PicoSure Treatment At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is PicoSure Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment?
When too much melanin accumulates in one area, it appears as dark patches, sun spots or melasma. The PicoSure Pro laser penetrates deep within the skin, releasing high-energy pulses in trillionths of a second. These pulses break the trapped pigment apart without overheating the surrounding skin, and your body then clears away the tiny shattered particles, so your skin tone looks brighter and more even.
Because the laser uses so little heat, it carries a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. That makes it one of the safest options for darker skin tones, including Fitzpatrick IV to VI.

How Do We Perform PicoSure Treatment?
A simple, comfortable method that targets pigment precisely
Dr Tanov keeps the treatment simple and comfortable. First, we cleanse your skin and, if you prefer, apply a topical numbing cream. We then guide the PicoSure Pro handpiece over each area of pigment, sending fast pulses of light that break the melanin apart.
To finish, we cool and soothe your skin and apply a high-factor SPF. The whole process is quick and gentle, and most people head straight back to their day.
