PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment | ADC Bandung

PicoSure Pro delivers energy in picoseconds rather than nanoseconds, breaking up pigment mainly through a photomechanical effect with less heat to the surrounding skin. This helps lower the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which matters for Asian skin. Your Sp.DVE dermatologist will advise whether PicoSure Pro or another laser suits your concern.

PicoSure Pro is used for hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, post-acne dark marks, fine lines, uneven skin tone and tattoo removal. It is also FDA-cleared for Nevus of Ota and Hori's nevus. Your dermatologist confirms the diagnosis first, because the type and depth of pigment determine the plan.

PicoSure Pro can be used across a wide range of skin types, including darker and Asian skin tones, because its picosecond pulses produce less heat than nanosecond lasers. No laser is risk-free, so our Sp.DVE dermatologist screens your skin and adjusts the settings for every session.

The treatment involves delivering precise laser energy to target skin imperfections, stimulating collagen production and rejuvenation.

Sessions start with the use of numbing cream for 45 minutes, then proceed to the laser treatment which lasts under 30 minutes. Patients can also opt out on the numbing cream.

Most clients describe the sensation as mild, often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Numbing cream can be applied if needed.

Some patients say the pain level is around 3-4 out of 10.

Stop retinol and AHAs 3–7 days before your session, and avoid sun exposure and tanning. Let us know if you have recently had skin boosters, Botox or fillers, as this may affect the treatment plan. If you have severe active acne, our dermatologist may treat it first.

Downtime is usually minimal. Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically settles within hours; more intensive settings can cause light peeling for a few days. Following the aftercare advice from your doctor, especially daily sunscreen, helps protect your results.

Before: Avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and harsh skincare like night creams

After: Use gentle skincare, avoid direct sun exposure, and apply sunscreen diligently to protect treated areas. Do not use make-up for 3 days after the treatment.

PicoSure Pro is used to fade and remove tattoo ink over several sessions. How many sessions you need, and how fully the ink clears, depends on the tattoo's size, colours, depth and age, so your doctor will give a realistic estimate after assessing it.

Yes, PicoSure Pro can be combined with other treatments, such as peels, hydrating facials, or skin boosters to enhance results. Consult your dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

Laser treatment is generally postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please let our team know, and your dermatologist can suggest a suitable time to start PicoSure Pro.
