TEXTURE + TONE
Signaling a new day in skin revitalization
PICOSURE’s unique energy delivery is a breakthrough for patients’ seeking a way to improve their skin and reduce signs of aging but who don’t want to deal with the risks, pain, and downtime of traditional laser treatments.
PICOSURE is a non-surgical way to get high-impact results in treating a wide variety of hard-to-treat pigment conditions, including melasma, that cause uneven skin tone. It is also effective for deep acne scars and wrinkles. Because it uses carefully targeted energy, PICOSURE is safe for all skin types and skin tones.
How It Works
PICOSURE resurfaces the skin and destroys pigment particles below the surface for a more even tone. The treatment also promotes collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. PICOSURE’s PressureWave uses a unique wavelength of light and a specialized lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure that activates cells to create new collagen and elastin without burning or damaging the skin. The result is brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

FAQs
What should I expect during my treatment?
With PICOSURE, there’s no special prep and treatments typically take about 10-15 minutes. Most patients do not experience pain but sometimes liken the feeling to being snapped with a rubber band. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort during treatment, let us know and we can offer a topical anesthetic.
How long will my results last?
PICOSURE skin revitalization treatment results are long-lasting, but some pigment conditions such as age spots or freckles can recur over time, especially with excessive sun exposure. A PICOSURE skin treatment every six months can help maintain your results. Acne scar improvements, however, are permanent.
What should I expect after treatment?
Because PICOSURE uses quick bursts of energy which cause less injury to surrounding skin, patients heal more quickly with little discomfort. Some patients experience a few hours of mild redness and a very few have tenderness for up to two days. Most patients are able to resume their regular activities immediately following treatment with no downtime.
