Pico laser price in Singapore: what shapes the cost, and how to compare quotes
Pico laser is one of the most searched treatments in Singapore, and quoted prices vary widely. The number on a quote means little until you know what is being treated, how many sessions it needs and who performs it. This guide explains the factors, so you can compare like with like.

Quick answer
- The cost of pico laser depends mostly on what is being treated: defined sun spots and freckles often need fewer sessions, melasma needs gentle settings over several sessions alongside prescription creams, and tattoos need repeated sessions that depend on ink colour and depth.
- The size of the area, the number of sessions, the device and protocol, and whether a doctor performs the treatment also shape the total. A single-session price can be misleading if the plan needs a course.
- At SkinRev Lab and IN Eternity Clinic, pico laser is performed by Dr Sin Yong after he has identified the pigment, and it is priced at consultation.
The main factor
What is being treated decides most of the cost
Pico laser works by breaking pigment or tattoo ink into fine particles the body clears, and different targets respond very differently. Defined sun spots and freckles in the upper skin often lighten in a small number of sessions, although new spots appear with sun. Dark marks after acne may need a few gentle sessions once the breakouts are controlled.
Melasma is different. It is easily stimulated, and aggressive laser can make it darker or bring it back faster. When pico is used for melasma at all, it is at low energy over several sessions, alongside sun protection and prescription creams, so the plan is longer and the laser is only one part of it.
Tattoos usually need the most sessions. The number depends on the ink colours, how dense and deep the ink is, how old the tattoo is and where it sits. A systematic review found that picosecond lasers have the strongest evidence for tattoo removal, but fading is still gradual.
Other factors
Area, sessions, device and who performs it
Because these factors vary so much from person to person, a fair quote can only be given after the skin has been examined. That is why medical laser treatment at SkinRev Lab is priced at consultation rather than from a list.
- Area: a few spots on the cheeks take less time than a full face, the backs of the hands or a large tattoo.
- Number of sessions: most plans are a series spaced a few weeks apart, so the total matters more than the price of one visit.
- Device and protocol: picosecond lasers differ in wavelengths and handpieces, and some plans combine pico with other lasers or treatments.
- Combination treatment: melasma and post-acne marks often need prescription creams, and sometimes oral treatment, alongside laser.
- Who performs it and what is included: a doctor's assessment, the diagnosis of the pigment, numbing, aftercare and review visits all affect the total.
Comparing quotes
How to compare pico laser prices fairly
When you compare clinics, compare plans rather than single sessions. Ask what the pigment has been diagnosed as, how many sessions are expected, how far apart they will be, and what happens if the result plateaus. Ask who performs the treatment and which device and wavelength will be used for your skin.
Be cautious about low per-session prices for 'pigmentation' that do not distinguish melasma from sun spots. Treating melasma like sun spots can leave it darker, and correcting that costs more in time and money than a careful plan from the start.
Also count the costs that are not on the quote: sunscreen and any prescription creams, and the time needed if the skin is red for a day or two.
Safety
Why the cheapest plan is not always the least expensive
Pigment changes are the main risk of laser in Asian skin. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dark marks that appear after the skin is irritated, can follow any laser, and melasma can rebound after aggressive treatment. DermNet notes that several laser types, including picosecond lasers, carry a high risk of relapse in melasma and need expert use.
A plan that starts with the right diagnosis, uses appropriate settings and includes sun protection usually reaches a stable result with fewer surprises. That is worth more than a lower price per session.

Common questions
Your questions,
answered
How much does pico laser cost in Singapore?
It depends on what is treated, the area, the number of sessions, the device and who performs it. At SkinRev Lab and IN Eternity Clinic, pico laser is performed by Dr Sin Yong and priced at consultation after the pigment has been identified.
Why is there no fixed price for pico laser?
Because sun spots, melasma and tattoos need very different plans. A fair price depends on the diagnosis and the number of sessions, which can only be judged after an examination.
How many pico laser sessions will I need?
It varies. Defined sun spots may need few sessions, melasma needs several gentle sessions with prescription creams, and tattoos often need many. Dr Sin Yong estimates this at consultation.
Is a cheaper pico laser package worth it?
Only if the plan is right for your pigment. A package that treats melasma like sun spots can make it worse, which costs more to correct.
Does pico laser need downtime?
Usually little: mild redness for hours to a day or two. Sun protection afterwards matters.
Who performs pico laser at SkinRev Lab?
Dr Sin Yong performs pico laser at SkinRev Lab or IN Eternity Clinic, and it is priced at consultation.
