What is PicoSure Laser?

PicoSure is a picosecond laser that delivers extremely short pulses to break pigment into tiny particles the body can clear naturally. It is used for sun spots, freckles, uneven pigmentation and tattoo removal, and with a focus lens for skin revitalisation and texture. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, settings are chosen by a board-certified dermatologist for your skin type.

How it works

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.

Questions & Answers

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.
