What is a Picosure Pro?

The PicoSure Pro is a state-of-the-art laser device in New York that delivers 755nm energy in picoseconds, providing an advanced solution for skin revitalization. This innovative technology targets unwanted pigment, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores with remarkable precision and minimal downtime. Unlike traditional lasers, the PicoSure Pro’s rapid energy delivery minimizes thermal damage to the skin, making it a safer and more practical option for achieving a clear, youthful complexion.

Remove Unwanted Tattoos

The PicoSure Pro laser also makes your tattoo removal even more accessible. The 755nm wavelength can target black, blue, and green tattoo inks. In comparison, the optional 532nm wavelength effectively treats “sunset colors”—red, yellow, and orange—which are typically hard to correct. You’ll also be able to:

Tailor treatments using variable spot sizes
Use turbo mode to treat recalcitrant tattoos with shortened pulse width better
Treat black ink in darker skin type patients using the 1064nm delivery

What’s the First Step?

The first step in your PicoSure Pro journey with Dr. Lao is to schedule a consultation at our New York City practice. You will discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals during this initial appointment.

We will then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

What to Expect on the Day of a Picosure Pro Treatment

On the day of your PicoSure Pro treatment with Dr. Lao, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience. After all, glowing, renewed skin is just around the corner. Upon arrival, you will be warmly greeted by our friendly staff, ensuring you feel relaxed and at ease. Dr. Lao will meet with you to discuss your treatment plan and address any last-minute questions or concerns you may have.

Before the procedure begins, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to enhance your session with a pain-free approach. Dr. Lao will then carefully adjust the PicoSure Pro laser settings to target your skin concerns, including unwanted pigment, wrinkles, acne scars, pores, or tattoos.

You may experience a slight warming sensation as the laser works its magic. This innovative process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, replacing damaged cells with fresh, rejuvenated skin.

Throughout the procedure, Dr. Lao will ensure your safety and comfort and make necessary adjustments to optimize your results. Depending on the size and complexity of the treatment area, your session may last 30 to 60 minutes.

After your PicoSure Pro treatment, you may experience some mild redness or swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. There is minimal downtime associated with PicoSure Pro, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately following your session.

I feel very blessed and fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet such a talented young Doctor. I am 57 year old female. In December 2014, I had a facial procedure done. My eyelids top & bottom and face was lifted. I am 100% satisfied with the results. People see me and they say I look 10 years younger. My confidence level is off the charts. I can’t say enough about Dr. William Lao. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and caring. We had open communication through emails & telephone calls. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Lao, considering I interviewed 8 different plastic surgeons. Dr. Lao, is a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School which is one of the finest institutions in the world. Dr. Lao I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

I have uneven eyelids result from a previous double eyelid surgery years ago. One day I decided to have it corrected. Prior to meeting with Dr. Lao, I was on the verge of giving up the idea of surgery since the first Doctor I saw told me that my situation is not treatable. Consultation (which is free) with Dr. Lao was easy and pleasant. Dr. Lao told me that my problem can be easily solved with minimum invasive suture technic. That is exactly what I had hoped for!! As a plastic surgeon, I think Dr. Lao possesses a great deal of aesthetic sense, as well as good medical skills. At the meeting, he pointed out that my upper eyelids are sunken, a fat grafting procedure would enhance my appearance, so we decided to have both procedures done at the same time. I am so glad I did it, because the surgery had transformed my eyes. A couple of weeks after the surgery, the eyes looking natural, the result is beyond anything I had expected. I love my new eyes! This entire process is so easy. I am so grateful!

Dr. Lao’s attention to my hopes for an improved appearance resulted in just the outcomes I desired. I asked for a forehead lift which he executed beautifully. At his suggestion, I also received an eyelid enhancement wherein the area was refreshed with fat from my abdomen to create a more youthful appearance. The results are amazing.

Further, he went above and beyond when I hit a snag in arranging for post procedural care and helped me arrange for a home attendant. His care was thorough, thoughtful and sensitive to my individual needs. I highly recommend his services.
