PicoSure ® Pro

• December 18, 2022

The World’s 1st 755nm Picosecond Laser

The PicoSure Pro device delivers 755nm energy in picoseconds; the delivery is so quick that it spares the skin from high thermal damage while optimally targeting unwanted pigment, wrinkles, acne scars and pores with less downtime than traditional lasers.

The Power to Transform

With over 1 million treatments performed and 100% patient satisfaction, this has become a popular and trusted treatment worldwide.

• Remove unwanted pigment safely and effectively in all skin types; the only picosecond device FDA-cleared to treat melasma pigment, nevus of Ota and Hori’s nevus
• Reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and pore size with no downtime
• Improve overall skin tone & texture; providing patients with lighter, brighter and more radiant complexion

Why is PicoSure Pro Unique?

PicoSure Pro uses primarily photomechanical action and delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy. Energy is delivered so quickly (in a trillionth of a second) that it vibrates and shatters the unwanted pigment and tattoo ink into tiny sand particles that are more easily eliminated by the body’s natural detoxification system. This is a very different approach compared to traditional lasers, which use photothermal action; relying solely on heat to break up unwanted melanin. Less heat translates to less tissue damage and discomfort.

PicoSure Pro’s advanced technology spares the skin from high thermal damage while optimally targeting the chromophore for better clearance in fewer treatments.

Enhanced and Upgraded version of PicoSure

PicoSure Pro is the new and upgraded version of PicoSure, which is known to be the worldwide gold standard for pigment removal and skin rejuvenation; proven to offer even better, faster, and more remarkable results.

The PicoSure Pro has several features that help alleviate the previous limitations of PicoSure. Among these features is the new adjustable fluence system, in which the energy being delivered for a given spot size can be adjusted based on the individual patient’s skin.  This is very important as every skin is different and therefore a more versatile and customizable treatment ultimately produces more desirable results.

Remove Unwanted Tattoos

The PicoSure Pro laser makes tattoo removal even easier. The 755nm wavelength is able to target black, blue, and green tattoo inks, while the optional 532nm wavelength offers effective treatment of “sunset colors”—red, yellow and orange—which are typically hard to correct. You’ll also be able to:

• Tailor treatments using variable spot sizes
• Use turbo mode to better treat recalcitrant tattoos with shortened pulse width
• Treat black ink in darker skin type patients using the 1064nm delivery

Before & After:
