PicoSure Treatment Summary
The PicoSure laser is a 755nm picosecond laser treatment approved by the U.S. FDA, which is 1,000 times faster and stronger than conventional nano-second toning lasers. It targets melanin pigments in localized areas without damaging surrounding tissues by delivering high-intensity laser pulses in a short duration. This ensures effective pigment destruction with minimal side effects, as it avoids unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues.
