PicoSure Pro treatments here at Aloha Laser Aesthetics are well-suited for a variety of laser skin rejuvenation applications and can be used for all skin types.
What Can PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment Do for Me?
PicoSure Pro is designed to address a wide range of skin concerns with meticulous precision. Whether you’re looking to refresh your appearance or remove a tattoo, this technology offers noticeable results with minimal discomfort. The potential benefits of PicoSure Pro treatment include:
- Rejuvenation of the skin’s overall texture and condition
- Reduction in visible signs of skin aging
- Diminishment of hyperpigmentation for a more even skin tone
- Removal of pigmented lesions
- Reduction of acne scars
- Treatment of sun damaged skin
- Stimulation of new collagen and elastin for smoother skin
- Removal of resistant tattoo ink and multicolored tattoos
Many of our patients choose PicoSure Pro as a non-invasive alternative to more aggressive resurfacing treatments. Its ability to treat multiple conditions can make it an ideal option for individuals seeking comprehensive results. Additionally, this advanced treatment option can be performed in combination with other skin care treatment options available at our practice, such as injectables and dermal fillers or other procedures, for a more complete aesthetic makeover.
How Does PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment Work?
Unlike traditional lasers that use heat to burn away pigment or skin layers, PicoSure Pro utilizes ultra-short bursts of energy delivered in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). These rapid pulses create a powerful photomechanical effect that breaks unwanted pigment or tattoo ink into tiny particles, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them.
In addition to pigment removal, PicoSure’s unique energy delivery stimulates the body’s natural healing response—encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. This regenerative process helps restore the skin’s firmness, clarity, and smoothness over time.
Because the laser energy is designed to target only specific problem areas without damaging surrounding skin, PicoSure Pro is associated with fewer side effects and faster recovery compared to older laser technologies.
There is virtually no downtime after treatment with the PicoSure Pro laser in most cases, and the majority of our patients describe their sessions as very tolerable. Multiple treatments may be required to achieve the desired goal; however, if you purchase sessions as a package, you may receive special pricing discounts.
What Can I Expect from the Results of PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment?
Results from PicoSure Pro are typically progressive, improving over time as collagen and elastin are replenished. While some patients may begin noticing a brighter, more even complexion and smoother skin texture after just one treatment session, others may need multiple treatments staged weeks or months apart to achieve the ideal results. Fine lines, discoloration, and acne scars should continue to fade as collagen remodeling occurs in the weeks following treatment.
For tattoo removal, results depend on the size, color, and depth of the ink, but PicoSure Pro is renowned for its ability to break down even stubborn pigments, including greens and blues. Each session should fade the tattoo further until full removal is achieved or the desired level of fading is reached.
Thanks to its minimal downtime, most patients return to their normal activities the same day. Redness and mild swelling may occur but typically subside within a few hours. Our provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and skin type.
