PicoSure is a picosecond laser treatment offered at Dr Saras & Co clinics across Sydney.
It delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to target pigmentation such as melasma, freckles, sun damage and brown birthmarks, along with tattoo ink and acne scarring, with minimal downtime.
PicoSure is a picosecond laser, meaning each pulse of energy lasts a trillionth of a second. These ultra-short pulses create a photomechanical effect that shatters pigment and tattoo ink into tiny particles, which the body then clears naturally.
Using the PicoSure, all three layers of photo-damaged tissue can be addressed at the same time: epidermal pigment, mid-dermal wrinkles and deep-dermal laxity.
A toning mode, sometimes referred to as PicToning, can be used to target pigmentation such as melasma, actinic pigmentation and photodamage.

Your practitioner will first assess your skin and discuss your goals to confirm PicoSure is right for your concern, no special preparation or anaesthetic cream is needed beforehand.
The handpiece delivers rapid picosecond pulses across the treatment area, taking around 10 to 15 minutes, with most patients describing a mild prickling or snapping sensation.
For pigmentation and tattoo ink, the laser breaks the target into smaller particles that the body clears naturally, so results build progressively rather than appearing right away. For skin texture and acne scarring, a fractional lens stimulates a natural repair response, with improvements developing gradually over a course of treatments.
Most patients experience only 1 to 3 hours of minor swelling and redness, and can apply moisturiser, makeup and sunscreen straight after treatment.
