Revitalization with picosecond energy
PicoSure Pro delivers energy in extremely short pulses. With the appropriate handpiece and settings, it may be used for selected pigment, acne-scar, wrinkle and skin-revitalization concerns. The goal is a clearer, more refined appearance—not aggressive resurfacing for its own sake.
Possible goals
- Selected benign pigment and sun-related spots
- Uneven-looking tone and dullness
- Selected acne-scar and texture concerns
- The appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores
What the visit feels like
Most treatments involve a rapid series of brief energy pulses. Sensation varies with the treatment, area and intensity. Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, pinpoint effects, darkening or crusting of pigment may occur.
How many sessions?
A plan may involve approximately 3–6 sessions, often several weeks apart, but the number and interval depend on the target and response. Pigment treatment and revitalization are not the same protocol, and not every PicoSure Pro handpiece or indication is appropriate for every skin type.
Risks and limitations
Possible effects include redness, swelling, blistering, crusting, acne-like flare, infection, scarring and temporary or lasting pigment change. Melasma and post-inflammatory pigment require especially conservative planning because heat or inflammation can worsen them. Results vary.
