PICOSURE LASER


The PicoSure laser we use is safe for use on darker skin types because it uses a special lens to split the laser beam into many small pin-point beams, rather than shining the beam over a large area of skin. At each pin-point, a laser-induced optical breakdown is produced, which creates a shock wave that enhances cell proliferation in that area, stimulating collagen growth and elastin production.


This means that you can benefit from the positive effects of the laser without having too much heat put into the skin, which significantly reduces the chance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

  • What does the Picosure procedure involve?

    It requires a skin patch test at least 24 hours before the whole face treatment. A numbing cream is applied for 20 mins. The skin will then be cleaned prior to treatment. During the procedure, we'll blow cold air over the face as we go over the treatment area with the laser. This helps to reduce the heat in the skin, making it a more comfortable treatment. An aloe Vera gel will be applied afterwards for about 15 mins. The whole appointment will take about an hour.

  • How long will the recovery time be after a Picosure treatment?

    The length of Picosure recovery time can vary depending on the treated area and individual healing ability. However, most people experience redness and minor swelling for up to 24 hours, occasionally for 2-4 days after the treatment.

  • What should I expect after having Picosure Laser treatment?

    After the Picosure laser treatment, you can expect to see improvements in the appearance of your skin within the following weeks. These include smoother skin texture, more even colour and better hydration.

  • How many treatments of Picosure will I need?

    Depending on the skin concern being treated, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. This will be discussed in the initial consultation.

  • Aftercare for Picosure

    Aftercare for Picosure treatment involves protecting your skin from sun exposure and avoiding harsh products and procedures that may irritate the treated area. It is also recommended to use sunscreen and moisturiser regularly to promote healing and maintain healthy skin.
