PicoSure
™
Changing dermatology forever
Unprecedented innovation in laser technology. PicoSure, the world’s first safe and effective picosecond aesthetic laser, has arrived. This unparalleled breakthrough in laser technology delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second. Picosecond pulse width is 100 times shorter than nanosecond technology, enabling unmatched photomechanical impact for better clearance with fewer treatments.
The future is here.

Shattering the past. Revealing the future. PicoSure is the first and only aesthetic picosecond laser for the safe and effective removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions. PicoSure’s ultra-short pulse duration goes beyond photothermal action creating an intense photomechanical impact, patented PressureWave™, resulting in greater disruption of the target for better clearance with fewer treatments, less fluence and without injury to the surrounding skin. Even dark, stubborn blue and green inks, as well as previously-treated, recalcitrant tattoos can be removed.
Picosecond vs. nanosecond technology Traditional nanosecond lasers predominately rely on photothermal action, delivering heat to the pigment and surrounding tissue.
PicoSure takes advantage of PressureWave Technology to shatter the target ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
Ultra-short Pulse Duration Is the Difference • Picosecond pulse width is 100X shorter than nanosecond technology. • Only ultrashort pulse durations trigger photomechanical effect. •W ith this short pulse width, half the fluence is required compared to Q-Switched nanosecond lasers.
