PicoSure Pro is a next-generation picosecond laser treatment designed to target common skin concerns with precision and minimal downtime. It uses ultra-short laser pulses to revitalize the skin by reducing unwanted pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. This breakthrough technology is now available to clients in San Jose, CA, looking for safe, fast, and effective skin rejuvenation.
PicoSure Pro emits ultra-short laser bursts—trillionths of a second—in a range of spot sizes and fluences. Instead of burning tissue, these bursts generate pressure waves that fracture pigment and tattoo ink while preserving skin integrity.
Your treatment is customized with:
Your skin care journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We will assess your skin concerns, medical history, and goals to determine if PicoSure Pro is the right fit for you.
During the session, you’ll be comfortably seated while the laser is applied to your skin using the appropriate lens and settings. The sensation is often described as a series of quick snaps that are mild but noticeable. Sessions typically last 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the area.
Depending on your concerns, you may require three to six treatments, spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. We will monitor your results and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Achieving glowing skin with PicoSure Pro is just the beginning—maintaining those results requires daily care and mindful habits. Here’s how to keep your complexion smooth, even, and youthful long after your treatment series is complete.
Sun protection is non-negotiable. Even minimal exposure to UV rays can trigger pigmentation and collagen breakdown, reversing your treatment results. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two to three hours when outdoors, and consider using mineral-based formulations that are gentle on treated skin.
Stick to non-irritating products that support skin recovery and barrier repair. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, and peptides. Avoid harsh exfoliants, alcohol-based toners, and retinoids immediately post-treatment unless advised. Keeping the skin well-hydrated is essential to supporting collagen development and maintaining a smooth texture.
What you do outside the treatment room matters just as much as what happens in it. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water daily to support your skin’s elasticity and glow. Prioritize a nutrient-rich diet with antioxidants—think leafy greens, berries, nuts, and omega-3s. Get at least seven to eight hours of quality sleep per night to allow your skin time to regenerate. Managing stress through movement, mindfulness, or rest also contributes to overall healthier skin.
While PicoSure Pro offers lasting improvements, maintenance sessions once or twice a year can help preserve your skin’s brightness and elasticity. These quick refreshers reinforce collagen production, lighten new pigmentation before it sets in, and keep your skin looking consistently vibrant. We can help determine the right interval based on your goals and skin’s response.
Most clients find PicoSure Pro treatments very tolerable. The sensation is often described as a series of quick, light snaps or flicks against the skin, similar to a rubber band. Because the laser uses ultra-short pulses that rely more on pressure than heat, discomfort is minimal compared to traditional lasers.
For particularly sensitive areas or lower pain tolerance, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort, although most patients don’t require it. Sessions are fast, and any mild tingling typically subsides within minutes of completion.
Initial improvements, such as a brighter complexion and more even tone, can often be seen within the first one to two weeks following your treatment. However, since PicoSure Pro works by stimulating your skin’s natural regenerative processes, optimal results develop gradually.
Pigmented spots lighten with each session, while collagen production builds over time, leading to smoother texture and reduced lines. Most patients notice a visible transformation after two or three treatments, with full results typically achieved after a series of four to six sessions.
Yes. One of the key advantages of PicoSure Pro is its safety profile for all skin types, including darker and melanin-rich complexions. Traditional lasers can carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation for people with medium to deep skin tones, but PicoSure Pro minimizes that risk by using rapid, low-heat pulses that don’t overheat the skin. It’s an excellent choice for patients of all ethnicities looking to treat discoloration, acne scarring, and texture without compromising safety.
One of the reasons PicoSure Pro is so popular is that there’s little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or a flushed appearance immediately after treatment, similar to a light sunburn, but this usually fades within a few hours. Most patients can return to work, social events, or errands the same day without restrictions. As always, it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous workouts for the first 24 to 48 hours to allow the skin to recover optimally.
