Cynosure Technology
PicoSure Focus Lens Array
Photomechanical pressure wave technology for precise pigment shattering
Unlike traditional thermal lasers, PicoSure relies on ultra-fast pressure waves that convert laser energy into pressure, gently shattering target pigment into tiny dust-like particles for natural body clearance.
What Is PicoSure
The Power of Picosecond Precision.
PicoSure by Cynosure is the world’s pioneer 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser system. Delivering light energy in trillionths of a second, it creates a powerful photomechanical impact that breaks down stubborn freckles, sun spots, melasma, and tattoo ink without thermal skin damage.
When paired with the patented Focus Lens Array (FLA), PicoSure redistributes energy into micro-beams, initiating Cell Signaling underneath the skin. This triggers fresh collagen and elastin production to smooth fine lines, shrink enlarged pores, and improve pitted acne scarring.
Key Benefits
What PicoSure Targets & Refines.
Acne Scar Revision
Focus Lens technology creates Micro-Laser Induced Breakdown (LIOB) to break scar tissue and stimulate smooth collagen growth.
Pore & Fine Line Care
Tightens dilated pores and smooths early signs of aging without peeling, heat trauma, or extended recovery.
Tattoo & Ink Removal
High specificity for green, blue, and dark inks, breaking pigment particles into microscopic fragments.
How It Works
The PicoSure Treatment Journey.
01
Physician Consultation & Skin Mapping
Our dermatologist measures pigment depth, skin phototype, and scar depth to calibrate exact PicoSure energy fluence and spot size settings.
02
Topical Numbing (Optional)
For Focus Lens scar treatments, a gentle topical numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes to ensure complete patient comfort.
03
Targeted Picosecond Delivery
The handpiece passes over target regions, delivering picosecond light waves with continuous cold-air skin cooling.
04
Soothing Recovery Care
A soothing mask and LED light therapy are applied immediately post-laser to calm mild temporary pinkness and lock in moisture.
Suitability
Is PicoSure Right for You?
✓
Resistant brown spots, freckles, or melasma patches
Ideal for individuals who have tried conventional lasers without full pigment clearance.
✓
Textural concerns like open pores or shallow acne scars
Great candidate if you want texture improvement without harsh ablative resurfacing downtime.
✓
Travelers looking for minimal post-laser erythema
Perfect for international patients who want clear skin results without hiding indoors during their Seoul trip.
!
Active facial dermatitis or open skin lesions
Active skin infections or open breakouts must be resolved prior to picosecond laser therapy.
How It Compares
PicoSure vs. Alternative Lasers.
| Option | Wavelength & Mechanism | Primary Focus | Recovery Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| PicoSure Laser | 755nm Alexandrite (Picosecond Photomechanical) | Pigment, Acne Scars, Pores, Collagen | 0–24 Hours (Mild pinkness) |
| Standard Nd:YAG Toning | 1064nm Nanosecond (Thermal light pulses) | General maintenance skin tone brightening | Zero downtime |
| CO2 Fractional Laser | 10600nm Ablative thermal resurfacing | Deep severe scars & heavy wrinkles | 5–7 Days (Crusting & peeling) |
PicoSure FAQ
Common Questions.
How does PicoSure differ from standard laser toning?
Standard lasers use nanosecond thermal pulses that heat skin tissue. PicoSure operates in picoseconds (1,000x faster) using pressure waves to shatter pigment cleanly with far less heat, dramatically reducing risk of rebound pigmentation.
How many sessions are typically required?
Many patients notice improved clarity after a single session. For deeper melasma or pitted acne scars, a series of 3–5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart yields optimum collagen remodeling and pigment removal.
Is the PicoSure Focus Lens treatment painful?
With topical numbing cream, the treatment is very comfortable. Most patients feel a light prickling or warm vibration on the skin surface.
Can I wear makeup after PicoSure?
Yes. Skin pinkness usually fades within a few hours to 24 hours. You can apply sunscreen and light mineral makeup the very next day.
Is PicoSure suitable for foreign travelers on short Seoul trips?
Yes! Because PicoSure leaves the epidermal surface intact, there is virtually zero social downtime, making it ideal to integrate into your itinerary.
