PICOCARE 450 is the flagship Picosecond Nd:YAG laser system developed by WonTech, South Korea. Compared to traditional nanosecond Q-switched lasers, PICOCARE operates with ultra-short picosecond pulse durations and high peak power. This generates a powerful Photomechanical Effect rather than purely thermal energy, shattering stubborn pigment particles into ultra-fine dust-like particles for rapid clearance by the body's lymphatic system. At DR WEE CLINIC, operated by experienced credentialed medical doctors, PICOCARE 450 combines four distinct wavelengths (1064nm, 532nm, 595nm, and 660nm) with the exclusive HEXA-MLA (Micro Lens Array) Fractional Handpiece to safely and effectively eliminate epidermal and dermal pigmentation, depressed acne scars, enlarged pores, and multi-colored tattoos—with significantly lower risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

PICOCARE 450 Korean Pico Laser & HEXA-MLA Lens
1064nm / 532nm / 595nm / 660nm Quad Wavelengths · LIOB Cavitation Rejuvenation · Pigment, Acne Scar & Tattoo Removal
Mechanism of Action: Photomechanical Shattering + HEXA-MLA Induced LIOB Collagen Remodeling
The core clinical superiority of PICOCARE 450 relies on precise optical delivery: 1. Photomechanical Shattering: Ultra-short pulse durations fragment epidermal and dermal melanin into microscopic dust without surrounding thermal damage; 2. HEXA-MLA Lens (LIOB Effect): The micro lens array focuses laser energy up to 15 times, inducing Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) in the dermis. This creates localized micro-cavities beneath an intact epidermis, triggering a burst of Type I and Type III collagen and elastin regeneration to fill depressed acne scars and refine coarse skin texture with minimal downtime.
Skin Concerns: What Stubborn Pigment, Scarring & Texture Issues Benefit Most From PICOCARE 450?
Stubborn Epidermal & Dermal Pigmentation
Deep-seated or resistant melasma, freckles, sunspots, age spots, Nevus of Ota, and Hori's nevus (ABNOM).
Depressed Acne Scars & Coarse Texture Pores
Post-acne ice-pick, rolling, and boxcar scars, dermal tissue depression, and enlarged, dehydrated pores.
Multi-Colored Tattoos & Resistant Hyperpigmentation
Stubborn black, blue, red, green, and yellow tattoos, as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) resistant to conventional lasers.
Fear of Thermal Burns, PIH Rebound & Long Downtime
Patients who wish to avoid ablative lasers (e.g., CO2) due to prolonged scabbing, severe redness, or high risk of post-laser darkening.
Candidate Mapping: Who Is Ideal For PICOCARE 450 Pico Laser Therapy?
Patients Addressing Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone
Individuals seeking to clear superficial or deep dermal melanin for a brighter, clearer, and more even skin tone.
Patients Treating Acne Scars with Minimal Downtime
Those wanting to level depressed acne scars and refine skin graininess without the long crusting period of ablative lasers.
Individuals Seeking Multi-Colored Tattoo Removal
Patients seeking high-clearance, efficient tattoo removal across various ink colors without scarring.
Quality-Focused Patients Across Malaysia
Residents in Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, or Penang seeking authentic Korean picosecond technology at credentialed medical clinics.
💡 Essential Clinical Facts (Timeline, Downtime & Safety Profile)
How soon can I expect results from PICOCARE 450, and how long do they last?
Results are progressive and cumulative: for pigment clearance, shattered melanin clears via cellular metabolism within 1 to 2 weeks, brightening dark spots; under HEXA Fractional mode, LIOB-induced collagen remodeling becomes visible over 2 to 4 weeks as pores refine and acne scars level out. Following a standard protocol (3–5 sessions for pigment, 3–6 sessions for scars spaced 4 weeks apart), results are stable and long-lasting with proper sun protection.
What is the downtime after a PICOCARE 450 session? Will there be scabbing?
Downtime is minimal. Toning modes cause mild flushing for just a few hours; HEXA Fractional mode creates temporary mild pinpoint redness or tiny petechiae that resolve in 24 to 72 hours without thick, dark scabbing. Patients can resume work and normal social routines the next day with gentle hydrating skincare and sun protection.
How does PICOCARE 450 differ from traditional Q-switched lasers? Is there a risk of PIH?
The primary difference lies in pulse duration and energy mechanics. Traditional lasers rely on photothermal heat to cook pigments, which carries a higher risk of thermal injury and PIH rebound. PICOCARE 450 operates in picoseconds, using photomechanical shockwaves to shatter pigment mechanically with minimal heat retention. This dramatically lowers the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making it significantly safer for darker Asian skin tones.
