A spot-eliminating laser for all skin tones

Created by an Italian research company that specialises in lasers, Discovery Pico is a secondgeneration picosecond laser (a picosecond is one millionth of one millionth of a second). Its ultra-short pulses of heat energy break down dark spots into fragments which are easily eliminated from the body. It can switch between two modes: one for tattoo removal and one to even out skin tone. The heat energy also boosts collagen production and diminishes the look of wrinkles. Your skin may be reddened for a few hours after treatment. And if you concentrate on specic dark spots, the targeted area may crust over. A minimum of four sessions, four to six weeks apart, are recommended.

Available at Prive Clinic, #03-03 Palais Renaissance (tel: 6737-6639); $535 for a full-face session.
