Skin rejuvenation with Picosure is the latest and most innovative in the aesthetic laser industry. It has revolutionized the photo rejuvenation and skin imperfections treatments.

Traditional skin rejuvenation laser treatments use photothermal action (heat). Skin rejuvenation with Picosure, on the other hand, uses ultra-short pulses to create a photomechanical effect, known as PressureWave. This creates shockwaves in the dermis which encourages the production of new collagen and elastin without damaging the skin.

ADVANTAGES OF SKIN REJUVENATION WITH PICOSURE

• Just a bit of redness which disappears in the next hour. Due to the modern technology, there is consequently no side effects and also minimal downtime. In addition; no time off required.

• The treatment causes mild discomfort, but the pain is relieved with the cooling air system. Less treatments required than traditional treatments.

• Faster – the treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes on average, depending on the size of the area.

• Visible results after just one treatment – The stimulation of the laser continues to stimulate the skin months after the treatment.

• Unlike peels, laser rejuvenation does not peel the skin after a session. Due to the light energy which penetrates directly into the skin to destroy the pigments and underlying vessels responsible of the irregularities of the skin
