Picosecond laser treatment for pigmentation, acne scarring and skin texture — tailored to your skin after consultation.
PicoSure is a picosecond laser treatment designed to address pigmentation, acne scars and skin rejuvenation, following a consultation to determine suitability.
It may improve the appearance of pigmentation, certain acne scars and fine lines, depending on suitability and treatment response.
Minimal downtime: downtime is often minimal, although recovery and response vary between individuals.
PicoSure delivers ultra-short pulses of energy designed to target pigment and support collagen remodelling. Individual treatment response varies.
Its PressureWave™ technology produces a photoacoustic effect that breaks pigment into smaller particles, which the body gradually clears, while limiting thermal exposure.
Suitability for specific facial areas is determined after clinical assessment. Around the eyes and lips, PicoSure may improve the appearance of fine lines and texture.
On the neck it may improve texture and sun damage where appropriate, and full-face treatment may improve overall tone and texture.
PicoSure is a picosecond laser technology that delivers ultra-short energy pulses in trillionths of a second, producing a photoacoustic effect.
These pulses are designed to break pigment and tattoo ink into smaller particles, which can then be gradually cleared by the body.
On the day of the procedure, we apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
Regular follow-up appointments help us monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
This includes avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly.
Treatment parameters are tailored to your skin type, treatment area and clinical indication.
Suitability is confirmed only after an in-person consultation with our clinicians.
We discuss your goals and how PicoSure may help with pigmentation, certain acne scars and fine lines.
Suitability is assessed based on your medical history, skin type and clinical indication.
A numbing cream is applied, then treatment parameters are tailored to your skin type, area and indication — targeting pigment, scarring or fine lines.
Avoid direct sun exposure, use gentle skincare and apply sunscreen regularly. We advise on any further steps in the days after treatment.
Changes may develop gradually over the following weeks and across a series of sessions. Outcomes vary; follow-ups help us adjust your plan.
Individual results vary.
PicoSure treatment is individualised to your skin type and clinical assessment. Common uses at Dr. Ducu Clinics include:
Breaking down excess melanin to reduce dark spots, sun damage and uneven tone.
Supporting collagen remodelling to subtly soften fine lines and wrinkles.
Improving overall texture and the visibility of superficial acne scars.
Revitalising dull skin for a brighter, healthier-looking appearance.

Everything patients usually ask before booking a PicoSure consultation. Can’t find your answer? Our team will help.
Suitability is determined during consultation based on your skin type, medical history and treatment goals.
Some patients experience temporary discomfort during treatment. A numbing cream may be applied where appropriate to help minimise discomfort. The sensation may feel like a snapping or warming sensation. Any discomfort is usually temporary, although individual experiences vary.
Some patients may begin to notice changes in skin tone within the weeks following treatment.
Changes may become noticeable after treatment, with further improvement potentially developing over a series of sessions. The timing and degree of improvement vary depending on individual factors and the condition being treated.
The duration of treatment outcomes varies between individuals and depends on factors such as the condition treated, skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare routine.
To help maintain treatment outcomes, we recommend following an appropriate skincare routine, protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure and considering maintenance treatments where clinically appropriate.
Follow-up appointments can help assess your response and determine whether further treatment is appropriate.
Common side effects may include redness, swelling and temporary discomfort in the treated area. The duration and severity of these effects vary between individuals. Less commonly, temporary lightening or darkening of the skin can occur, particularly in darker skin tones. Your practitioner will discuss the relevant risks and possible side effects with you before treatment.
After PicoSure Laser treatment, it is important to follow the recommended aftercare instructions to support recovery and reduce the risk of irritation or complications. Refrain from strenuous exercise and activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 to 48 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds, and use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the treated area. Additionally, do not use harsh skincare products or exfoliants on the treated skin for a few days.
PicoSure Laser may not be suitable for everyone. Suitability will be assessed during your consultation, including any relevant medical conditions, medications and skin conditions.
The number of PicoSure Laser sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual treatment response. Your clinician will recommend an appropriate treatment plan following assessment.
We recommend avoiding makeup immediately after PicoSure Laser treatment to allow the skin time to recover. Your clinician will advise when it is appropriate to resume wearing makeup, based on your skin response and treatment area.
This may help reduce irritation during the initial recovery period.
PicoSure Laser can, in some cases, be combined with other treatments where clinically appropriate. Your clinician will advise whether combination treatment is suitable for your individual treatment plan.
At consultation we assess your skin and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
