Picosecond laser treatment for tattoo removal, stubborn pigment, and melasma. Physician-supervised at Lakewood Med Spa — in the same picosecond-laser class as PicoSure, with 755nm, 1064nm, and 532nm options, at a better value.
Individual results vary. Consultation required to determine candidacy.
PicoSure is a brand name for a picosecond laser manufactured by Cynosure. It fires at 755nm in trillionths of a second, shattering pigment by photomechanical pressure rather than heat. That distinction matters clinically: less thermal energy means less risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is why picosecond lasers became the preferred approach for tattoo removal and for melasma in darker skin types.
Our PicoLaser is in the same picosecond-laser technology class and includes a 755nm wavelength, plus 1064nm and 532nm options that extend the range of ink colours and pigment depths that can be targeted in one platform. It works differently from PicoSure in pulse duration, spot sizes, energy settings, and published evidence, and individual results vary.

Book with Dr. Kohli →Both are picosecond lasers that clear pigment photomechanically rather than by heat. Our platform covers the 755nm wavelength PicoSure uses and adds 1064nm and 532nm, which widens the range of ink colours and pigment depths treatable on one device. Settings, protocols and results still differ between systems and by patient.
It depends on ink colour, density, depth, age and your skin type. Black ink generally clears in fewer sessions than greens and light blues. Dr. Kohli will give you a realistic estimate after seeing the tattoo rather than a number over the phone.
Picosecond lasers are generally preferred for darker skin types because the short pulse limits heat and therefore the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your skin type is assessed at consultation and settings are chosen accordingly.
Melasma is chronic and relapsing, and no device cures it. Picosecond treatment is used as part of a maintenance plan alongside sun protection and topical therapy. We will be straightforward with you about what to expect.
