How PicoSure FOCUS Works

PicoSure treatments use ultra-short pulses of laser light in a process called skin cell activation to target your wrinkles, unwanted tattoos, brown spots, sun damage, freckles, acne scars, or pigmented lesions. The laser light energy triggers skin cell activation, causing cells to release proteins that initiate a healing response in your skin.

PicoSure FOCUS is a non ablative treatment, which means it stimulates collagen production while preserving the epidermis. The technology is designed to minimize thermal damage to the surrounding tissue, unlike traditional lasers. PicoSure FOCUS laser is safe for most skin types, including very light and very dark skin.

Real Patient PicoSure Results

Preparation for Your PicoSure Treatment

To help your skin look its best and minimize any potential side effects, start by avoiding direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before your appointment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day. It’s also important to stop using harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or glycolic acid, about a week before your treatment, as these can make your skin more sensitive. Be sure to let your practitioner know about any medications you’re taking, medical conditions, or previous laser treatments, as this helps them tailor your session for optimal results.

On the day of your appointment, patients should arrive with skin free from makeup, moisturizers, or any other products. For added comfort, a numbing cream may be applied to the treated area before your session begins.

During Your PicoSure Appointment

The PicoSure procedure is designed to be both effective and convenient, with treatment time typically ranging from just a few minutes to under an hour, depending on the size of the treated area. During your session, your practitioner will use the advanced Focus Lens Array to deliver ultra-short bursts of laser energy directly to the targeted skin.

Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warmth, which is generally well-tolerated, especially if numbing cream is used. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the treatment area. After the treatment, you may notice temporary redness or slight swelling of your skin, but these effects usually subside within a few hours. Because PicoSure FOCUS offers virtually no downtime, you can quickly return to your daily activities with radiant skin and minimal interruption. Your practitioner will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and help

Who Are Ideal Candidates for PicoSure?

PicoSure is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a gentle, non-invasive solution for skin rejuvenation. Ideal candidates include those looking to address acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, age spots, and other forms of unwanted pigmentation. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients.

During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your medical history, and help you develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re hoping to achieve a more youthful glow, improve the appearance of pigmented lesions, or simply maintain healthy skin, PicoSure can help you reach your desired results with minimal downtime and maximum comfort.

Maintenance Tips for Lasting PicoSure Results

To keep your skin looking its best after PicoSure, it’s important to adopt a consistent skincare routine to further promote your skincare goals. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, reapplying every two hours when outdoors, and avoid unnecessary sun exposure to prevent new pigmentation issues. Choose gentle, nourishing skincare products that support ongoing collagen and elastin production, and steer clear of harsh exfoliants or irritants.

For optimal results, consider scheduling skin maintenance treatments, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, as recommended by your practitioner. These can enhance and prolong the benefits of your PicoSure sessions. Regular follow-up appointments will help monitor your progress and address any new skin concerns, including removing tattoos or pigmentation changes. Combining PicoSure with other picosecond laser treatments can further support your skin’s health and radiance, ensuring you enjoy your rejuvenated look for months to come.

Understanding Potential Side Effects of PicoSure Treatments

PicoSure is known for its safety and minimal downtime, but like any laser, it can have some temporary side effects. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or slight bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours to a few days. Rarely, more significant effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, especially if aftercare instructions are not followed.

Choosing a skilled and experienced practitioner is key to minimizing risks and ensuring a smooth treatment experience. Your provider will discuss the benefits and potential risks with you, including the use of numbing cream to enhance comfort. By following all aftercare recommendations and attending scheduled follow-up visits, you can enjoy the benefits of this advanced aesthetic picosecond laser technology—whether you’re seeking tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, or both—with confidence and peace of mind.
