PicoSure® works by delivering bursts of photomechanical light laser energy to target your problem areas without causing harm to the surrounding skin. The laser penetrates the sub-layers of your skin breaking apart the aging support structure. As the damaged tissue is broken up and reabsorbed into the body it stimulates the production of collagen and new cell growth.
