Pico laser in Chiang Mai

Pico laser is offered by aesthetic clinics across Chiang Mai. Most treatments in this category are done in a single appointment with no downtime, which makes them straightforward to fit into a trip.

Pricing is usually per session, so the total depends on how much treatment you have rather than on the procedure itself. Results in this category are temporary and need repeating.

Quoted by the clinic

What a starting price means. It is the published figure for the simplest configuration of this procedure — the standard implant, technique or materials. Yours may cost more depending on what you need. Thai hospitals quote a fixed package that states the hospital stay it includes.

About pico laser

Picosecond lasers deliver energy in extremely short pulses, shattering pigment with less heat than older lasers. They are used for pigmentation, tattoo removal and skin texture.

Treatment is a course rather than a single session, and the number depends on what is being treated and how deep it sits.

Techniques and approaches

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.

Pigment treatment
Freckles, sun damage and melasma, using wavelengths matched to the pigment depth.
Fractional (focus lens) treatment
An array that creates micro-zones in the skin for texture, pores and scarring.
Tattoo removal
Multiple sessions, with the number depending on ink colour, depth and age.
Carbon peel
A carbon lotion applied and then targeted, used for oiliness and pore appearance.

The decisions you will make

These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.

Number of sessions

Almost nothing here is a single treatment. Price the course.

Melasma caution

Melasma can worsen with aggressive laser treatment. Ask specifically about the protocol for it.

Sun exposure

Treated skin needs protection, which matters if you are combining this with a beach trip.

What the trip involves

Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.

Before you go
A consultation, in person or by video, to confirm the treatment suits you.
Appointment
Most treatments take under an hour and you can leave straight afterwards.
Immediately after
Some redness, swelling or tenderness is normal. Ask what to expect and what is not normal.
Following days
Avoid heat, sun and strenuous exercise if advised. Keep the aftercare instructions.
Result
Some effects are immediate, others take weeks. Ask when you should judge the outcome.
Repeating it
Effects are temporary. Ask how long before you would need it again, and what that costs.

Ask these before you pay a deposit

Formatted as a numbered list, ready to email a clinic.
  1. Who is treating me, and what are their qualifications?

    A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.

  2. What is included in the price, and what is not?

    Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.

  3. Is the deposit refundable, and under what conditions?

    Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.

  4. What happens if something needs correcting?

    Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.

  5. Who do I contact after I go home, and in what language?

    A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.

Questions

Is the price on this page a quote?

No. It is a starting price. What you pay depends on how much treatment you have.

Is there any downtime?

Usually little or none for this category, but it varies by treatment and by person. Ask the clinic directly.

How long does it last?

Effects are temporary. Ask the clinic for a realistic interval before repeating.

Can I have it on a short trip to Chiang Mai?

Usually yes — most treatments here are single-appointment. Leave a day either side in case of swelling.

Who will actually treat me?

Ask before booking. It is not always the person named on the website.
