PicoSure Pro Focus
A picosecond-laser approach using the Platinum Focus lens for skin revitalisation. Explore texture and acne-scar concerns separately from PicoV, which adds a vascular laser.
PicoSure ProYour care, step by step.
Assess the target
Identify the concern, skin or body area and suitability.
Plan the sequence
Agree the technology, timing, recovery and expected course of care.
Planned treatment
Carry out the agreed approach and provide the specific aftercare.
Recover & review
Follow aftercare and review the response before any further treatment.
What to plan for
Your skin assessment determines whether the Focus lens approach is suitable and what preparation, recovery and review to plan for.
The sequence, session count and intervals are agreed individually. This is a pathway, not a fixed calendar.
An informed choice.
What the evidence can tell you — and where its limits matter.
Sources checkedEvidence & expectations
A fractional optic changes how picosecond energy is delivered. Evidence on acne-scar texture should not be presented as identical evidence for tattoo clearance or treatment of every brown spot.[1]
A prospective 20-person study of a 755 nm picosecond laser with a diffractive optic reported improvement in acne-scar texture. It was small and not a randomized comparison with another treatment. Its findings do not guarantee the same outcome with every lens, setting or PicoSure Pro indication.[2]
Preparation & recovery
Recent tanning, previous pigment changes and your usual skin care affect planning. Arrange sun protection and product-specific aftercare; a treatment setting or study schedule should not be copied as a personal prescription.[3]
Risks & limitations
Pigment can darken or lighten after an inflammatory procedure. Melasma can recur and needs an ongoing management plan; a laser is not a universal cure for brown patches. Establish the diagnosis before selecting the device.[3]
Compare your options
Compare a pigment-targeted treatment with a fractional texture treatment. Acne scars, tattoos and melasma are different problems; improving one does not establish effectiveness for the others.[2][3]

How we use evidence
A controlled trial compares interventions in defined groups; an uncontrolled cohort cannot, alone, establish causality. A review depends on the quality of its included studies. We distinguish these sources from manufacturer information and identify when findings do not directly apply to the platform or protocol.
The date records when sources were checked for this guide. It is not a statement of individual clinical review, product authorisation or confirmation of the clinic’s available configuration.
This guide supports a conversation with your clinician. It does not determine your suitability or replace individual aftercare instructions.
