What is PicoSure Pro - Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo Removal
PicoSure is the first and only aesthetic picosecond laser for the safe and effective removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions, as well as acne scars, wrinkles and skin revitalisation treatments. Clinical data shows better clearance in fewer treatments.
With PicoSure, tattoos are removed faster and more completely; however, the number of sessions needed to remove your tattoo depends on several factors, which includes the color and size of the tattoo.
While traditional Q-switched lasers deliver photo-thermal pulses that heat the skin and surrounding tissues, PicoSure uses photomechanical technology to shatter the tattoo particles. PicoSure patients report shorter recovery time compared to Q-switched lasers and fewer treatments to remove the tattoo.

What causes pigment lesions?
What are pigmented lesions? These skin spots and growths are caused by melanocyte cells in the skin. Melanocytes are the cells that produce melanin, the substance that gives color (pigment) to the skin.
Patches can vary in size and develop anywhere on the body. The biggest risk factors for general hyperpigmentation are sun exposure and inflammation, as both situations can increase melanin production. The greater your exposure to the sun, the greater your risk of increased skin pigmentation.
