How PicoSure Laser works
Because picosecond pulses are so short, they shatter pigment with pressure rather than relying mainly on heat. This allows effective pigment treatment with less heat in the surrounding skin, which can mean shorter recovery for many patients.
What PicoSure Laser can help with
- Sun spots and freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Some types of pigmentation
- Tattoo removal
- Fine texture and pores
- Post-acne marks
Who it may not suit: People with a recent tan, active infection in the area, or who are pregnant; melasma needs a cautious, doctor-led approach.

PicoSure Laser FAQ
How many PicoSure sessions are needed?
It depends on the concern. Pigment often needs several sessions a few weeks apart; tattoos usually need more.
Is PicoSure safe for Asian skin?
Picosecond lasers are commonly used on Asian skin. Your dermatologist adjusts settings to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Can PicoSure treat melasma?
Melasma is managed carefully. A dermatologist may combine gentle laser settings with topical care and sun protection rather than aggressive treatment.
What is the downtime?
Usually mild redness for hours to a day; treated spots may darken before flaking off.
