PicoSure technology works in a similar way to a fractionated laser. It gently delivers ultra-short laser pulses (delivered faster than the nanosecond laser), that penetrate and break down damaged skin cell layers until a smoother and healthier skin is achieved.

While other treatments work by ablating and burning off the top layer of skin, this treatment promotes collagen and elastin production by stimulating a non-traumatic tissue healing response.

The Focus Lens Array has also been compared to previously used C02 lasers as it lengthens the skins elastin fibers, but without the pain or downtime.

The PicoSure laser treatment can be used on the face, neck, decolletage, hands and arms.

The Picosure treatment creates no visible skin damage except for mild redness, which generally resolves within 2-24 hours.  PicoSure technology is very safe, as it works in tandem with Focus Lens Array to minimise the amount of heat delivered to the skin. Thus, there are no side-effects or injuries on the skin.

The duration of the treatment depends on the individual needs, and the treatment area. Usually, one session does not take more than ten minutes as the laser works very quickly.

Picosure can take years off your appearance, rejuvenating skin with less wrinkles and pigmentation, and improved tone and texture.

Depending on the condition being treated, a course of treatments may be recommended. Picosure can effectively treat:

• uneven pigment
• age spots
• freckles
• enlarged pores
• crow’s feet
• lipstick lines
• smoker’s lines
• facial wrinkles
• frown lines
