PicoSure Pro
Meet PicoSure Pro, a cutting-edge laser technology for treating pigmentary conditions, skin revitalization, and removing tattoos. It’s significantly faster than traditional lasers, emitting extremely short energy pulses in trillionths of a second. Its rapid delivery of energy pulses ensures minimal thermal damage to the skin while effectively targeting unwanted pigment, wrinkles, acne scars, and pores.
What is PicoSure Pro capable of?
- Skin Rejuvenation: PicoSure Pro is used for skin rejuvenation treatments, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The laser stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to smoother and younger skin.
- Pigmented Lesions: PicoSure Pro effectively treats pigmented lesions like age spots, sunspots, freckles, and melasma. The laser energy breaks down the excess melanin in the skin, gradually reducing the appearance of any pigmentations.
- PicoFractional: PicoSure Pro offers a fractional delivery mode called PicoFractional, which facilitates the improvement of the overall texture and tone of the skin. This mode allows for precise skin ablation and remodeling.
