The first and leading choice for skin revitalization treatments for Wrinkles, Acne Scars and Pigment such as freckles, sunspots and discoloration.

PicoSure is the first of a new generation of aesthetic lasers that don’t rely solely on heat to burn away melanin, the pigment that causes dark spots in your skin. Instead of building up heat, PicoSure delivers energy so rapidly (in trillionths of a second = picosecond) that tiny particles of the pigment vibrate and shatter, without burning surrounding tissue. Less heat means less tissue damage and discomfort.

PicoSure’s PressureWave™ technology uses a unique wavelength of light (755nm) and a proprietary Focus™ lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure. The Focus Lens Array delivers 20x the energy density of a normal PicoSure pulse to begin activating cell signaling. This pressure squeezes cells, activating the natural cell signaling processes that create new collagen and elastin and, ultimately revitalizes skin.

The result? Brighter, Healthier, Younger-looking skin—with virtually no downtime. That’s breakthrough!
