Pico Laser in Tijuana
Clear stubborn pigment, remove unwanted tattoos, and rejuvenate your skin with the gold standard in picosecond laser technology.
What is a Pico Laser?
Picosecond lasers represent a quantum leap beyond older Q-switched systems. By delivering energy in pulses measured in trillionths of a second (10⁻¹² seconds), Pico devices create a powerful photoacoustic effect that shatters pigment particles into microscopic dust, allowing the immune system to clear them more efficiently and with fewer treatments than ever before. The ultra-short pulse also means less heat is deposited into the skin, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and making the device safe for darker Fitzpatrick types.
At Vive Med Spa in Tijuana, we use the industry-leading Cynosure PicoSure and Quanta Discovery Pico, both FDA-cleared and COFEPRIS-registered. Beyond tattoo removal, these systems address melasma, sun damage, freckles, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, fine lines, pores, and overall skin quality. Our board-certified physicians analyze your skin with dermoscopy and diagnostic imaging to choose the optimal wavelength (532 nm, 730 nm, 755 nm, or 1064 nm) and protocol.

Benefits of Pico Laser Treatments
Ultra-Short Pulses
Picosecond pulse durations shatter pigment and stimulate collagen with minimal heat, providing safer and more comfortable treatment than older nanosecond Q-switched lasers.
Treats a Wide Range of Concerns
PicoSure and Discovery Pico excel at tattoo removal, pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation in a single device family.
FDA, CE, and COFEPRIS Cleared
Every pico laser system at Vive Med Spa is FDA-cleared, CE-marked, and COFEPRIS-registered, meeting the highest international safety and efficacy standards.
Safe for All Skin Types
Thanks to ultra-short pulses, Pico lasers are among the safest options for darker Fitzpatrick types, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Quick 15-30 Minute Sessions
Most Pico laser sessions last just 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to schedule treatments around work, family, and travel from San Diego or across Baja California.
Minimal Social Downtime
Pico laser recovery is brief. Most patients return to work, exercise, and social activities the very next day with only mild pinkness that fades within 24 to 48 hours.
