Pico laser — what to ask.
Cosmetic lasers are beams of light set to particular wavelengths that heat the skin at a chosen depth. A pico laser delivers pulses lasting picoseconds (trillionths of a second); clinics use these devices for tattoo removal and pigmentation, among other uses.

- 04
Could you send me the price before I book, including any consultation fee?
- 05
What does the first consultation involve, and is there a fee?
