What Is PicoSure Laser Skin Treatment?

PicoSure is the first clinically proven picosecond aesthetic laser, engineered to deliver ultra-short bursts (750–850 picoseconds) of energy to target the dermis without relying on thermal damage. Unlike nanosecond or Q-switched lasers, PicoSure induces a photomechanical effect—not a photothermal one—allowing for selective targeting of pigment and dermal structures while preserving surrounding tissue integrity.
‍
This unique mechanism causes intracellular pressure waves that fragment melanin into smaller particles for faster phagocytosis while simultaneously stimulating fibroblast activity, enhancing the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The result is accelerated clearance of epidermal and dermal pigment as well as improved dermal remodelling and skin texture.
‍
PicoSure is particularly effective for the treatment of melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, photoageing, and acne scarring, and it is also widely used for multi-colour tattoo removal. Its non-thermal profile significantly reduces the risk of complications such as post-inflammatory erythema, making it a safer option for patients with darker skin phototypes (Fitzpatrick III–V).

What Can PicoSure Laser Treatment Treat?

PicoSure is highly versatile and can safely treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PicoSure laser treatment?

PicoSure is an advanced picosecond laser that uses ultra-short pulses of energy to create a pressure-based effect rather than heat. It treats a variety of skin conditions by breaking down pigmentation, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin rejuvenation. This non-invasive treatment is used to reduce the appearance of scars, even out complexion, and safely perform laser tattoo removal with minimal downtime.

Can PicoSure skin laser treatment help with freckles and sunspots?

Yes, PicoSure laser treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of freckles, sunspots, and other pigmented lesions. It targets excess skin pigmentation with ultra-short pulses of laser energy, breaking it down without damaging surrounding tissue. This makes it a safe and effective option for improving skin tone, complexion, and overall skin rejuvenation.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the skin condition being treated, but mild concerns may improve after just one session. 

Is there downtime?

There’s typically no downtime, though you may experience mild redness for up to 24 hours post-treatment.

Can it treat melasma or hormonal pigmentation?

Yes. PicoSure is one of the safest and most effective lasers for melasma, especially compared to heat-based systems that can worsen it.

Is it safe for all skin types?

PicoSure is generally safe for most skin tones, including darker skin, when administered by trained professionals using the correct settings.
