As technology evolves, our doctors periodically update laser platforms to better suit Asian skin types, pigmentation patterns, and patient affordability.

Patients searching for PicoSure Pro are encouraged to book a consultation to explore alternative laser treatments currently offered at RJ Clinic.

Important Notice About PicoSure Pro Availability

What is PicoSure Pro?

PicoSure Pro was a picosecond laser platform developed by Cynosure.

It was commonly used to treat pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles, and tattoos by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy to fragment pigment without excessive heat.

Limited wavelength options compared to newer platforms
Higher treatment cost passed on to patients
Narrower range of indications
Newer systems allow better customisation for Asian skin

Why RJ Clinic No Longer Uses PicoSure Pro

What Skin Concerns Can PicoSure Pro Treat?

The following reflects the historical indications of PicoSure Pro. Availability and suitability depend on the laser platforms currently used at RJ Clinic.

Pigmentation Removal

Sunspots, freckles, age spots, melasma, PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Breaks down excess melanin into micro-particles naturally cleared by your body
Melasma or skin pigmentation responds well when combined with chemical peel sessions.

Acne Scars

Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smoothen uneven skin texture
Improves atrophic acne scars without heat damage
For acne scarring, adding Potenza RF accelerates collagen rebuilding.

Skin Rejuvenation

Reduces fine lines, dull skin, large pores, and signs of aging
Boosts skin radiance and evens out complexion
Patients who want brighter complexion and hydration can pair with skinboosters.

Tattoo Removal

Works on multicolored tattoos (including blue and green)
Fewer sessions required compared to Q-switched lasers

Wrinkle Reduction

Smooths fine lines and improves skin elasticity
Encourages the natural healing process through collagen remodeling
Fine wrinkles around the eyes can be treated with Density RF for extra tightening.

Who Was Traditionally Suitable for PicoSure Pro?

It was suitable for patients who:

Prefer non-surgical skin improvement
Want visible yet natural-looking results
Have pigmentation, acne scars, uneven tone, or enlarged pores
Need minimal downtime and quick recovery
Are medically suitable after doctor consultation

Not suitable for:

Patients expecting one-session permanent results
Those with certain skin or medical conditions (doctor will assess)
Patients seeking immediate surgical-level change

For superficial pigmentation or uneven skin tone, some patients may respond well to a medical-grade chemical peel, depending on skin type and doctor assessment.

How Does PicoSure Pro Work?

PicoSure Pro uses picosecond technology – ultra-fast pulses of energy that break pigment or scar tissue into tiny particles without burning the skin. The body naturally eliminates these particles, resulting in clear, refreshed skin.

Additionally, the energy activates cell signaling pathways to stimulate collagen and elastin without relying on heat, which minimizes the risk of burns, scarring, or hyperpigmentation.
