PicoSure Pro
The PicoSure Pro is an advanced laser treatment system designed for skin rejuvenation, tattoo removal, and pigmentation correction. It uses picosecond laser technology, which delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to target skin concerns with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Here’s what it does:
1. Tattoo Removal
Breaks down ink particles more effectively than traditional nanosecond lasers.
Works on stubborn colors (e.g., blues, greens) that are harder to remove with older lasers.
Requires fewer sessions compared to older technologies.
2. Pigmentation & Sun Spot Removal
Treats melasma, age spots, sun damage, and freckles by shattering pigment particles.
Stimulates collagen production for brighter, more even skin.
3. Acne Scar & Wrinkle Reduction
The FOCUS lens array (an add-on handpiece) helps improve skin texture by stimulating collagen and elastin.
Reduces fine lines, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
4. Skin Rejuvenation
Promotes a more youthful appearance by enhancing skin tone and elasticity.
Minimal downtime compared to ablative lasers.
Key Advantages of PicoSure Pro Over Older Lasers:
✅ Faster results (shorter treatment sessions, fewer visits).
✅ Less discomfort & downtime (gentler on the skin).
✅ Works on multiple skin tones (lower risk of hyperpigmentation).
✅ Versatile (treats tattoos, pigmentation, and skin texture).
How PicoSure Pro Removes Pigmentation:
Ultra-Short Pulses
Unlike traditional lasers (nanosecond lasers), Pico lasers emit energy in extremely short bursts, shattering pigment particles into tiny fragments.
This reduces heat buildup, lowering the risk of burns or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Photoacoustic & Photomechanical Effects
The rapid pulses create shockwaves that break apart melanin (pigment) clusters.
The body’s lymphatic system then naturally flushes out these fragmented pigment particles.
Targeted Melanin Destruction
The laser selectively targets melanin (dark pigment) without harming surrounding skin.
Stimulates Collagen & Skin Renewal
Pico lasers also stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing uneven tone over time.
Types of Pigmentation Treated by Pico Laser:
Sunspots / Age spots (Solar Lentigines)
Melasma (though results vary; maintenance may be needed)
Freckles
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Tattoo Pigments (Pico is also used for tattoo removal)
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Light pigmentation: 1–3 sessions
Deeper pigmentation (melasma): 3–6+ sessions (may require combination therapy)
