Discovery PICO Laser

Target pigment. Heal skin. Elevate clarity.

About Discovery Pico at Shookra

Discovery PICO is one of the most advanced laser systems in the world — delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses to shatter pigment without damaging surrounding tissue. Unlike older Q-switched or nanosecond lasers, Discovery PICO is faster, more precise, and requires fewer sessions with less heat and less downtime.

At Shookra, we use it across a wide spectrum of skin concerns — from deep pigmentation and melasma to vascular lesions, inflammatory acne, and even tattoo removal. Our physicians tailor each setting to your skin tone and depth, ensuring both safety and results.

Did a Hydrafacial at Shookra yesterday with the beauty therapist Boutaina and I’m honestly so impressed. My skin felt super clean, hydrated, and just... fresh. The clinic is gorgeous, the staff were lovely, and everything felt really professional. You can tell they know what they’re doing.



Definitely one of the best facials I’ve had in Dubai — perfect if you're looking for deep cleansing, glow, or just a proper skin reset. Will 100% be back.

Absolutely loved my experience at Aesthetic and Longevity Clinic. The ambience is luxe and calming, the staff warm and welcoming. I went in for the Salmon DNA treatment with Dr. Bushra, who was incredibly gentle and thorough — the procedure was smooth, painless, and so well explained. Can’t wait to see the results!
