Recently in Bangkok, Thailand, a treatment called “Pico Fractional”—which uses the Pico Laser aesthetic medical device—has been gaining attention among people concerned about issues such as “enlarged pores” and “uneven skin texture caused by acne scars.” In this article, we’ll provide an easy-to-understand explanation of everything from the basics of Pico Fractional to the unique features of the treatment at Vivi Clinic and frequently asked questions.
[Pico Laser] What Is the Pico Fractional Treatment Everyone’s Talking About in Bangkok? We Explain How It Differs from Spot Removal
Among the various treatments that use pico lasers, we’ll start by explaining the basics of pico fractional laser treatment, which is currently gaining attention at beauty clinics in Bangkok.
What Is Pico-Fractional?
Pico-fractional is one of the treatment modes of a pico-laser, a cosmetic medical device that emits laser energy in an extremely short duration—a picosecond (one trillionth of a second). Pico-fractional is a treatment well-suited for those seeking to improve their skin texture.
Pico-fractional treatment has the following characteristics:
＜仕組み＞
By delivering laser energy in a dot-like pattern to provide subtle stimulation to the skin, this treatment supports skin regeneration.
This mechanism works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—which are essential for skin elasticity—during the wound healing process, as the body works to repair the damage.
＜肌ダメージの程度＞
A major feature of this treatment is that it causes less heat-related damage than conventional fractional lasers. As a result, it effectively supports skin renewal while minimizing pain and downtime.
Skin Concerns That Can Be Addressed with Pico-Fractional Treatment, Along with Its Benefits and Downtime
Pico Fractional addresses a variety of skin concerns by improving the skin from the foundation up.
＜アプローチできる悩み＞
- Enlarged Pores and Blackheads
- Acne Scars and Pitted Skin
- Fine lines caused by dryness
- Lack of firmness and radiance in the skin
- Melasma and Dullness (*Depending on your skin condition, we may recommend combining this treatment with other modes, such as Pico Toning.)
＜メリット＞
- Well-suited to Japanese skin types
- Aims to improve skin texture and address signs of aging at the same time
- It puts less strain on the skin than conventional fractional lasers and has a shorter downtime.
- You can start wearing makeup again relatively soon
＜ダウンタイム＞
Mild redness, flushing, and itching may occur, but most people tend to notice that their skin has calmed down by the 3rd to 7th day after the Pico Fractional treatment.
Differences from PicoSpot and PicoToning
The pico laser has three modes, including pico-fractional.
＜ピコスポット＞
A high-powered laser that precisely targets age spots and freckles
＜ピコトーニング＞
A low-power laser is applied to the entire area to address dullness, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
＜ピコフラクショナル＞
It creates microscopic holes in the skin to target pores and acne scars, improving skin texture.
It is important to understand the differences between each mode and choose a treatment that suits your skin condition and goals. At Vivi Clinic, in addition to Pico Fractional, we can also recommend Pico Spot and Pico Toning treatments. Please ask your doctor for more details.

[FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions About Bibi Clinic's Pico Fractional Treatment
Finally, here is a summary of answers to frequently asked questions about Pico Fractional treatment received by Bibi Clinic. Please feel free to use this information when making an appointment or before your consultation.
Q. Does Pico Fractional treatment hurt?
A. During the procedure, you may feel a sensation similar to being snapped by a rubber band. Since heat damage is minimal, pain is relatively mild; however, for those who are sensitive to pain or feel anxious, we apply an anesthetic cream before beginning the procedure.
Q. How long is the downtime for Pico Fractional?
A. Mild redness or a sensation of heat may occur, but for most people, these symptoms subside within 3 to 7 days after the treatment. If PicoSpot is used in combination, redness, mild swelling, blisters, or breakouts may occur for a few days, and dark spots in the treated area may temporarily become darker. In any case, thorough moisturizing and UV protection are essential for aftercare.
Q. What is the typical treatment time and number of sessions for Pico Fractional?
A. The treatment takes about 40 to 60 minutes, including the consultation. While some people notice a difference in their skin after just one session, depending on your skin condition, continuing with about 3 to 10 sessions at a rate of once a month will help you achieve your ideal skin. Please ask your doctor for more details.
Q. How much does Pico Fractional cost?
A. Our pricing is based on market rates in Bangkok, Thailand. At Vivi Clinic, in addition to our single-session plan for your convenience, we also offer 5-session and 10-session packages for those who wish to undergo ongoing treatments. Please refer to our price list for details.

Q. Can I wear makeup on the day of my Pico Fractional treatment?
A. Generally, you may apply makeup starting on the day of the procedure. However, since your skin is very sensitive immediately after the procedure, your doctor will advise you individually on when it is safe to resume wearing makeup.
Q. Can men also undergo pico-fractional treatment?
A. Of course. At our clinic, we’re seeing an increasing number of men—especially those who prioritize a clean, fresh appearance—seeking consultations about Pico Fractional treatment. Men who are concerned about skin issues such as enlarged pores or acne scars are also encouraged to contact us for a consultation.
Q. Can travelers who don't live in Thailand or Bangkok still receive Pico Fractional treatment?
A. Yes, we offer counseling and treatments for short-term visitors. To ensure we can reserve a time slot for your counseling or treatment, we ask that you make an appointment in advance. Please contact us via our clinic’s official LINE account for reservations or to discuss treatment options.
