What is PicoSure® laser pigment correction?
Pico® Laser Energy is delivered in picosecond (one-trillionth of a second) pulses, generating a photoacoustic effect that shatters melanin clusters into microscopic particles — without generating excess heat. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body. Compared with traditional nanosecond lasers, PicoSure® is faster and more precise, with a significantly lower risk of burns or inflammation.
Device technical specifications
- Device Manufacturer: Cynosure
- How it works: Selective photothermolysis + targeted action on pigment / vascular structures / tissue water
Pico® How Pigment Correction Works
The laser targets pigmented lesions in both the epidermis and dermis, shattering melanin deposits while leaving the surrounding skin intact. It also triggers controlled dermal remodeling, stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration. Pigmentation fades progressively, and the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) risk management
- Wood’s lamp Diagnosis— Identifying pigment type to determine appropriate energy level and wavelength
- Fitzpatrick Assessment— III–V Asian skin types treated with a low-energy protocol
- Higher-risk candidates receive a test spot first— Test spot first, then determine full-face treatment plan

What these references can and cannot tell you. They describe what is known about the treatment itself — how well it tends to work, how long results last, and what can go wrong. They are not an assessment of this clinic, and no published study can tell you whether it suits your skin type, anatomy, or medical history. That judgement comes from the physician who examines you in person, and it may well be “not this one”.
