About the PicoSure Pro
PicoSure Pro fires 755 nm laser energy in pulses of 500 to 900 picoseconds. A picosecond is a trillionth of a second. Cynosure calls the device the world’s first 755 nm picosecond laser and states that the delivery is quick enough to spare the skin from high thermal damage while it targets unwanted pigment.
The platform works through two lenses. The flat lens breaks up pigment and tattoo ink, and the Platinum Focus lens array concentrates the energy for skin revitalisation. At MED YU MED the device is used for pigmentation, melasma, tattoo and permanent makeup removal, and skin renewal.

How the two lenses work
With the flat lens, the picosecond pulse hits pigment or ink and, in Cynosure’s description, shatters it into tiny sand-like particles that the body absorbs and removes. The pulse is short, so the energy reaches the target before much heat spreads into the surrounding skin.
The Platinum Focus lens array changes the pattern. It concentrates energy into small zones inside the epidermis called laser-induced optical breakdowns, or LIOBs. Each one creates a pressure wave that expands into the dermis, and Cynosure states that this response increases collagen and elastin production without the thermal side effects or downtime of other lasers.
On tattoos, Cynosure states that 755 nm targets black, blue and green inks, while red, yellow and orange respond to the optional 532 nm wavelength. The clinician reviews each tattoo before treatment. Treatment plans, session counts and prices are on the PicoSure treatment page.

Frequently asked questions about the device
What is the PicoSure Pro?
It is a 755 nm picosecond laser made by Cynosure in the United States. It delivers energy in pulses of 500 to 900 picoseconds, through a flat lens for pigment and tattoos or through the Platinum Focus lens array for skin revitalisation.
What is the difference between the flat lens and the Focus lens?
The flat lens breaks pigment into tiny particles that the body clears, and its FDA clearance covers pigmented lesions in skin types I–VI. The Platinum Focus lens array creates small pressure-wave injuries inside the epidermis that stimulate collagen and elastin; its clearance covers acne scars and wrinkles in skin types I–IV.
Is the PicoSure Pro cleared for melasma?
Cynosure states that the PicoSure Pro is the only picosecond device FDA-cleared to treat melasma pigment, nevus of Ota and Hori’s nevus. Melasma still behaves unpredictably, so the clinician assesses the skin first and plans conservative settings.
Which tattoo colours can a 755 nm picosecond laser treat?
According to Cynosure, the 755 nm wavelength targets black, blue and green inks, and the optional 532 nm wavelength treats red, yellow and orange. The clinician reviews your tattoo in person before recommending treatment.
