PicoSure
What is PicoSure laser?
PicoSure is the world’s first picosecond laser for many aesthetic treatments. PicoSure works by using 550-750 picosecond pulse durations of laser to deliver ultra-short bursts of energy to skin targets with minimal injury to the surrounding skin. PicoSure also has a patented, proprietary FOCUSTM Lens Array for skin rejuvenation and PicoToningTM , with minimal discomfort.
What are some skin conditions that can be treated by PicoSure laser?
Some common conditions that can be treated with PicoSure include solar lentigines, freckles, Hori’s naevi and Naevus of Ota. PicoSure is the best laser for tattoos, effectively removing black, green and blue tattoos.
Is PicoSure treatment painful?
Picosure is not painful. There may be slight temporary discomfort. A topical anaesthetic cream can be applied prior to laser treatment to minimise discomfort.
What can I expect during a PicoSure laser treatment?
A topical anaesthetic cream is usually applied prior to the laser treatment. It is important to protect your eyes with opaque metal eye shields during the laser treatment. The whole process is quick and usually completed in minutes.
What can I expect after PicoSure laser treatment?
There may be slight redness over the areas treated with laser. For some conditions, e.g. solar lentigines or freckles, a thin scab may form over the treated area. This usually flakes off over the next few days. For PicoToningTM , the redness usually resolves within a day. Skin recovery after PicoSure treatment is quick with minimal downtime.
How many sessions of PicoSure treatment do I need?
The number of sessions depends on the condition that the treatment is for. A quick guide is as follows
- Freckles – 1-2 sessions
- Solar lentigines – 1-3
- Hori’s naevi – 5-7
- Naevus of Ota – 5-7
- Tattoo (Black, Green, Blue)- 7- 10
