What Is PicoSure Focus?
PicoSure Focus is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser that uses ultra-short bursts of energy, delivered in trillionths of a second, to target skin concerns without heat damage. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on thermal energy, PicoSure Focus uses a patented Focus Lens Array to convert laser energy into gentle pressure waves that shatter pigment particles and activate the body’s natural cell signaling process to create new collagen and elastin.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every PicoSure Focus session is customized to your specific skin type and concerns. The laser settings are adjusted for your Fitzpatrick skin type, treatment area, and target condition. Each session takes just 15-30 minutes depending on the area, and you can apply makeup and return to normal activities immediately afterward.
How PicoSure Focus Works
PicoSure Focus delivers rapid results through a unique mechanism of action:
- The Focus Lens Array redistributes laser energy into microscopic, high-intensity treatment zones across the skin
- Ultra-short picosecond pulses shatter pigment particles into tiny fragments that the body naturally eliminates
- The pressure waves activate Cell Signaling, triggering the body to produce new collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin
- Because PicoSure uses energy rather than heat, surrounding tissue remains undamaged and recovery is immediate
- Over 3-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, patients see progressive improvement in pigmentation, texture, and skin clarity
What PicoSure Focus Treats
Brown Spots & Sun Damage
Unwanted brown spots, age spots, and sun damage on the face, neck, chest, and hands. PicoSure Focus shatters melanin pigment in trillionths of a second, allowing your body to naturally eliminate the fragments for clearer, more even-toned skin.
Melasma & Pigmented Lesions
Stubborn melasma patches and pigmented lesions that resist topical treatments. PicoSure Focus’s gentle pressure waves break up pigment without the heat that can worsen melasma, making it one of the safest laser options for this challenging condition.
Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Fine lines and wrinkles caused by collagen loss and sun exposure. The Focus Lens Array activates Cell Signaling to stimulate new collagen and elastin production, gradually improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Acne Scars
Depressed and textured acne scars on the face and body. PicoSure Focus remodels scar tissue by triggering new collagen production beneath the skin surface. Most patients see significant improvement after 3-5 sessions with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Freckles & Discoloration
Scattered freckles and skin discoloration on the face, neck, décolleté, arms, and hands. PicoSure Focus precisely targets excess pigment while leaving surrounding skin intact, producing a clearer, more uniform complexion.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and other areas. PicoSure Focus stimulates collagen remodeling within the stretch mark tissue, improving texture and blending the marks with surrounding skin over a series of treatments.
PicoSure Focus Technology
PicoSure Focus’s advanced picosecond technology sets it apart from traditional lasers:
Focus Lens Array
The patented Focus Lens Array redistributes laser energy into microscopic, high-intensity treatment zones across the skin. This creates a gentle pressure wave that activates Cell Signaling, the body’s natural process of producing new collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer skin without the thermal damage of traditional fractional lasers.
Picosecond Speed
PicoSure delivers energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), 100 times faster than nanosecond lasers. This ultra-short pulse duration shatters pigment into tiny particles that are more easily eliminated by the body, while minimizing heat buildup that damages surrounding tissue. This is why PicoSure is safe for all skin types and requires no downtime.
All Skin Types (I-VI)
PicoSure Focus is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI), including darker skin tones that are typically at higher risk for hyperpigmentation with traditional lasers. Because PicoSure uses pressure waves rather than heat, it can safely and effectively treat pigmentation, scarring, and skin rejuvenation concerns across all ethnicities.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
PicoSure Focus is remarkably comfortable. Patients rate the sensation approximately 2 out of 10 on the pain scale. Most describe it as a snap of a thin rubber band against the skin. The treatment is so gentle that many patients require no numbing at all, though topical numbing cream and a specialized cooling system are available for sensitive areas.
Dr. Avaliani offers three comfort options: topical numbing cream applied 20 minutes before treatment, a specialized air cooling system during the session, or no numbing at all (many patients choose this option). There is absolutely no downtime. Temporary redness and mild swelling typically resolve within one hour. You can apply makeup immediately and return to all activities.

PicoSure Focus NYC frequently asked questions
What is PicoSure Focus and how does it work?
PicoSure Focus is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second. The patented Focus Lens Array converts laser energy into gentle pressure waves that shatter pigment particles and activate Cell Signaling to produce new collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional lasers, PicoSure uses energy rather than heat, minimizing tissue damage and requiring no downtime.
How many PicoSure Focus sessions do I need?
Most pigmentation concerns (brown spots, sun damage, freckles) improve in 3-4 sessions. Acne scars typically require 3-5 sessions for optimal results. Sessions are spaced 2-4 weeks apart, or up to 8 weeks for darker skin types. Dr. Avaliani will design a treatment plan specific to your condition and goals.
Does PicoSure Focus hurt?
PicoSure Focus is remarkably comfortable. Patients rate the sensation approximately 2 out of 10. Most describe it as a snap of a thin rubber band. Many patients require no numbing at all. Dr. Avaliani also offers topical numbing cream and a specialized air cooling system for added comfort on sensitive areas.
Is there any downtime after PicoSure Focus?
There is absolutely no downtime. You may experience temporary redness and mild swelling that typically resolves within one hour, in some cases up to 24 hours. You can apply makeup immediately after treatment and return to all normal activities, including sun exposure (with sunscreen).
Is PicoSure Focus safe for dark skin tones?
Yes. PicoSure Focus is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI), including darker skin tones. Because it uses picosecond energy pulses rather than heat, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is significantly lower than with traditional lasers. Dr. Avaliani adjusts treatment parameters specifically for your skin type.
How is PicoSure Focus different from traditional lasers?
Traditional fractional lasers (like CO2) use heat to damage skin and trigger healing. PicoSure Focus uses ultra-short energy pulses that create gentle pressure waves instead of thermal damage. This means faster treatments, virtually no pain, no downtime, and safety for all skin types, including darker tones that are at higher risk with heat-based lasers.
Can PicoSure Focus treat melasma?
Yes. PicoSure Focus is one of the safest laser options for melasma because it uses pressure waves rather than heat. Traditional lasers can worsen melasma by triggering more melanin production through thermal damage. PicoSure’s gentle energy breaks up existing pigment without this risk, making it an effective option for this challenging condition.
Can PicoSure Focus be used on the body?
Absolutely. PicoSure Focus treats the face, neck, chest (décolleté), back, arms, hands, legs, and other areas. It is effective for brown spots, sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks, and pigmented lesions anywhere on the body. Treatment times vary from 15-30 minutes depending on the area.
Can I get PicoSure Focus in the summer?
Yes. Because PicoSure Focus uses energy rather than heat, it is significantly safer for summer treatment than traditional lasers. The risk of sun-related complications is much lower. However, Dr. Avaliani always recommends consistent sunscreen use before and after any laser treatment for optimal results.
When will I see results from PicoSure Focus?
Many patients notice improvement in skin clarity and pigmentation after the first session. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as the body eliminates shattered pigment particles and produces new collagen. Optimal results are achieved after the full recommended series of treatments.
