PICOFY: ADVANCED LASER SKIN REJUVENATION, PIGMENT CORRECTION & COLLAGEN RENEWAL

Picofy is a versatile treatment that can address many common skin concerns, including:

    •    Sun spots and age spots

    •    Freckles

    •    Melasma*

    •    Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

    •    Acne scars

    •    Fine lines and wrinkles

    •    Enlarged pores

    •    Uneven skin tone

    •    Benign pigmented lesions

    •    Unwanted tattoos

    •    Overall skin rejuvenation

Melasma is a chronic condition and often requires a customized treatment plan with maintenance treatments and medical grade skincare.

Unlike traditional lasers that primarily rely on heat, Picofy delivers laser energy in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). These ultra fast pulses create a powerful photomechanical effect that shatters pigment into microscopic particles. Your body’s immune system then naturally clears away these tiny pigment fragments over the following weeks.

The laser also creates controlled stimulation beneath the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This helps improve skin texture, acne scars, and fine lines while maintaining minimal downtime.

Picofy is highly effective for tattoo removal because its picosecond technology breaks tattoo ink into much smaller particles than many traditional nanosecond lasers. These smaller fragments are more easily removed by your body’s immune system.

The treatment works gradually, causing the tattoo to fade with each session rather than disappearing all at once. Different ink colors absorb laser energy differently, so some colors respond faster than others.

Generally:

    •    Black and dark blue inks respond the fastest.

    •    Red, orange, and purple often respond well.

    •    Green and turquoise may require additional treatments.

    •    Yellow and fluorescent colors can be the most challenging to remove.

Professional tattoos typically require more treatments than amateur tattoos because the ink is placed deeper into the skin and usually contains more pigment.

Many tattoos can be dramatically faded or completely removed, but results vary based on several factors, including:

    •    Tattoo age

    •    Ink colors

    •    Professional vs. amateur tattoo

    •    Ink depth and density

    •    Tattoo location

    •    Individual healing and immune response

Some tattoos may leave a faint “ghost image” or slight skin color change even after successful treatment. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what results you can realistically expect based on your specific tattoo

Most patients say tattoo removal feels similar to getting the tattoo, although treatments are much shorter. Many describe the sensation as a quick snapping or rubber band feeling against the skin.

For larger tattoos or more sensitive areas, topical numbing cream or other comfort measures may be used to improve the treatment experience.

Every tattoo is different, but most require 6 to 12 treatments, with some requiring more.

Factors that affect the number of treatments include:

    •    Tattoo size

    •    Ink color

    •    Professional vs. amateur application

    •    Tattoo age

    •    Location on the body

    •    Your body’s immune response

Treatments are typically spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body time to remove the fragmented ink between sessions.

Picofy is also an excellent option for improving:

    •    Pigmentation

    •    Acne scars

    •    Fine lines

    •    Uneven skin texture

    •    Large pores

    •    Overall skin rejuvenation

Many patients choose Picofy because it addresses multiple concerns during the same treatment series.

Most patients describe treatment as mild to moderately uncomfortable. The sensation is commonly compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

Depending on the treatment area and your comfort level, topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand.

Treatment length depends on the size of the area being treated.

    •    Small spot treatment: 10 to 15 minutes

    •    Full face: 20 to 30 minutes

    •    Larger body areas: 30 to 45 minutes

    •    Tattoo removal: 15 to 60 minutes depending on tattoo size

Treatment recommendations vary depending on your concerns.

Typical treatment plans include:

    •    Pigmentation: 1 to 3 treatments

    •    Acne scars: 3 to 5 treatments

    •    Skin rejuvenation: 3 to 4 treatments

    •    Tattoo removal: 6 to 12 or more treatments

Your provider will develop a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Pigmented lesions often begin improving within 1 to 2 weeks as the pigment naturally clears.

Improvements in skin texture and collagen production occur gradually over several months. Most patients notice continued improvement after each treatment.

Tattoo fading occurs gradually after every session, with noticeable lightening becoming more apparent throughout your treatment series.

Downtime is typically minimal.

You may experience:

    •    Mild redness

    •    Slight swelling

    •    A warm or sunburn like sensation

    •    Temporary darkening of pigmented spots before they naturally flake away

    •    Temporary whitening (frosting) immediately after tattoo treatment

Most patients return to normal daily activities within 24 hours.

For the best healing and results:

    •    Wear SPF 30 or higher every day.

    •    Avoid direct sun exposure.

    •    Avoid hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours.

    •    Use gentle skincare for several days.

    •    Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and harsh scrubs until instructed.

    •    Do not pick at flaking skin or any scabs that may develop after tattoo removal.

Picofy is designed to safely treat a wide range of skin types when performed by a properly trained provider. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether Picofy is right for you.

Yes. Depending on your goals, Picofy can be safely combined with other treatments to enhance your results.

Your provider may recommend pairing it with:

    •    Medical grade skincare

    •    Chemical peels

    •    Microneedling

    •    IPL or other laser treatments

    •    Neuromodulators and dermal fillers

Your treatment plan will be fully customized during your consultation.

Picofy may not be recommended if you:

    •    Are pregnant or breastfeeding

    •    Have an active skin infection, rash, or cold sore in the treatment area

    •    Have recently tanned skin or significant sunburn

    •    Are taking certain photosensitizing medications

    •    Have certain medical conditions that may affect healing

A consultation is required to determine if treatment is appropriate for you.

For facial treatments, most patients can apply mineral makeup after 24 hours if the skin is intact and irritation is minimal. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

Before your treatment:

    •    Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.

    •    Wear sunscreen daily.

    •    Avoid retinoids and exfoliating products for several days if instructed.

    •    Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or self tanner.

    •    Inform your provider of any new medications, recent procedures, or changes to your health history.
