For pigmentation, freckles, sun spots, acne marks, pores and skin texture concerns.
PicoSure is a medical laser treatment that uses very short bursts of energy to target selected skin concerns. It may be considered for pigmentation concerns such as freckles, sunspots and sun damage.
The treatment works by delivering rapid pulses of laser energy to the skin. In some cases, a specialised Focus Lens may also be used to change how the energy interacts with the skin.
PicoSure may also be considered for concerns such as changes in skin texture, fine lines or scarring. Unlike some other laser treatments, PicoSure does not rely primarily on heat to achieve its effect.
Suitability, outcomes and the number of sessions required vary between individuals. Your practitioner will assess your skin and explain possible risks, side effects and alternatives during consultation.
PicoSure delivers very short pulses of laser light into targeted areas of the skin. This energy interacts with the skin tissue, and the body’s natural repair processes respond over time. The way the treatment works and its outcomes can vary between individuals.
PicoSure delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy to selected areas of the skin.
The laser energy helps break down targeted pigment into smaller particles, which the body may gradually process over time.
A specialised Focus Lens may be used to alter how the energy interacts with the skin, supporting treatment of texture, fine lines or scarring.
The skin’s natural repair process may respond over time, supporting smoother and more refreshed-looking skin.
PicoSure may be considered for pigment concerns such as freckles, sunspots, age spots and sun damage. Treatment suitability and results vary between individuals.
