What it is

PiQo4 Laser Facial uses picosecond laser technology to address sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, and overall tone in a single treatment. Picosecond pulses deliver energy 1,000x faster than older laser systems—less heat, less downtime, better results.

What to expect

The treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes. The sensation feels like a quick snap or warm pinpoint. Most patients tolerate the full face without topical numbing, but it's available.

Mild redness and warmth for a few hours, fading by the next morning in most patients. Treated spots may darken briefly before clearing. Some patients see a "frosted" appearance immediately post-treatment that resolves in 30 to 60 minutes.

Sun protection is essential (SPF 30 minimum, daily). Skip retinoids and active actives for 3 to 5 days. Most patients book a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for cumulative results.

What we offer

PiQo4 Laser Facial is $325 per session. A series of 3 to 5 sessions recommended for full results. Optional add-ons: Add Neck ($100), Add Neck & Décolletage ($200). Treatments recommended every 4 to 6 weeks for ongoing skin health.

Benefits

PICOSECOND TECHNOLOGY

Ultra-fast laser pulses break down pigment and stimulate collagen with less heat and less downtime than older lasers.

BRIGHTER COMPLEXION

Treats sun damage, age spots, and uneven tone for a more luminous, even skin appearance.

SOFTENED FINE LINES

Triggers collagen production for improvement in fine lines and overall skin texture.

ALL SKIN TONES

Picosecond pulses are safer for darker skin than older laser systems—we screen carefully and adjust settings.

MINIMAL DOWNTIME

About 24 hours of mild redness, then back to normal—no peeling, no scabbing.

Good to know

Recovery about 1 day—mild redness and slight swelling for 24 hours. Some patients develop temporary darker tone in treated pigmentation areas that fades over 5 to 10 days. Strict SPF, gentle cleanser, heavy moisturizer during healing. Skip retinoids and active acids for 5 to 7 days. Safer for darker skin tones than older laser systems—we adjust settings appropriately.

The treatment

30 to 45 minute session. Topical numbing applied for 20 minutes before. The laser passes over the face in a methodical pattern—each pulse feels like a quick snap. We adjust settings based on your skin type and goals.

PiQo4 is a picosecond laser—delivering ultra-fast pulses (a trillionth of a second) at four wavelengths. We use it for: tattoo removal across all ink colors, melasma treatment, sun damage and pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and general facial rejuvenation. It's one of the most versatile lasers available.

What is the PiQo4 laser and what does it treat?

Speed and gentleness. Older lasers used nanosecond pulses (one billionth of a second). PiQo4's picosecond pulses are 1000x faster, generating less heat per pulse. Result: more effective ink/pigment shattering, less thermal damage, less downtime, and ability to safely treat darker skin tones.

How is PiQo4 different from other lasers?

For ongoing skin health and sustained results, treatments are recommended on a regular cycle every 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3–5 sessions for tone, texture, and pigmentation. Specific issues (deep melasma, significant sun damage) may need additional sessions.

How many PiQo4 facial sessions will I need?

Each pulse feels like a quick snap. The treatment is fast—a full face takes 15–20 minutes. We apply topical numbing for sensitive patients. Most describe it as more tolerable than expected, especially given the results. Sensitive areas (around lips, eyes) feel more than the cheeks.

Does PiQo4 hurt?

Recovery is about 1 day. Mild redness and slight swelling for 24 hours. Some patients develop a temporary darker tone where pigment was treated, fading over 5–10 days. Use SPF religiously, gentle cleanser, heavy moisturizer.

What's the recovery from PiQo4?

PiQo4 Laser Facial is $325 per session. Series of 3–5 sessions priced with package discount. Membership reduces per-session cost.

What does PiQo4 facial cost in Lubbock?

Yes—picosecond technology is significantly safer for darker skin than older laser systems. PiQo4 has been used safely across the Fitzpatrick scale. We adjust settings based on your specific skin type and never use settings inappropriate for your skin. Some skin tones may need a test patch before the first full session.

Is PiQo4 safe for darker skin tones?

Initial improvements (better tone, brighter skin) visible within 1–2 weeks of the first session. Significant pigmentation lifting visible after 2–3 sessions. Full collagen-driven texture improvement appears 3 months after a complete series as your body rebuilds.

When will I see PiQo4 results?

Sun damage and brown spots (highly responsive). Tattoo removal of all colors (highly responsive). Melasma (responsive with the right settings). Fine lines (moderately responsive). Active acne (not the right tool—use Carbon Cleanse). Deep scarring (RF microneedling is better).

What conditions respond best to PiQo4?

Book a complimentary laser consultation. We'll examine the concern you're treating, evaluate your skin type, and determine whether PiQo4 or another modality is the right fit. Wrong-device treatment is the most common cause of disappointing laser results. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
