Where the sun playfully kisses the Margalla Hills and the vibrant beat of city life is at its strongest, many find themselves waging war against a common but infuriating enemy: dark spots.
Whether they have been born from years of sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or the remnant effects of previous acne scars, these persistent spots seem to be unwelcome guests on one’s skin.
For most, the search for smoother skin is a never-ending quest—creams that promise miraculous results, tried and tested home remedies through generations, and routines that need patience but too frequently result in slow improvement.
But in the recent past, a miracle solution has emerged in the realm of aesthetic care, one that combines state-of-the-art technology with precision: the Pico Laser. So, Does Pico Laser Remove Dark Spots?
At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi Clinic, this state-of-the-art treatment is rewriting the narratives of confidence, one pulse of light at a time.
Understanding Dark Spots: More Than Skin Deep
Dark spots, or medically, hyperpigmentation, are when excess melanin, the color-causing pigment, is produced in a given area.
Typical causes in Pakistan are:
- Excessive sun exposure (an issue in our sun-drenched climate)
- Hormonal changes (like pregnancy-induced melasma)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of acne
- Aging
The spots themselves are harmless but can hurt self-esteem, particularly in a culture where pale, radiant skin is highly prized.
Chemical peels or lightening topical creams are traditional ways of treating patches of color, but they take time, are time-consuming, require repeated applications, and might not correct underlying pigmentation.
That’s where Pico Laser comes in.
What is a Pico Laser, and How Does it Function?
Pico Laser is a progressive, non-surgical generation FDA-accredited to deal with pigmentation with unprecedented accuracy.
Unlike older lasers that rely on heat, Pico Laser releases extremely short pulses of electricity, each in picoseconds (trillionths of a second).
These brief pulses:
- Break up pigment particles into microscopic portions
- Do not destroy surrounding tissue
Picture holding a microscopic hammer and crushing a walnut: the shell, or dark spot, is destroyed, but the fruit, your healthy skin, is unbroken.
The body’s natural processes then remove these particles, revealing fresher, more evenly toned skin.
What Pico Laser Offers Differently for Dark Spot Removal
- Speed and Efficiency: Conventional lasers may require 6–8 sessions, but Pico Laser typically generates results in 3–4 treatments.
- Flexibility: It treats sunspots, age spots, melasma, and even stubborn acne scars.
- Minimum Downtime: No thermal damage means fast healing—ideal for Islamabad’s working professionals.
- Safety for All Skin Types: Minimizes risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation across Pakistan’s diverse skin tones.
The Experience of Treatment at Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s Clinic

It starts with a detailed consultation. Dr. Fazeela evaluates:

Dr. Fazeela’s Post-Treatment Advice:
- Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen
- Wide-brimmed hats

- Marked fading occurs after 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Melasma and deeper pigmentation may need more treatments.
- Dr. Fazeela’s staff remains supportive and realistic through the journey.
Why Pico Laser Over Other Treatments?
Compared to:
- Chemical peels (drying)
- Microdermabrasion (surface-level only)
Pico Laser is:
- Deeper and more precise

Addressing Common Concerns
Is it painful?
Comfortable for most—like a rubber band snap.
Any side effects?
Mild redness or swelling may occur, but it fades quickly.
