Benefits for practitioners
With more than one million treatments performed and 100% patient satisfaction,1 PicoSure has become a popular and trusted treatment worldwide.

A lack of downtime
There is no downtime following the use of this device. Patients may experience erythema that typically resolves within a few hours, but in some cases, may linger up to 24 hours. Since each patient is unique, it is highly recommend to follow the outlined clinical guidelines to help optimise safety and efficacy before treatment.
Practitioner perspective
Dr Asif Hussain, cosmetic dermatology and laser surgery specialist, comments, “I’m proud to be one of the first practitioners in the UK to use the PicoSure Pro device. The upgraded technology makes it even easier for me to effectively treat a variety of skin health and pigmentation concerns – with the added prestige of the FDA-cleared melasma indication, which impacts a significant number of my patients. With PicoSure Pro, I can achieve comparable treatment results to more aggressive lasers with less pain and no downtime, making it a true one-and-done device for a myriad of patient needs.”
