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?
Skin pigmentation imperfections erased with no downtime, and tattoos cleared with far less discomfort and fewer treatments
Removes age spots, sun damage, freckles, pigmented lesions, moles and birth marks
Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
Lessens acne scarring
Can remove ALL tattoo ink colors
Treats all skin types and colors
Uses pressure energy instead of heat to destroy the ink
Requires no downtime
Tattoos can be completely removed in as little as 3 treatments*
No risk of burning or blistering
Minimal risk of skin discoloration
Can treat new and old tattoos
Can treat failed treatments with other lasers




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.
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.
