At Dr Joney De Souza in Marylebone, patients often ask about pico laser cost before they book. It is a fair question. Prices for PicoSure laser treatment in London vary widely, and the figure you see advertised rarely tells the full story. The honest answer depends on what you want to treat, how large the area is, and how many sessions your skin needs. This guide explains the factors that move the price, so you arrive at your consultation with clear expectations.
At Dr Joney De Souza, we use both PicoSure treatment heads. That includes the Focus lens, which targets skin rejuvenation, not only the head that treats pigmentation. Many clinics use the pigmentation head alone, because the Focus tip carries an extra cost to the clinic. We also include around 30 minutes of numbing and a full 45-minute treatment, rather than a rushed 15-minute session with no numbing. In practice, that means a more thorough and more comfortable treatment.
PicoSure is a device, not a fixed package. It delivers ultra-short laser pulses that target pigment and stimulate collagen. Because clinicians use it for several different goals, one quoted price cannot cover every case. A small spot of pigment behaves very differently from full-face rejuvenation. For that reason, our team prices each plan around the individual rather than a generic menu.
What you are treating is the first big factor. Pigmentation, sun damage, tattoo removal, and skin rejuvenation each call for different settings and session counts. Someone tackling stubborn pigmentation may need a focused course, while a patient seeking overall radiance might choose a lighter rejuvenation plan. Tattoo removal usually sits at the higher end, because ink takes many passes to clear. Your concern shapes the protocol, and the protocol shapes the price.
Area matters too. A single age spot takes seconds and uses little energy. A full face, neck, or both hands covers far more skin and naturally costs more per session. Many patients combine zones, such as the face and décolletage, and clinics often price these as a sensible bundle. Larger or combined areas raise the per-visit figure, yet they can be efficient if you treat related zones together.
PicoSure rarely works in one visit. Most skin concerns respond best to a planned course, spaced a few weeks apart, so the skin can recover and renew between treatments. Pigmentation and rejuvenation often need several sessions, and tattoo removal can need more again. When you weigh up pico laser cost, look at the full course rather than a single price. A clinic that quotes only one session may understate what your result actually requires.
Because results may vary from person to person, your clinician will estimate a range at consultation rather than promise an exact number upfront.
Many clinics, including ours, group PicoSure into broad pathways. A pigmentation package focuses on lifting brown patches, melasma-type concerns, and sun spots. A rejuvenation package, sometimes called the Focus treatment, works more on texture, fine lines, and overall glow. These pathways differ in settings, session count, and therefore price. Some patients also move between them over time, starting with pigment correction and later choosing maintenance rejuvenation. Your consultation clarifies which route fits your skin and your goals.
A transparent quote should cover the consultation, a patch test where relevant, the sessions themselves, and aftercare guidance. Always check whether a price is per session or for a full course. Ask too about follow-up reviews. Clear, itemised pricing helps you compare like for like and avoids surprises later.
Only a face-to-face assessment can confirm what your skin needs. During your visit, the clinician examines your concern under good light, reviews your medical history, and discusses your goals. They then map out a plan and give you a realistic cost for that plan. PicoSure is not suitable for everyone. It is generally avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and certain skin conditions, medications, or recent sun exposure may affect timing. A consultation confirms suitability and protects your safety.
You can expect little to no downtime after most PicoSure sessions, though mild redness is common for a short while. Following the aftercare advice carefully helps your skin settle and supports your long-term results.

Common questions our Marylebone team hears.
There is no single fixed price, because the cost depends on the concern treated, the size of the area, and the number of sessions. At Dr Joney De Souza, your clinician gives a personalised quote at consultation. Results and plans may vary from person to person.
Prices vary because PicoSure treats different concerns at different settings, from small pigment spots to full-face rejuvenation. Session counts and area size also differ. Always check whether a quote covers one session or a full course.
Most concerns respond best to a planned course spaced a few weeks apart. Pigmentation and rejuvenation often need several sessions, while tattoo removal can need more. Your clinician estimates a range after assessing your skin.
It can be either, so it is important to ask. Many clinics offer both single-session and course pricing. A clear quote should state exactly what is included, including the consultation and aftercare.
Yes. A single small spot uses little time and energy, while a full face, neck, or hands covers far more skin. Combined zones are often priced as a sensible bundle, which can be efficient.
