PicoSure®

Picosecond laser technology for tattoo ink, pigmentation, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation.

PicoSure® delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that create a photomechanical effect in targeted pigment. The technology can break tattoo ink and unwanted pigmentation into smaller particles that the body gradually clears.

Specialized treatment modes may also be used to improve acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture with limited thermal impact.

PicoSure® Care Recommendations

Keep the area clean, use sunscreen, and avoid picking, scrubbing, or exposing treated skin to excess heat. Tattoo-removal sites may need a dressing and specific wound-care instructions.
