When it comes to laser treatments for pigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation, not all devices are created equal. Among the top-tier technologies available today, PicoSure and PicoSure Pro stand out as industry leaders in true picosecond laser treatments. But what’s the real difference between the two?
🔬 Technology at a Glance
| Feature | PicoSure | PicoSure Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse Energy | 0.71 GW | 0.94 GW (more powerful) |
| Wavelength | 755 nm | 755 nm |
| Focus Lens Array | ✅ | ✅ (enhanced effect) |
| FDA-Approved | ✅ | ✅ |
| Treatment Depth | Superficial to mid-dermis | Deeper pigment & more skin layers |
| Discomfort Level | Low | Even lower (optimized delivery) |
🎯 Key Differences
1. Power & Efficiency
PicoSure Pro delivers higher peak power with even shorter pulse durations. This means:
- Stronger pigment shattering
- Better outcomes for stubborn melasma, dermal spots, and tattoos
- Fewer sessions needed
2. Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation
Thanks to its advanced Focus Lens Array, both systems stimulate collagen production — but PicoSure Pro does it more efficiently, making it ideal for:
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or rough skin
3. Comfort & Downtime
Both devices offer minimal downtime, but:
- PicoSure Pro is gentler, with lower skin surface heating
- Redness typically resolves within 24 hours (vs. 24–48h for PicoSure)
- No peeling or visible damage in most cases
✅ Ideal Candidates
| Condition | PicoSure | PicoSure Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Freckles, sunspots | ✅ | ✅ |
| Melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) | ✅ | ✅✅ (more effective) |
| Acne scars, enlarged pores | ✅ | ✅✅ |
| Tattoo removal | ✅ | ✅✅ (faster, fewer sessions) |
| Skin rejuvenation | ✅ | ✅✅ (stronger collagen boost) |
⚠️ Not All “Pico” Lasers Are the Same
Many devices on the market advertise as “picosecond lasers,” but few offer the true clinical performance of Cynosure’s PicoSure series:
- Authentic 755 nm wavelength specifically targets melanin
- Proprietary Focus Lens Array provides dual benefit: pigmentation + rejuvenation
- Backed by FDA, CE certifications for safety and efficacy
✨ In Summary
If you’re looking for:
- Powerful pigmentation removal
- Gentle, safe treatment for Asian or sensitive skin
- Minimal downtime with visible results
Then PicoSure Pro is the next-generation upgrade that takes skin laser treatment to a whole new level.
