What is PicoSure & why choose it?

     Treatment Mechanism

• PicoSure uses ultra-short (picosecond) pulses that deliver energy so fast it breaks pigment particles without relying on heat that can damage surrounding tissue.
• It stimulates collagen production as well as targeting pigment, which helps with overall rejuvenation (texture, tone, fine lines) beyond just dark spots. What can it treat?
• Pigmented lesions (sun spots, freckles, melasma)
• Acne scars, skin texture irregularities
• Dull skin tone, early signs of ageing

    Treatment & downtime

• Sessions are relatively quick (often 10-30 minutes depending on area).
• Minimal downtime: Because the surrounding tissue is spared, recovery is faster compared to older lasers.

⚠️ Things to Ask & Confirm During Consultation

• Which mode of PicoSure will they use (e.g., “Focus lens”, “Zoom Pass”, etc) as different modes target different concerns.
• Number of sessions recommended for your specific concern (pigmentation vs acne scars vs rejuvenation) — The literature emphasises multiple sessions are often needed. Korea Clinic Guide+1
• Pre- and post-care instructions: e.g., sun protection, avoiding certain skincare ingredients, cooling regime after treatment.
• Risks/side-effects: While minimal, you should ask about possible redness, slight swelling, pigment darkening temporarily.
• Cost transparency: Ask for full breakdown (session count, area size, any add-on care) to compare. For example some clinics list 1 session for prep or ‘Zoom Pass’ etc.
