Advanced Tattoo Removal, Pigmentation Correction & Skin Rejuvenation

Healthy, radiant skin begins with the right technology. At CURA SKIN, we are proud to offer the MEDIKYAG™ Pico Laser System, one of today's most advanced laser platforms for treating pigmentation, tattoo ink, uneven skin tone, acne marks, and overall skin rejuvenation. Combining ultra-short picosecond pulse technology with multiple treatment wavelengths, the MEDIKYAG delivers highly precise energy while minimizing heat damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in effective treatments with little downtime.

Whether you are looking to remove an unwanted tattoo, brighten sun-damaged skin, reduce stubborn melasma, or restore a smoother complexion, the MEDIKYAG provides a safe, versatile, and clinically advanced solution suitable for many different skin types.

What Is the MEDIKYAG™ Pico Laser?

The MEDIKYAG™ Pico Laser is an advanced Picosecond Nd:YAG laser system that uses incredibly short bursts of laser energy measured in picoseconds—one trillionth of a second.

Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, which rely primarily on heat to destroy pigment, picosecond technology works through a powerful photoacoustic effect. Instead of heating pigment slowly, the laser creates an intense pressure wave that shatters unwanted pigment into microscopic particles. These tiny particles are then naturally removed by the body's lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Because much less heat is generated within the skin, treatments are generally more comfortable while reducing unnecessary injury to surrounding healthy tissue. This allows for faster recovery and improved treatment precision.

How Does Pico Laser Technology Work?

Every colour within the skin absorbs specific wavelengths of light.

The MEDIKYAG laser delivers controlled pulses of laser energy directly into unwanted pigment while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.

Once absorbed, the pigment rapidly expands and fractures into microscopic fragments. The body's immune cells gradually remove these fragments through the lymphatic system, causing pigmentation or tattoo ink to fade over multiple treatments.

At the same time, the controlled laser energy stimulates the skin's natural wound healing response, encouraging:

  • New collagen production

  • Increased elastin formation

  • Improved cellular turnover

  • Healthier skin regeneration

  • Smoother skin texture

  • More even skin tone

This dual action allows the MEDIKYAG to both remove unwanted pigment and rejuvenate the skin.

What Can the MEDIKYAG™ Pico Treat?

One of the greatest advantages of the MEDIKYAG is its versatility. A single laser platform can safely address numerous cosmetic concerns.

Tattoo Removal

The MEDIKYAG is highly effective at removing professional, amateur, cosmetic, and traumatic tattoos.

Different wavelengths selectively target various tattoo colours:

  • Black tattoos

  • Blue tattoos

  • Green tattoos

  • Red tattoos

  • Orange tattoos

  • Brown tattoos

  • Purple tattoos

  • Cosmetic tattoo pigment

  • Eyebrow tattoo removal

  • Lip liner tattoo removal

The laser breaks tattoo ink into microscopic particles that are gradually cleared by the body's immune system, allowing tattoos to fade naturally after each treatment.

Pigmentation Disorders

Excess melanin can develop due to genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or ageing.

The MEDIKYAG effectively treats:

  • Sun spots

  • Age spots

  • Freckles

  • Solar lentigines

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

  • Pigmented lesions

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Birthmarks (selected pigmented lesions)

  • Café-au-lait spots (selected cases)

As unwanted pigment clears, skin appears brighter, healthier, and more even.

Melasma Management

Melasma is one of the most challenging pigment conditions to treat.

Unlike aggressive lasers that create excessive heat, the MEDIKYAG delivers ultra-short pulses that reduce thermal injury while carefully targeting abnormal pigment.

When combined with proper medical skincare, strict sun protection, and individualized treatment protocols, Pico technology can significantly improve melasma while helping reduce the risk of rebound pigmentation.

Skin Rejuvenation

Not every treatment is designed to remove pigment.

The MEDIKYAG also stimulates collagen production to improve overall skin quality.

Benefits include:

  • Brighter complexion

  • Improved skin tone

  • Healthier-looking skin

  • Smoother texture

  • Reduction in fine lines

  • Improved elasticity

  • Dull skin revitalization

  • Early anti-ageing support

  • Pore refinement

Many patients notice healthier, glowing skin even after only a few treatments.

Acne Marks & Acne Scarring

After acne heals, it often leaves behind pigmentation or textural changes.

The MEDIKYAG helps improve:

  • Acne pigmentation

  • Acne marks

  • Mild acne scars

  • Red post-acne discoloration

  • Uneven skin texture

By stimulating collagen while reducing excess pigment, skin gradually becomes smoother and more even.

Vascular & Redness Concerns

Specific treatment settings can help reduce visible redness and superficial vascular concerns, including:

  • Diffuse facial redness

  • Superficial vascular lesions

  • Broken capillaries (selected cases)

  • Post-inflammatory redness

Treatment selection depends on the individual's skin assessment and the nature of the vascular concern.

Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial

One of the most popular MEDIKYAG treatments is the Hollywood Carbon Peel.

A medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin before the laser passes over the treatment area.

The laser vaporizes the carbon while simultaneously:

  • Exfoliating dead skin cells

  • Removing excess oil

  • Deep cleaning pores

  • Improving acne-prone skin

  • Refining enlarged pores

  • Brightening dull complexions

  • Stimulating collagen

  • Leaving skin smoother and more radiant

There is minimal downtime, making it a popular treatment before special events.

Why Picosecond Technology Is Different

Traditional nanosecond lasers primarily rely on heat to destroy pigment.

The MEDIKYAG's picosecond technology instead creates an intense photoacoustic pressure wave that breaks pigment into much smaller fragments with less surrounding heat.

This offers several important advantages:

  • More precise pigment targeting

  • Reduced thermal damage

  • Improved patient comfort

  • Faster healing

  • Better clearance of stubborn pigmentation

  • Enhanced tattoo removal efficiency

  • Safe treatment options for many skin types

  • Improved collagen stimulation

Is the MEDIKYAG Safe?

At CURA SKIN, every treatment begins with a professional consultation and comprehensive skin assessment.

Your practitioner evaluates:

  • Skin type

  • Pigmentation depth

  • Medical history

  • Previous treatments

  • Sun exposure

  • Treatment goals

Personalized treatment settings are selected to maximize results while prioritizing safety.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of sessions depends entirely on your concern.

Generally:

  • Pigmentation often improves over 2–6 sessions.

  • Melasma usually requires ongoing management combined with skincare.

  • Tattoo removal commonly requires multiple sessions depending on ink colour, depth, age, and density.

  • Skin rejuvenation treatments are often performed in a series to build collagen over time.

  • Carbon facials may be repeated regularly for maintenance.

During your consultation, your practitioner will recommend a customized treatment plan tailored to your skin.
