Picosure Laser

What is the PicoSure Laser?

The PicoSure laser is a type of laser treatment that uses picosecond technology to deliver short bursts of energy to the skin. Unlike traditional lasers, which deliver energy in nanoseconds, PicoSure’s picosecond pulse is incredibly fast, which allows it to treat a variety of skin concerns with more precision and less damage to surrounding tissue.

How Does It Work?

PicoSure uses pulses of light that are measured in trillionths of a second (picoseconds), which is significantly faster than other lasers. The laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the skin or in tattoos, causing the pigment to break into smaller particles. This allows the body to naturally absorb and eliminate the pigment more effectively. The precision of the laser also stimulates collagen production, improving the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Benefits of PicoSure Laser

Tattoo Removal
  • PicoSure is particularly effective for tattoo removal, especially on stubborn colors. Its picosecond pulse targets the ink more efficiently, breaking it down faster and with fewer treatments compared to traditional lasers.
Skin Rejuvenation
  • The laser helps reduce the appearance of sunspots, freckles, and age spots by targeting the pigment in the skin. It stimulates collagen production, which can improve the skin’s tone and texture, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Acne Scarring
  • PicoSure is effective in treating acne scars by stimulating collagen and promoting skin regeneration. It can help smooth out the texture of the skin, making scars less noticeable over time.
Pigmentation Treatment
  • The laser helps treat hyperpigmentation conditions like melasma, freckles, and sun spots by breaking up the pigment and promoting an even skin tone.
Minimal Downtime
  • Due to the ultra-fast delivery of energy, the PicoSure laser is gentler on the skin than traditional lasers. This leads to less discomfort and a quicker recovery time, with many patients experiencing minimal to no downtime.
Gentle on the Skin
  • The shorter pulse duration of PicoSure means that it treats the skin with minimal heat, reducing the risk of scarring, irritation, and prolonged redness.
Precision
  • The ability to focus the energy precisely on specific areas makes PicoSure a versatile treatment for a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.
Non-invasive
  • It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning it doesn’t require surgery, making it an appealing choice for many individuals looking for a skin rejuvenation or tattoo removal option.
