What Is PicoSure® Pro Laser?
PicoSure® Pro is a cutting-edge laser treatment that uses picosecond energy to address multiple skin issues, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and even stubborn tattoos. With its 755nm wavelength, PicoSure® Pro delivers ultra-short pulses of energy, allowing it to treat skin imperfections safely and efficiently.
How It Works
PicoSure® Pro works by emitting ultra-short bursts of energy that target pigmentation and other skin concerns without generating excessive heat. This minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, allowing for faster recovery and reducing the risk of side effects. The laser’s precision makes it ideal for treating challenging conditions while leaving the surrounding skin healthy and intact.
