PicoSure treatment in NYC

What is PicoSure?

A healthy glow is a sign of youth – and it’s one that your skin deserves. The PicoSure brings vitality back to your face by improving the effects of sun-related and hormonal pigmentation and texture changes.

​

Unlike traditional laser treatments that deliver pulses in nanoseconds, the innovative PicoSure laser is the first and only picosecond laser on the market, delivering ultra-short bursts of energy to your skin in trillionths of a second! The speed helps ensure that cells and pigmentation in these areas are affected without any harm to healthy skin cells or tissue in the surrounding area. PicoSure is a fast and easy non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment that concentrates on problem areas. This treatment may also be used to treat other areas on the body, including the décolleté, face, legs and hands. It promotes enhanced collagen and elastin production for an improved appearance.

​What can it treat?

​

• Pigmented lesions
• Brown spots
• Freckles
• Melasma
• Sun damage
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars
• … AND tattoo removal of all colors too!

​

While PicoSure was first used for tattoo removals, newer clinical research shows impressive improvements for skin discoloration, textural changes, acne scars, and other sun-related skin conditions. Non-surgical, and with no downtime, PicoSure treatments are effective on the face, neck, chest, and body.

​

​What should I expect during treatment?

​

There’s no special prep for a PicoSure treatment, and procedures typically take about 10-15 minutes. Most people experience no pain and describe treatments as feeling like the snapping of a rubber band, but your treatment provider may offer numbing cream to minimize any possible discomfort.

​

Reducing unwanted wrinkles, acne scars and pigment is more convenient than ever before with the PicoSure laser. Fast, gentle treatments mean you don’t need to disrupt your busy life to achieve real improvements.

​

• Minimal swelling or redness—just 1–3 hours

• No need to cover up

• No need to miss work or leisure activities

​

​How is PicoSure different from other laser resurfacing (such as Fraxel) for skin rejuvenation?

​

Traditional lasers can be a highly successful way to achieve a younger look. However, they do require some recovery.

PicoSure, on the other hand, uses faster pulses of light energy to break-up pigment in the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. PicoSure requires minimal downtime.
