Melasma Picosure Pro Series

Picosure Pro is one of the most widely used pigment lasers at Cutis Dermatology. This provides unparalleled pigment clearance for melasma patients, with results in as little as one treatment. Best outcomes are achieved with a series of 4 sessions.

Melasma treatment with the Picosure Pro is super gentle & fast, with each session taking 10-15 minutes to perform. Settings are determined by your treating dermatologist or nurse.

Most melasma cases will require a series of 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. You should notice an improvement within one session, however continue to improve with subsequent sessions. 

*Melasma is a medical condition. We can improve most, but not all cases of melasma. 10 to 15% of cases are resistant to medical therapy, including lasers.

Our clinic provides competitive Picosure Pro packages with settings predetermined by our dermatologists & senior laser nurses. As a guide- 

Single treatment Picosure laser (melasma settings) $440

Picosure Pro treatment packages: 4 sessions for $1248

There is a significant difference as to how we deliver pico laser energy for melasma, in contrast to skin rejuvenation. It is all in the settings, much like a pressure washer. 

For melasma, the settings are low, using a combination of different beam deliveries. It’s like the washer in spray mode. Skin rejuvenation is different as this requires much more energy & passes, much like a pressure washer with a ‘focused’ jet of water. Melasma settings do not require numbing gel, whilst rejuvenation settings do. 

Our dermatologists & nurses are one of the most experienced pico operators in Australia, having worked with pico lasers for over 8 years. We not only perform the procedure, but teach pico resurfacing nationally & internationally. Our practice has produced numerous peer reviewed publications on the use of pico lasers. 

Dr Davin Lim & Allison Webb are key opinion leaders for Cynosure with their Picosure system & Candela, with their Picoway laser. We employ special settings on these devices to ensure the best results for our melasma patients.

At Cutis Dermatology we employ over 40 laser & energy devices. This ensures that you are receiving the most technologically advanced rejuvenation for your skin.

Though we offer Cosmelan, Dermamelan & Melapeels, Picosure Pro has many advantages over chemical peels, namely-

• Better results with lasers
• Less costs compared to Cosmelan – Dermamelan
• No downtime (peels require 4-10 days of recovery)
• Better remission rate with Picosure Pro

For hormonal causes of pigmentation such as melasma, Picosure Pro provides superior outcomes compared to other pico lasers such as Picoway. Picoway is best for other types of pigmentation such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, whilst Fraxel is best for pigmentation secondary to sun damage & exposure.
