The PicoCure Pigmentation Removal Treatment uses 4 types of wavelengths (1064nm, 650nm, 585nm and 532nm), which can get rid of all sorts of pigmentation of different depths and colours. Types of pigmentation that it can get rid of include shallow and mid-depth dark spots (e.g. freckles and sunspots), deep dark spots (e.g. melasma, chloasma, butterfly rashes and naevus zygomaticus) and even stubborn superficial lipomatous naevus.

A traditional laser pigmentation treatment uses heat to get rid of melanin, which also causes pain and injuries to the skin in the process. Unlike a traditional C6 or first generation picosecond laser treatment, the PicoCure Pigmentation Removal Treatment uses 4 types of wavelengths that are safer, more effective and more suitable for solving Asian skin pigmentation problems.

The PicoCure Pigmentation Removal Treatment first uses nanosecond lasers to break large pieces of melanin into smaller pieces, before using picosecond lasers to shatter the smaller pieces into tiny grains that can then be excreted from your body. This treatment can get rid of virtually all types of pigmentation, and because it does not generate harmful heat unlike traditional laser treatments, it does not overheat, irritate skin or cause other problems like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scabs.
