Body Pico ToningTreatment overview

Pico Toning uses picosecond pulses, which are much shorter than the nanosecond pulses of conventional toning lasers. The short pulses are designed to limit damage to surrounding tissue.
It also uses wavelengths that melanin responds to strongly, so pigmentation can be treated more precisely. This makes it effective for brightening darker, dull areas such as the elbows, knees, and armpits.
