Cronulla Skin Sanctuary offers Pico Laser Resurfacing, a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that delivers high peak power with ultra-short 300 picosecond pulses. This creates a non-thermal, photoacoustic effect designed to target unwanted pigment and stimulate the skin’s deeper layers to support changes in texture and tone.

This treatment uses different wavelengths, adjustable depths and specialised handpieces. The fractionated beams delivered through the VMLA and DOE handpieces create LIOB (Laser Induced Optical Breakdown) in the dermis and epidermis. This forms micro-spaces within the skin, which may stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. 

As with all cosmetic treatments, individual experiences and recovery times vary. A consultation will help assess whether Pico Laser suits your skin concerns, and we will guide you on the results you may reasonably expect.
