Picosure Pro for brown marks
Picosure Pro is an advanced picosecond laser designed to target unwanted pigment in the skin with very short bursts of energy. It can improve a range of brown marks and pigment changes while minimising heat damage and downtime.
Conditions treated with Picosure Pro
Picosure Pro can be used to treat:
- Freckles and sun induced pigmentation
- Pigmentation and age spots on the face, chest and hands
- Café au lait macules in selected cases
- Naevus of Ota and deeper dermal pigment in suitable candidates
How Picosure Pro works
The laser delivers ultra short pulses that create a photoacoustic effect rather than relying solely on heat. This shatters pigment particles into tiny fragments, which are then gradually cleared by the body.
- Targets melanin with high precision
- Reduced thermal damage compared with some older technologies
- Can improve skin tone and clarity
Treatment course and expectations
Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the depth and density of pigmentation and individual response.
Brown marks often darken immediately after treatment before gradually lightening as the pigment breaks down. Sun protection is essential after each session to protect the treated skin and maintain results.
Suitability and assessment
A careful assessment of your skin type, pattern of pigmentation and medical history is needed to decide if Picosure Pro is appropriate. Some deeper or complex pigment disorders may require cautious treatment plans or alternative approaches.
