PicoSure Pro Singapore
Picosecond Laser for Pigmentation, Acne Scars & Skin Rejuvenation
Looking for PicoSure Pro treatment in Singapore?
At Emberwood Aesthetics, we have the 755nm Alexandrite PicoSure Pro® picosecond laser to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, PicoSure Pro delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses that create a predominantly photomechanical effect, fragmenting unwanted pigment while stimulating collagen remodelling with minimal thermal effect on the surrounding skin. This allows treatment of both pigmentation and skin quality with little downtime for many patients. At Emberwood Aesthetics, every PicoSure Pro treatment begins with a personalised consultation. Dr Jolenda will assess your skin concerns, determine whether PicoSure Pro is the most appropriate treatment for your condition, and recommend an individualised treatment plan based on your skin type, diagnosis, and aesthetic goals.
What is PicoSure Pro?
PicoSure Pro is an advanced 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser designed to treat pigmentation and improve overall skin quality. By delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses together with proprietary Platinum Focus™ Lens technology, PicoSure Pro can target unwanted pigment while helping to improve skin quality.What Can PicoSure Pro Be Used For?
Depending on your skin concerns and clinical assessment, PicoSure Pro may be considered as part of a personalised treatment plan for:
PicoSure Pro for Pigmentation
-
Melasma is a chronic pigment disorder characterised by brown or grey-brown patches on the face. PicoSure Pro may be incorporated into a personalised melasma treatment plan alongside medication, medical-grade skincare, and sun protection where appropriate, and our doctor will be able to advise at the consultation.
-
Flat brown spots caused by cumulative sun exposure and skin ageing. PicoSure Pro targets excess pigment to help improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin and promote a more even complexion.
-
Small, well-defined brown spots that become darker with ultraviolet (UV) exposure. PicoSure Pro can reduce the appearance of freckles while preserving the surrounding skin.
-
Also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, age spots develop after years of cumulative sun exposure. PicoSure Pro helps fragment unwanted pigment for gradual clearance by the body's natural processes.
-
Brown marks that remain after acne, eczema, insect bites or skin injury. PicoSure Pro may help improve residual pigmentation once the underlying inflammation has been adequately controlled.
PicoSure Pro for Skin Rejuvenation
-
PicoSure Pro may stimulate collagen remodelling within the skin, which may help improve the appearance of early fine lines and overall skin quality over time.
-
By promoting collagen remodelling, PicoSure Pro may help improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores in selected patients.
-
PicoSure Pro may support collagen remodelling to improve overall skin texture and skin quality with minimal downtime.
-
By improving overall skin quality and addressing selected pigmentation concerns, PicoSure Pro may contribute to a brighter and more even-looking complexion.
PicoSure Pro for Acne Scars
The proprietary Platinum Focus™ Lens Array creates microscopic zones beneath the skin that stimulate collagen remodelling without ablating the skin surface.
-
PicoSure Pro stimulates collagen remodelling beneath the skin to improve the appearance of selected atrophic acne scars, particularly when incorporated into a personalised combination treatment plan.
-
Certain tattoos may be suitable for removal via PicoSure Pro. PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to fragment tattoo ink into smaller particles, allowing the body's immune system to gradually remove them over multiple treatment sessions.

What Are the Benefits of a 755nm Alexandrite Picosecond Laser?
Compared with many traditional nanosecond lasers, a 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser offers several potential advantages for the treatment of pigmentation and skin rejuvenation.
Minimal Downtime
The ultra-short picosecond pulse duration is designed to minimise thermal effects on surrounding tissue, allowing most patients to resume their usual daily activities shortly after treatment.
Less heat compared with many traditional lasers
Rather than relying primarily on heat, picosecond technology delivers energy over an extremely short duration to create a predominantly photomechanical effect. This allows pigment particles to be fragmented while minimising thermal injury to surrounding tissue.
Suitable for Multiple Skin Concerns
Depending on the clinical indication and doctor’s advice, a 755nm Alexandrite picosecond laser may be incorporated into treatment plans for pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and overall skin rejuvenation, which may be targeted during a session.
Clinically proven collagen stimulation
In addition to treating unwanted pigment, PicoSure Pro coupled with the Platinum Focus™ Lens may stimulate collagen remodelling, which may contribute to improvements in skin texture, fine lines and selected atrophic acne scars over time.
Brighter, More Even-Looking Skin
By improving selected pigmentation concerns while supporting overall skin quality, treatment may contribute to a brighter and more even-looking complexion.
How Are Picosecond Lasers Different from Traditional Nanosecond (Q-Switched) Lasers?
Both picosecond lasers and traditional nanosecond (Q-switched) lasers are used to treat pigmentation by delivering laser energy that targets excess pigment within the skin. The main difference lies in how quickly the energy is delivered.
Traditional Q-switched lasers deliver energy over nanoseconds, whereas PicoSure Pro® delivers energy over picoseconds, making each laser pulse approximately 1,000 times shorter.
Because the energy is delivered over a much shorter duration, picosecond lasers produce a greater photomechanical effect, fragmenting pigment into smaller particles while reducing reliance on thermal energy. This approach is designed to minimise heat transfer to surrounding tissue while effectively targeting unwanted pigment.
For many patients, particularly those with Asian skin, minimising unnecessary thermal injury is an important consideration, as excessive inflammation may increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Choosing the Right Pigmentation Laser Is About More Than the Device
Treatment outcomes depend on far more than the laser technology alone. Successful pigmentation treatment requires:
An accurate diagnosis
Appropriate patient selection
Individualised treatment planning
Conservative treatment settings where appropriate
Good sun protection
Multiple treatment sessions when clinically indicated
No single laser is suitable for every type of pigmentation. A personalised consultation remains essential to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your diagnosis, skin type and treatment goals.
Why Choose Emberwood Aesthetics for PicoSure Pro?
Personalised, Doctor-Led Laser Treatment
At Emberwood Aesthetics, every PicoSure Pro treatment plan begins with a comprehensive consultation. Rather than recommending the same laser protocol for every patient, Dr Jolenda carefully assesses your diagnosis, skin type, treatment goals, and underlying cause of your skin concern before developing an individualised treatment plan.
Our approach focuses on:
Accurate diagnosis before treatment selection
Evidence-based treatment planning
Conservative laser settings tailored to your skin type
Combination therapies where clinically appropriate
Natural-looking outcomes that respect your individual facial characteristics
Many skin concerns, particularly conditions such as melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, often benefit from more than laser treatment alone. Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may also incorporate medical-grade skincare, prescription medications where appropriate, or complementary in-clinic procedures to achieve the best possible outcome.
