ABOUT THE TREATMENT

what is picosure?

PicoSure is a picosecond aesthetic laser manufactured by Cynosure that delivers ultra-short pulse bursts measured in trillionths of a second (picoseconds). This pulse duration is 100 times shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers, creating a photomechanical impact that shatters target particles more efficiently.

For tattoo removal, PicoSure breaks ink particles into smaller fragments than conventional lasers, allowing the body to clear pigment faster. For skin revitalization, the Focus Lens Array creates pressure waves that stimulate collagen and elastin production without thermal damage.

Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness selected PicoSure specifically for its ability to deliver results with fewer treatments and reduced recovery time.

BENEFITS

benefits of picosure at ethos aesthetics + wellness

Faster Results

Picosecond technology shatters particles more completely than nanosecond lasers. This means fewer treatments needed for tattoo clearance and quicker visible improvement for skin concerns.

Less Downtime

The ultra-short pulse duration minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Patients at Ethos experience shorter recovery periods compared to traditional laser treatments.

Effective on Difficult Colors

PicoSure's 755nm wavelength particularly excels at targeting blue, green, and purple inks that frustrate other lasers. This expands treatment options for colorful tattoos.

Skin-Safe Technology

The Focus Lens Array allows skin revitalization without ablation. This means improvement in texture and tone without the extended healing required by resurfacing lasers.

Precision Treatment

Ethos practitioners adjust PicoSure parameters precisely for each patient's needs, whether clearing a small tattoo or treating full-face revitalization.

THE PROCESS

the picosure treatment process at ethos

1. Comprehensive Consultation Your treatment begins with evaluation at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness. For tattoo removal, practitioners assess ink colors, density, age, and location. For skin concerns, they examine texture, pigmentation, and treatment goals.

2. Treatment Planning Based on your assessment, the Ethos team designs an appropriate protocol. Tattoo removal typically requires multiple sessions with specific intervals. Skin revitalization may follow different scheduling based on your concerns.

3. Treatment Session During treatment, the PicoSure handpiece delivers precise picosecond pulses to target areas. For tattoo removal, you may feel snapping sensations as ink particles shatter. Skin revitalization treatments using the Focus Lens Array feel gentler.

4. Immediate Response Tattoo-treated areas may show temporary whitening (frosting) followed by redness and swelling. Skin revitalization typically causes only mild redness that resolves within hours.

5. Healing Phase Your body requires time to process and clear shattered ink particles or to generate new collagen. Ethos provides specific aftercare instructions to optimize healing and results.

6. Treatment Series Tattoo removal often requires four to ten sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart, depending on ink characteristics. Skin revitalization may achieve goals in three to four treatments at four-week intervals.

TREATMENT ZONES

conditions treated with picosure

Tattoo Removal PicoSure excels at clearing tattoo ink, including difficult colors like blues and greens that resist traditional lasers. The photomechanical effect shatters ink particles into microscopic dust that your immune system clears naturally. For comprehensive tattoo removal information, visit our tattoo removal page.

Skin Revitalization The Focus Lens Array converts the laser beam into gentle pressure waves that activate cell signaling without burning tissue. This triggers new collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone, texture, and wrinkles.

Pigmentation and Sun Damage Age spots, melasma, and sun-induced discoloration respond to PicoSure's ability to target melanin deposits precisely. The shorter pulse duration reduces heat dispersion, minimizing risk to surrounding tissue.

Acne Scars The same collagen-stimulating mechanism that revitalizes skin also improves acne scarring. Multiple treatments progressively fill indented scars and smooth textural irregularities.
