PicoSure Pro
What it is
PicoSure Pro is a 755 nm no downtime laser with customizable treatment settings to deliver the best treatment tailored for your skin concerns.
How it works
There are two types of lenses:
Platinum Focus Lens: A diffracted beam that redistributes energy being delivered by the laser. Through Laser Induced Optimal Breakdown, dermal
remodeling occurs by the stimulation of collagen and elastin production during epidermal repair. It improves skin texture by stimulating collagen
and elastin production. It treats diffuse pigment. The Platinum Focus Lens treats:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Diffuse pigment
Flat Lens: A uniformed beam of energy is delivered to the skin. The flat lens treats:
- Stubborn pigment
- Dark spots
- Tattoo removal
How should I prepare for the treatment?
- The patient cannot be tanned, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- The patient cannot have broken skin (peeling or inflamed skin), seizure disorders, or have done Botox and/or Filler in the past 2 weeks.
- At least a week before your treatment, stop use of all photosensitizing medications, especially Retinols, Retin-A, and Adapalene
What should I expect during the treatment?
You will be numbed for an hour prior to the treatment. It will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour depending on the areas treated.
What are the skin rejuvenation benefits of the PicoSure Pro Laser?
The ultra-short picosecond pulses break down unwanted pigment and trigger the skin’s natural healing response to stimulate collagen and produce elastin. This minimizes the appearance of hyperpigmentation, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes acne scars, and improves skin texture and tone.
Is there any downtime after a PicoSure laser treatment?
There is minimal to no downtime after the treatment. You may experience slight redness after the treatment, but this subsides within a few hours. Slight bronzing of the skin may occur 3-8 days after the treatment. This resolves very quickly.
Is the PicoSure Pro laser safe?
Yes, the PicoSure Pro is a non-invasive laser treatment with customizable parameters that will allow us to safely treat our patients depending on their skin type/skin condition.
What does the PicoSure Pro laser feel like?
You will numb for an hour prior to the treatment. You may feel light rubber band snaps or quick stings against the skin. The usage of short pulses instead of heat helps the treatment be generally tolerable with minimal discomfort and fast recovery times.
How long does a PicoSure Pro laser treatment take?
The length of the treatment depends on the size of the treatment area. An entire face may take up to 45 minutes.
How many PicoSure Pro treatments will I need?
You will need at least 3 treatments. It is recommended to do 3-5 treatments to receive your desired results.
How long will the PicoSure Pro results last?
Results will be noticed in 2 to 3 weeks. You will notice further rejuvenation and texture improvements for up to a year. It is important to maintain the results with consistent sun protection and maintenance treatments approximately every 6 months.
How often can I do a PicoSure Pro treatment?
Treatments are usually every 4-6 weeks.
