PicoSure is an innovative laser technology that redefines skin revitalization and rejuvenation by removing unwanted pigment and treating wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. PicoSure is non-surgical, non-invasive, and focuses on specific skin issues on multiple areas of the body, not just the face. This unparalleled breakthrough in laser technology delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the treated area in trillionths of a second. The PicoSure fractionated laser treatment results in smoother, more monochromatic skin with improved texture and less brown spots.

FAQ’s:
Unwanted brown spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, pigmented lesions, melasma, wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
PicoSure is safe, versatile and can treat multiple areas on the body, including face, neck, chest (décolleté), back, arms, hands, and legs.
The sensation of the laser light on the skin may feel like a slight pinprick or the sensation of heat. The sensation of heat may last for an hour or longer after the treatment. Cold air or a cool gel pack may be used during treatment or post-treatment to cool the skin and to minimize warmth. You will also hear a slight snapping sound during the treatment and feel the touch of the laser distance gauge (part of the device) in the treated area.
Generally speaking, most patients require about 1 or 3 consecutive treatments to achieve their ideal appearance goals. These treatments are spaced about by at least 2 to 4 weeks, or sometimes as long as 8 weeks if you have sensitive skin or a darker complexion.
The results for this treatment will appear gradually as your skin’s natural regenerative abilities. For most patients, results are first visible about 2 or 3 weeks after the first appointment. Your results will continue to improve until your last treatment, or until optimal results have been achieved. However, depending on your treatment goals, you may notice results sooner or later than other patients.
This treatment is safe for all skin types and tones. If you have one or more anti-aging skin concerns or you have pigment-related concerns, you are likely a good candidate for this treatment.
