PicoSure Pro Pigmentation Removal At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is PicoSure Pro For Pigmentation & Melasma?
PicoSure Pro is a highly advanced, 755-nm alexandrite laser explicitly designed to target unwanted dark patches, freckles, and melasma. Unlike traditional lasers that rely heavily on intense heat, this cutting-edge device uses ultra-short energy bursts to shatter excess melanin without damaging the surrounding tissue. This makes it an incredibly safe and highly effective pigmentation solution, uniquely capable of clearing complexions while gently revitalising the skin's overall texture.

How Does PicoSure Pro Work For Melasma?
A simple, comfortable method that targets pigment precisely
The PicoSure Pro laser uses unique PressureWave™ technology to deliver targeted energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). Instead of burning the skin, these rapid pressure waves gently shatter stubborn melanin clusters into microscopic particles. Your body's immune system then naturally flushes these tiny fragments away over the following weeks. Because the laser avoids extreme heat, the risk of triggering further pigmentation is significantly reduced, ensuring a safer healing process for delicate skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see significant fading after 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your exact treatment plan depends on the depth and severity of your pigmentation.
Yes. Because it uses rapid pressure waves rather than intense heat, it is highly safe for deeper complexions (Fitzpatrick types IV–VI) without causing burns or scars.
Patients usually feel a mild snapping or tingling sensation during the procedure. We can apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to ensure you are completely comfortable.
There is virtually no downtime. You might experience slight pinkness or warmth for a few hours, but you can return to your normal activities immediately.
While the shattered pigment is permanently removed, new melasma can form due to hormones or sun exposure. Wearing a high-SPF daily is vital to maintaining your clear results.
Absolutely. The laser not only breaks down dark pigmentation but also stimulates deep collagen production, which effectively smooths out textured acne scars.
