This treatment is designed for
- Skin discoloration: PicoSure works in harmony with your skin to lighten pigmentation such as freckles, sun damage and more. It breaks up the tiny particles that make up these discolorations. The particles are then absorbed into the skin.
- Acne scarring- PicoSure works by signaling skin cells to release proteins which are detected by other cells. This encourages skin to heal as it produces new collagen and elastin. The result? Smoother, more radiant, healthier skin.
- Fine lines and Wrinkles: PicoSure kickstarts cells to release proteins that are then detected by surrounding cells. The skin starts healing as it creates new collagen and elastin. The treatment gently smooths as it restores your natural radiance. Isn’t science amazing?
