PicoSure Laser Treatment Melbourne

The PicoSure laser uses a 'picosecond' laser that uses one of two ultra-short wavelengths (755nm and 532nm) to break down the pigments into tiny, microscopic particles.

Treating Skin Concerns

PicoSure may be considered for concerns such as sun-related skin changes, freckles, or pigmentation. It can also be used alongside other treatment approaches or on its own, depending on individual needs.

Tattoo Removal

PicoSure can be used for tattoo removal by delivering short pulses of laser energy to the ink. The ink is broken down into smaller particles, which are gradually processed by the body.

Acne Scars

PicoSure may also be considered for acne scars. The laser delivers short pulses of energy to the skin, which affect the scar tissue and encourage changes in the treated area.

Pigmentation

PicoSure uses a FOCUS Lens Array, the latest picosecond technology that breaks up and removes hyperpigmentation, including melasma. This technology works by delivering ultra-short pulses of laser energy to the skin, targeting and breaking up pigmented cells. The shattered pigment particles are then gradually absorbed and eliminated by the body's natural processes.

Pigmentation

The PicoSure FOCUS Lens Array applies short pulses of laser energy to target pigmented areas of the skin. This process breaks the pigmentation into smaller particles, which are gradually processed by the body.

Fine Lines

The PicoSure FOCUS Lens Array can be applied to areas where fine lines are present, such as around the eyes or mouth. It can also be used on areas like the chest and hands.

Outcomes vary, and how the skin responds depends on factors such as age, skin type, and overall health.

Risks and complications associated with PicoSure laser treatment include:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Changes in skin pigmentation (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation)
• Blistering
• Infection
• Scarring
• Temporary skin sensitivity or discomfort
