved skin clarity, texture, and radiance. Tattoo removal results show progressive fading with each session.
How does pico laser compare to IPL for pigmentation?
IPL is effective for diffuse sun damage and mild to moderate pigmentation on lighter skin tones. Pico laser is more precise, works on a wider range of skin tones, and is better suited for stubborn or deeper pigmentation like melasma and post-acne marks.
How much does pico laser treatment cost in Greenwood Village?
Pico laser treatment cost varies depending on the application — rejuvenation facial, pigmented lesion treatment, or tattoo removal — as well as the size of the area and number of sessions needed. Contact Moza Med Spa for current pricing.
