What Is PicoSure Laser?

PicoSure is a picosecond laser system that delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to targeted areas of the skin. The rapid energy delivery can break pigment into smaller particles while limiting prolonged heat exposure to surrounding tissue.

PicoSure may be used for pigmentation correction, skin tone improvement, and selected skin rejuvenation treatments.

What Can PicoSure Treat?

PicoSure may be considered for concerns including:

• Dark spots
• Sun spots
• Freckles
• Uneven skin tone
• Selected pigmentation
• Post-acne pigmentation
• Dull-looking skin
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged-looking pores
• Overall skin rejuvenation

The appropriate treatment protocol depends on the patient's specific skin condition.

PicoSure for Pigmentation & Dark Spots

PicoSure's picosecond pulses are designed to target unwanted pigment efficiently. It may be used to improve the appearance of dark spots, freckles, sun-related pigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

Because pigmentation can occur at different depths, proper evaluation is important before selecting laser settings.

PicoSure for Acne Marks

Brown pigmentation remaining after acne can make the complexion appear uneven even after active acne has improved.

PicoSure may be considered for selected post-inflammatory pigmentation and acne-related discoloration, depending on skin type and the nature of the marks.

PicoSure for Skin Texture & Rejuvenation

Depending on the treatment mode, PicoSure can also be incorporated into programs focused on improving overall skin quality.

Treatment may help support a smoother, brighter, and more even-looking complexion while addressing pigmentation at the same time.

PicoSure vs. Traditional Laser Toning

Traditional laser toning and picosecond laser treatments use different pulse durations and treatment approaches.

PicoSure delivers energy in extremely short picosecond pulses. However, the best laser is not necessarily the newest device—the appropriate technology should be selected according to the patient's pigmentation type, skin condition, and treatment goals.

How Many PicoSure Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions varies according to the concern being treated, pigmentation depth, treatment intensity, and individual response.

Some patients may require a series of treatments, particularly when addressing diffuse pigmentation or overall skin tone.

Is There Downtime After PicoSure?

Downtime varies depending on treatment settings. Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, or mild swelling may occur.

Patients should follow post-treatment instructions carefully and use appropriate sun protection, particularly when undergoing pigmentation treatment.
