What is PicoSure?
PicoSure is the world’s first picosecond laser for aesthetic use. A picosecond laser has a shorter pulse duration, operating at speeds measured in trillionths of a second. This allows the laser to generate energy in the form of pressure or pulsed shock waves with very little or no heat generation. What does this mean?
- Tattoos cleared with far less discomfort and fewer treatments, and skin pigmentation imperfections erased with no downtime.
What makes PicoSure unique?
What makes PicoSure unlike any of our other heat-based technologies? This laser treatment employs advanced versatility to promote a natural healing process and achieve results with precision–and no downtime. Age, sun damage, and other factors can cause skin pigmentation concerns that are often treated with more invasive skin treatments or lasers. remove unwanted pigment, as well as treatment for wrinkles and acne scars.
Due to the generated energy in the form of pulsed shock waves with very little or no heat generation, PicoSure is a more gentle treatment and requires no recovery period of downtime–but achieves outstanding results.
