The Discovery Pico Plus is a powerful, medical-grade picosecond laser platform designed for dual-action skin revitalization. While traditional laser skin resurfacing relies on heat to remove outer skin layers, the Discovery Pico Plus utilizes high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations to transform skin structure safely from within.
By combining multiple wavelengths, including 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 694 nm, with fractional handpieces, the Discovery Pico Plus simultaneously targets skin tone and deeper structural irregularities like uneven texture, fine lines, and enlarged pores.
What Types of Sun Damage and Texture Issues Can Picosecond Lasers Correct?
A multi-wavelength platform like the Discovery Pico Plus gives aesthetic practitioners the versatility to treat a broad range of skin concerns for all skin types:
- Sun Spots and Solar Lentigines: Shatters accumulated melanin clusters caused by UV exposure.
- Textural Roughness & Enlarged Pores: Smooths skin grain by rebuilding the dermal matrix.
- Post-Acne Scarring: Breaks up scar tissue and restores smooth tissue volume.
- Fine Lines & Early Aging Signs: Stimulates collagen to plump delicate facial skin.
- Uneven Skin Tone & Dullness: Clears superficial pigmentation for a brighter, radiant complexation.
Why Is Fall the Best Time for Patients to Start Picosecond Skin Treatments?
As summer transitions into fall, client demand for skin restoration peaks. Treating sun damage and texture concerns during the autumn months provides distinct clinical and operational advantages:
- Lower UV Exposure: Shorter daylight hours make it easier for patients to follow post-treatment sun protection guidelines.
- Summer Damage Reversal: Addresses the immediate aftermath of beach trips, vacations, and intense UV exposure before pigment sets permanently.
- Holiday Readiness: Starting a 2-to-3 session series in September or October ensures patients achieve glowing, smooth skin in time for late-year events and holiday gatherings.
How Does Picosecond Technology Fit Into an Aesthetic Practice’s Treatment Menu?
Offering picosecond skin revitalization with the Discovery Pico Plus allows practices to attract a wide demographic beyond just tattoo removal:
- High Patient Satisfaction: Noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture occur with little to no social downtime (typically just mild, temporary redness).
- Year-Round Demand: While fall is the peak season for sun damage, skin smoothing and collagen stimulation are year-round patient goals.
- Versatile Wavelength Delivery: FDA-cleared aesthetic treatments to safely treat all skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Discovery Pico Plus improve both skin tone and skin texture at the same time?
The Discovery Pico Plus uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to break apart dark pigment while creating Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) in the dermis. LIOB stimulates new collagen and elastin remodeling (improving texture) without damaging the top layer of skin.
How many picosecond treatment sessions are needed to smooth skin texture?
Most patients will need 2 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal improvement in skin texture, pore size, and sun damage clearance.
Is there downtime after a Discovery Pico Plus skin revitalization treatment?
Downtime is minimal. Patients typically experience mild erythema (redness) similar to a slight sunburn for 24 to 48 hours, but can resume normal daily activities.
Can picosecond lasers safely treat skin texture on darker skin tones?
Yes. Because picosecond lasers rely on photoacoustic pressure rather than high heat, the risk of inducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is significantly lower, making it safe across a wider spectrum of skin tones when using proper wavelength protocols.
