5.06 reviewsAbout this treatment
PicoSure Pro is the next-generation picosecond laser at our Sunnyvale clinic, delivering trillionth-of-a-second pulses to treat melasma, stubborn pigmentation, and tattoos for Bay Area patients. Originally designed for tattoo removal, PicoSure's Focus Lens Array has revolutionized skin rejuvenation by creating controlled micro-injuries that activate the body's cell signaling processes to stimulate collagen and elastin production — all without thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
IndicationsWho it's for
- Picosecond laser with minimal downtime
- Melasma, pigmentation, and dark spots visibly faded
- Tattoo removal across a wide range of ink colors
- Skin texture refined and pores reduced
- Fine lines and early aging softened
- Safe for most Asian skin types
Procedure
After cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream, our clinician uses the PicoSure handpiece with the Focus Lens Array to treat the designated areas. The laser delivers precisely calibrated pulses that convert laser energy into gentle pressure waves. These waves activate cell signaling without burning or damaging tissue. The Focus Lens redistributes the laser energy into microscopic high-intensity areas, maximizing the body's natural healing response. Multiple passes may be made depending on your specific skin concerns and treatment goals.
Aftercare
The treatment feels like a series of quick, warm snaps against the skin. Most patients find it very tolerable with topical numbing applied beforehand. A full-face session typically takes 15-20 minutes. You may notice mild redness and slight swelling for a few hours afterward. Many patients see visible improvement in skin clarity and tone after just one session, with optimal results appearing after a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
FAQ
- How does it work?
- PicoSure operates at 755nm wavelength with pulse durations of 550-750 picoseconds — 100 times shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers. This ultra-fast delivery creates a photomechanical effect rather than a photothermal one: the rapid pressure wave shatters pigment into tiny particles that the body can easily clear, while simultaneously creating microscopic vacuoles in the epidermis. These controlled injuries trigger an immune-mediated healing response that upregulates collagen III synthesis and increases elastin fiber density.
