Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore a personalized PicoSure treatment plan.

What Is PicoSure?

PicoSure is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin. These rapid pulses create a photoacoustic effect that shatters pigment into tiny particles, which are then naturally cleared by the body.

In addition to addressing pigmentation, PicoSure also stimulates collagen production, helping improve skin texture and tone. At SOMA, it is used as a versatile treatment for both pigment correction and overall skin refinement.

PicoSure Recovery

Recovery after PicoSure treatment is minimal compared to more aggressive laser procedures. In the initial phase, mild redness or slight swelling may occur in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Some patients may experience a slight darkening of pigment before it fades as the body processes the treated areas.

Gradual Results

Results develop over a series of treatments as pigmentation is reduced and collagen production improves skin texture. SOMA emphasizes follow-up care to ensure consistent and optimal outcomes.

A Balanced, Technology-Driven Solution

PicoSure offers a precise approach to skin improvement, focusing on both pigment correction and collagen stimulation.

This dual benefit allows for more comprehensive results compared to treatments that address only one concern.

At SOMA, PicoSure is often incorporated into a broader skincare plan, helping maintain clear, balanced skin over time.

Why Choose SOMA?

SOMA offers PicoSure treatment within a medically guided, integrated care model focused on precision and long-term skin health. Experienced providers carefully evaluate each patient to determine the appropriate settings and treatment plan.
