What is PicoSure Laser?
How does PicoSure Laser work?
While most laser treatments use heat to destroy the skin’s surface area, PicoSure sends out bursts of lights with picoseconds in intervals – that’s one burst of light in every one trillionth of a second!
The short bursts of light administered through a special lens on the device also reduce the amount of heat delivered to the skin, so that you’re only disturbing the skin cells enough to trigger the repair / healing process.
This is why PicoSure requires fewer sessions to achieve your desired results and also give you a faster recovery time compared to other laser treatments.

Frequently Asked Question
PicoSure Laser is generally well tolerated. During treatment, patients may experience a mild snapping, tingling or warming sensation on the skin.
The level of discomfort depends on the treatment area, skin sensitivity and laser settings.
PicoSure Laser generally involves minimal downtime for many skin rejuvenation treatments. Mild redness, sensitivity or swelling may occur immediately after the procedure and often improves within several hours to 24 hours.
However, more intensive pigmentation or tattoo treatments may require longer recovery and can involve temporary darkening or crusting. Downtime varies depending on the treatment settings and individual skin response.
A PicoSure Laser treatment session at EE Clinic typically takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and skin concern.
The number of PicoSure Laser sessions depends on the skin concern, pigmentation depth, acne scar severity and individual response.
At EE Clinic, a typical treatment course may involve approximately 5-6 sessions, although some patients may require fewer or additional sessions. A doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment plan after assessing the skin.
PicoSure Laser sessions are generally scheduled approximately 4–8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment goal and the skin’s recovery.
Treatment intervals may vary for pigmentation, acne scars, skin rejuvenation or tattoo removal.
The recommended frequency should be determined by a doctor rather than following a fixed schedule for everyone.
Some patients may notice gradual improvement in pigmentation or skin clarity within the weeks following treatment.
For acne scars, fine lines and texture concerns, visible improvement may take longer as collagen remodelling occurs gradually.
Results depend on the skin concern, treatment settings and number of sessions completed. Multiple treatments may be needed for noticeable improvement.
Proper aftercare is important to support skin recovery and minimise pigmentation risks. Patients are generally advised to:
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Use gentle skincare and moisturiser
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or active skincare ingredients until advised
- Avoid picking, scratching or rubbing treated areas
- Follow the doctor’s specific post-treatment instructions
Aftercare recommendations may vary depending on treatment intensity and skin condition.
Yes. PicoSure Laser technology can be used to lighten or remove certain tattoos by breaking tattoo pigment into smaller particles that the body gradually clears.
