Picosure

PicoSure is a professional aesthetic laser treatment designed to support the appearance of uneven pigmentation, overall skin tone and texture, and tattoo fading. It uses picosecond-pulse technology and multiple wavelengths to deliver targeted light energy in a controlled, non-invasive manner.

This treatment is commonly selected by clients seeking a refined approach to skin rejuvenation or tattoo lightening, with a focus on skin comfort and minimal disruption to daily activities.

PicoSure treatments are performed by trained practitioners and tailored following individual consultation

How the Treatment Works

PicoSure delivers ultra-short pulses of light energy to selected areas of the skin. These rapid pulses are designed to interact with pigment and ink particles at the skin surface, supporting gradual lightening and visual refinement over a series of treatments.

Key features of the PicoSure treatment approach include:

Targeted light delivery to areas of pigmentation or tattoo ink
Multiple wavelength options (532nm, 755nm and 1064nm) to allow treatment customisation
A range of spot sizes to suit different treatment areas
Picosecond pulse duration designed to support skin comfort and limit unnecessary heat exposure

The treatment process and parameters are determined by the practitioner based on individual skin type, area of concern and treatment goals.

Treatment Applications

PicoSure may be selected by clients seeking support with the appearance of:

Uneven or sun-affected skin tone
Visible pigmentation
Overall skin texture and clarity
Tattoo fading, including darker and coloured inks

Individual experiences and outcomes may vary, and multiple sessions are commonly recommended.

Tattoo Lightening

PicoSure can be used as part of a professional tattoo lightening programme. Different wavelengths may be utilised to target various ink colours, and treatment settings are adjusted according to the tattoo characteristics and skin type.
