PicoSure Pro lasers is the only FDA-Approved laser treatment for Melasma, Hori's Nevus, and Nevus of Ota. PicoSure Pro is used to treat skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation correction, acne scarring, wrinkles and fine lines, producing amazing results by breaking down pigment into microscopic particles that get eliminated naturally through the body’s immune system.
PicoSure Pro is an advanced laser skin treatment system that provides clients with almost immediate skin rejuvenation. The PicoSure Pro laser was designed to minimize treatment times and reduce discomfort with fewer side effects, making it a popular choice among those seeking significantly improved results with no downtime.

PicoSure Pro laser skin treatments allow us to help restore your youthful glow, no matter where on the body. PicoSure Pro laser treatments reduce wrinkles and sunspots scattered across the face, neck and hands from years of sun exposure - all while revitalizing skin tone on all areas treated!
Wrinkles & Fine Lines
The PicoSure Pro laser uses precise ultra-short pulses of energy to create microscopic pockets of pressure known as Laser Induced Oxidative Breakdowns (LIOBs) in the skin, prompting a natural healing response. This stimulates collagen production and can lead to an overall smoother complexion with diminished fine lines and wrinkles for those seeking younger looking skin.
Uneven Skin Tone & Texture
PicoSure Pro laser is the perfect solution to achieving a flawless complexion! It targets and breaks down pigmented areas of skin, such as sun spots or age spots. But not only that - it also smooths rough patches for an even tone and texture. The end result? A natural radiance that leaves you glowing!
Brown spots and Hyperpigmentation
PicoSure Pro laser is a revolutionary treatment for those dealing with stubborn brown spots and hyperpigmentation. By delivering targeted energy to deeper layers of the skin, it helps break down excess pigment while giving your body's natural healing process an extra push to remove pigmented cells, resulting in improved complexion clarity.
Reduce Pore Size
The PicoSure Pro laser packs a powerful punch when it comes to minimizing enlarged pores. The energy emitted helps promote collagen production, leading to tighter and smaller looking pores while providing an overall smoother texture - leaving skin with a more even complexion.

Tattoo Removal using Picosure Pro
​
A revolutionary rapid-burst of energy lasting just a trillionth of a second targets tattoo color pigment and leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected. This ultra-short pulse causes a change of pressure, and unlike previous generations of tattoo removal process, which used more power and generated heat, PicoPro uses just a fraction of the energy pulse with PressureWave™ technology. The fast change in pressure breaks down the ink into tiny particles, which the lymphatic system can eliminate naturally.
​
Tattoo regret can be hard to live with but modern laser technology is revolutionizing tattoo removal. The PicoSure Pro Laser’s advanced pulsed light energy has proven highly effective at breaking up ink molecules of even the most stubborn multicolored tattoos into microscopic particles that can be easily absorbed by your body, returning your skin back to a blank canvas!

PicoSure Pro laser treatments are uniquely tailored to each individual, helping correct skin concerns through a personalized approach. While results may vary person-to-person, producing the desired outcome may require more than one session with this groundbreaking technology.

The PicoSure Pro operates by creating an intense photothermal impact in trillionths of a second through an ultra-quick picosecond pulse duration of light that spares the skin of high thermal damage (unlike other lasers and similar technology). By primarily targeting the melanin chromophore, instead of water, the PicoSure Pro spares damage to surrounding tissues (and reduces side-effects). In this larger process that researchers characterize as Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB), epidermal repair mechanisms are stimulated and produce positive clinical findings. This photomechanical reaction stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, including key components of youthful skin (with production of new collagen and elastin). The picosecond pulse duration’s photo acoustic mechanisms also lighten (disperse) unwanted pigment. As a result, PicoSure Pro treats a range of pigmentary conditions with better clearance in fewer treatments. The PicoSure Pro laser offers versatility with three treatment wavelengths (532 nm, 755 nm, and 1064 nm), broad customizable pulse durations, spot sizes, fluency, and repetition rate. Treatments are customizable with 2-6 mm, 5 mm, 6mm 8 mm, and 10 mm spot sizes. The flat optic can address discrete targeted pigmented lesions in all skin types. The photomechanical actions of the PicoSure Pro can even be enhanced.9-12 The Platinum FocusTM Lens provides full-face treatments that improve texture and tone.
