- Recent sun exposure or tanned skin
- Light-stimulated diseases (e.g., epilepsy)
- Use of photosensitive drugs (e.g., Roacutane)

To maintain ongoing results, it is crucial to protect your skin from direct sun exposure. Cover up and apply a high-quality SPF sunblock whenever you are outdoors.
Understanding Potential Side Effects of Pico Laser Treatment
At Lexinic, we understand that safety and transparency are paramount when considering any cosmetic treatment. While Pico laser treatment is known for its remarkable results, it’s essential to be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects may include temporary redness, mild swelling, and slight discomfort, which usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Occasionally, patients may experience temporary darkening or lightening of the treated area, but this typically resolves over time. It’s important to note that serious complications are rare, and our experienced practitioners take every precaution to minimize any risks. We always conduct a thorough consultation and discuss potential side effects with each patient to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

PICO Laser Pigment Treatment
Clear Away Pigmentation for Youthful Skin
At our laser & cosmetic clinic in Newmarket, Auckland, we offer advancedPICO Laser Pigment Treatment to help you achieve a smooth and youthful complexion. Melanin, the pigment responsible for your skin’s color, can sometimes become erratic, resulting in darker or lighter patches known as pigmentation or age spots.

Benefits of PICO Laser Pigment Treatment:
- Comprehensive treatment for all types of benign pigmented lesions

How PICO Laser Pigment Treatment Works?
Our Picocare 450 system delivers powerful and ultra-precise picosecond pulses to target and break down the darkened areas of pigmentation, minimizing the risk of harm to your skin and surrounding tissues.
Step 1: Precise Pigment Targeting Using our advanced HEXA MLA laser, we target the pigmentation in your skin, shattering the pigment into minute particles.
Step 2: Natural Elimination of Pigment Your body’s natural processes then eliminate the shattered pigment particles, gradually fading and eliminating the surface discoloration over time. The number of required treatments will depend on the nature of your pigmentation.
Step 3: Reveal Younger-Looking Skin As the pigmentation is removed, you’ll enjoy an even skin tone and a more youthful appearance. Additionally, our Picocare laser treatment helps smooth superficial lines and wrinkles, rejuvenating your skin.
Expected Results and Treatment Duration
After the treatment, you may initially experience some temporary darkening of the treated areas, which will fade within 5-7 days. With each subsequent treatment, the pigmentation will continue to lighten. On average, 3-5 treatments are recommended to achieve significant pigment reduction, although this may vary depending on your skin and the specific pigmentation issue.
Suitability for Different Skin Types
The Picocare system is suitable for both light and dark skin types, ensuring effective treatment for a wide range of individuals. In addition to addressing pigmentation concerns, Picocare offers excellent all-round skin rejuvenation benefits.
Treatment Comfort
During the treatment, you may feel a light warmth in the treated area and experience a slight sting similar to a snapped rubber band against your skin. However, this discomfort is minimal and well-tolerated by our patients. Compared to other laser treatments, our Picocare 450’s picosecond treatment is significantly more tolerable.

Multi-colour Tattoo Removal
Safe and Precise Laser Solutions
Traditional tattoo removal methods can be harsh, painful, and potentially leave scars. Surgical excision, dermabrasion, and chemical peels are invasive options. However, laser treatments offer a safer and more precise solution, targeting only the tattoo ink. Among laser treatments, the Picosecond Laser is the most precise, and our Picocare 450 stands as one of the most powerful pico lasers available for effective tattoo removal.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments required depends on various factors such as the size, location, depth, and colours used in your tattoo. Professional tattoo inks and light colours may require additional sessions for complete removal. Our experienced professionals will assess your tattoo and provide a personalized treatment plan.
Comfort during Treatment
Unlike other tattoo removal lasers, Picocare 450 offers a more comfortable experience. The sensation is often described as a snap of a rubber band on the skin. If desired, a topical anaesthetic can be used to enhance comfort. The duration of each session typically ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and colour composition of your tattoo.
Post-Treatment Effects
Immediately after the treatment, you may notice some whitening of the skin, reddishness in the surrounding area, and mild swelling. These effects are normal and will gradually fade over time. The full effect of each treatment will be visible within 5-6 weeks. To minimize the risk of infection, we apply antibacterial ointment and dressings to the treated area.
2nd Generation PICO Laser for Fast, Effective Tattoo Removal
Our advanced multi-wavelength treatment utilizes the power of the Picocare 450 laser, enabling the removal of a full range of colour tattoos, including challenging greens and blues.

Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition caused by clogged and infected pores. Excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria can lead to red, swollen pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and even pus-filled abscesses. Factors such as excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, stress, and hormonal fluctuations contribute to acne.
Causes of Acne Scars
Severe acne can damage the surface and deeper layers of your skin. If the natural healing process is unable to repair the damage completely, it can result in permanent scar tissue formation.
Introducing Picocare
Picocare is a leading treatment option for acne scars. This laser treatment utilizes ultra-short pulses of laser light to penetrate deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, targeting the support structure. Through the body’s natural healing process, old and damaged tissue is eliminated, and new collagen and elastin, essential components for healthy-looking skin, are generated. The procedure is fast, simple, and well-tolerated, with minimal downtime.
Pico Laser Acne Scars treatment
Surgical/Traumatic Scars
Whether you’re dealing with scars from surgical procedures or injuries, our Pico laser treatment offers an advanced solution. By utilizing ultra-short pulses of laser light, the Picocare laser penetrates deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, targeting the scar tissue’s support structure. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, eliminating old and damaged tissue while promoting the generation of new collagen and elastin.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for this Treatment?
Pico laser scar treatment is effective for various skin types, including both lighter and darker skin tones. To determine your eligibility, we recommend booking a Free Consultation with our experts.
Number of Picocare Treatments
The number of treatments required depends on the size, type and location of your scars, your skin type, and individual factors. Typically, a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Following your initial consultation, our experienced aestheticians will create a personalized treatment plan to optimize your results.
Treatment Experience
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is generally well-tolerated. You may experience a snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against your skin. Most clients find the procedure comfortable and do not require numbing cream or anesthesia. After the treatment, some redness or discoloration may occur, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours.
Aftercare
Following the treatment, it is important to protect your skin and minimize downtime. You may be advised to avoid direct sun exposure and follow specific skincare recommendations provided by our experts.

Treat MELASMA Don’t Tolerate It!
Say Goodbye to Dark Patches
Melasma, characterized by disfiguring patches of pigmentation on the face, can be caused by sun exposure, genetic disposition, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or birth control pills. These dark patches and uneven skin tones can age your appearance. At our clinic, we offer Picocare 450 laser toning, a lightning-fast treatment that targets and eliminates excess pigmentation, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin.
Understanding Melasma
Melasma refers to the appearance of darker patches of pigmentation on the face, caused by excess melanin production and the formation of concentrated deposits. Factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and hormonal changes contribute to its development.
Introducing Picocare 450 Laser Melasma treatment
Our Picocare 450 laser Melasma treatment is designed specifically to reduce pigmented patches and improve skin texture. It is a two-stage process that breaks up areas of darker color and uneven skin tones, while also working to enhance skin texture, reduce pore size, and minimize fine wrinkles.
Step 1 – Skin Preparation
Prior to treatment, your therapist will cleanse your skin thoroughly. The laser emits short nanosecond pulses of intense light, which are absorbed by the dark pigment without harming the top layers of the skin.
Pico Laser Melasma treatment
Step 2 – Pigment Shattering
The powerful laser beam of Picocare 450 shatters the pigment into infinitesimally small particles, enabling efficient removal by your body’s immune system.
Step 3 – Gradual Improvement
Through several treatment sessions, you will notice a gradual fading of the darker pigmentation, as your skin regains a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful appearance.
Treatment Experience
Laser Melasma treatments are generally comfortable, with only mild discomfort involved. You may experience a slight prickling sensation as the skin tissue is heated. The therapist will carefully move the handpiece over the treatment area, repeating the process in multiple passes.
Results and Long-Term Success
Melasma treatment is a gradual process that requires multiple sessions for optimal effectiveness. With each treatment, you will witness a noticeable improvement in skin tone. However, the long-term success of laser toning and melasma treatments depends on several factors. To achieve the best results and maintain them over time, it is crucial to protect your skin from sun damage. Apply a high-quality sunscreen at all times and wear protective clothing during peak sun hours.

Pico Laser PIH Treatment
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
At LEXINIC Clinic, we are proud to offer advanced Pico laser PIH treatment to address pigmentation issues and provide you with clearer, more radiant skin. Our highly skilled team utilizes state-of-the-art Pico laser technology to target and reduce the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) effectively.
What is Pico Laser PIH Treatment?
Pico laser PIH treatment is a cutting-edge procedure designed to treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which occurs as a result of inflammation or injury to the skin. PIH can be caused by various factors such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, or even aggressive cosmetic treatments. It manifests as darkened patches or spots on the skin, often persisting long after the initial injury or inflammation has healed. Please see here for more information.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Pico laser technology uses ultra-short laser pulses to target and break down pigment cells responsible for the darkened areas. This treatment approach is highly precise, delivering energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), allowing for better pigment fragmentation and more efficient clearance. As a result, the skin’s natural healing process is stimulated, promoting the gradual fading of PIH and revealing a more even-toned complexion.
Benefits of Pico Laser PIH Treatment
- Effective PIH Reduction: Pico laser treatment specifically targets pigmented areas, effectively reducing the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Enhanced Precision: The ultra-short pulses of Pico laser technology enable precise targeting of pigmented cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin.
- Minimal Discomfort: Pico laser treatment is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort experienced during the procedure is minimal. Our team prioritizes your comfort and can apply a topical anesthetic if needed.
- Quick and Convenient: Pico laser PIH treatment sessions are typically quick, with minimal downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately following the procedure.
- Safe for Various Skin Types: Pico laser technology is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it minimizes the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes or side effects.
What to Expect During Pico Laser PIH Treatment?
During your Pico laser PIH treatment session at LEXINIC Clinic, our experienced professionals will guide you through the process, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: We will begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
- Preparation: Before the treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser light.
- Pico Laser Treatment: The Pico laser handpiece will be gently applied to the target areas, delivering rapid bursts of laser energy. You may feel slight tingling or warmth during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the session, we will provide you with post-treatment instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results. These may include skincare recommendations and sun protection measures.

Anti-Fungal Treatment
Effective Laser Therapy for Healthy and Clear Nails
Nail fungus (Onychomycosis) is a fungal infection affecting the nail and nail bed. This type of fungal infection is different from athlete’s foot or skin fungus in which the fungus infects the skin on the feet, especially between the toes. About half of the nail disorders and nail abnormalities occur as a result of a fungal infection. Nail infections are usually very persistent and the treatment is complicated.
Do I have nail fungus?
Signs that you may have an infected toenail include:
- No shine to a nail or nails
- The shape of a nail has become distorted
- A nail is crumbly at the edge
- Unusual thickness to a nail
- Darkened color
- Unpleasant odour
Toenail Fungus signs include a thickened nail plate or nail bed, yellow discoloration of the nails, foot pain and bad foot odour caused by the fungal debris under the nail. The nails often become thick and fragile and can detach from the nail bed or the skin under the nail.
Nail fungus usually starts at the distal end of the fingernail or toenail. The infection then spreads to the proximal end of the nail towards the nail bed. Finally, the fungal infection spreads to other toenails, but rarely infects all of them.
Embarrassing nail fungus can be effectively treated with laser without the dangerous side effects of oral medication.
How soon will I be able to see improvement after treatment?
The reality is, you may not see results right away and laser treatments will not change your existing nails. As the new nail grows in, it shows signs of clearing from the bottom of the nail as it grows. This usually takes 6-12 months depending on how fast your individual nails grow.
Laser treatment versus drug treatment?
Oral anti-fungal medications are toxic, and may cause serious medical complications. As a result, clients that are taking these medications are asked to go through routine blood tests to make sure their liver is not damaged during the treatment. A laser treatment is completely drug free and there are no known adverse reactions or side effects from use of lasers to treat a toenail fungus infection. However, you may see even better results if you add a topical antifungal cream to your laser treatment.
How many sessions will be needed?
Depending on the severity of your fungal infection, you may require up to three laser treatments for nail fungus removal. The second treatment is performed one to two months after the first, and the next treatment is performed one to two months later. Our technicians will assess the severity of your fungal infection during your consultation and provide you with the best treatment options based on your individual needs.
Does the treatment require special preparation?
Your nails must be free of any nail polish or coatings. Trim nails and clean as well as possible.
Is the treatment painful?
No. The treatment will not cause any pain at the nail area but you may experience slight pain at the surrounding skin area. You will feel the area under the nail heat up but not to an uncomfortable degree.
What are the possible side effects of laser nail fungus therapy?
A mild warming sensation after treatment is common. Possible side effects may include redness of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, slight swelling of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, discoloration or burn marks may occur on the nail. In very rare cases, blistering of the treated skin around the nail and scarring of the treated skin around the nail may occur.
What to expect after your Nail Fungus Laser Treatment?
To help prevent re-infection:
- Wear clean shoes/socks home after treatment
- Wash sheets, disinfect shower/bath and vacuum carpets on the day of treatment.
- Apply anti-fungal cream 2X per day for approximately 2 weeks to 3+ months depending severity of the infection.
- Apply anti-fungal powder to all shoes at least 1x per week for at least 1+ month
- Keep nails trimmed and cleaned (disinfecting instruments after each use)
- Do not walk barefoot in public places (pool, gym, etc.)
- Nail polish may be applied 24 hours after treatment
- Number of treatments will depend on severity of the Onychomycosis / Toenail Fungus
- The average time interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks
- Due to slow nail growth, results may not be noticeable for 3+ months
- Toenails may take 9-12+ months and fingernails may take 6-9+ months to grow out
- Severely infected nails may take longer
- Cold gel packs or cool compresses may be applied post-treatment on hot spots.
