PicoSure Laser Treatment for All Kinds of Acne Symptoms

Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re dealing with active breakouts, redness, dark spots, or deep acne scars, finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming. That’s where PicoSure laser technology comes in—offering a powerful, non-invasive solution that helps target all stages of acne damage.

At New Age Spa, we use PicoSure laser facials to treat acne symptoms safely and effectively for all skin tones. Available at our clinics in Montreal, Laval, Saint-Leonard, and DDO (West Island), it’s one of the most advanced laser solutions on the market for clear, even-toned skin.


What Is PicoSure Laser?

PicoSure is a picosecond laser, meaning it delivers energy in ultra-fast bursts that:

  • Shatter pigmentation and acne scarring without damaging surrounding skin

  • Stimulate collagen production to smooth uneven texture

  • Even out skin tone by targeting red and brown marks

  • Shrink pores and improve skin clarity

Unlike harsh ablative lasers, PicoSure is non-ablative, making it safer, gentler, and suitable for all skin tones, including Fitzpatrick types IV to VI.

How PicoSure Treats Different Acne Symptoms

🔴 1. Active Acne (Inflammatory or Hormonal)

PicoSure can help manage active acne by:

  • Reducing oil production

  • Killing acne-causing bacteria

  • Improving circulation and cellular turnover

Combined with proper skincare, PicoSure helps shorten the life cycle of breakouts and reduce inflammation.


⚫ 2. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (Dark Marks)

After a pimple heals, it often leaves a brown or red spot. PicoSure targets these pigment clusters with laser energy that breaks them apart, allowing your body to naturally clear them.

Results:

  • Brighter skin

  • Fewer dark spots

  • More even skin tone


💥 3. Atrophic Acne Scars (Ice Pick, Boxcar, Rolling)

For deeper acne scars, PicoSure triggers collagen remodeling, which:

  • Fills in indented scars

  • Improves skin texture

  • Softens pitted areas over time

While not a 100% eraser, it’s one of the most effective non-surgical solutions available today. We highly recommend to combine it with Microneedling for Atrophic acne scar types.


What to Expect During a PicoSure Acne Treatment

  1. Consultation to assess skin type and acne history

  2. Cleansing and prep before treatment

  3. Laser session (10–20 minutes for the full face)

  4. Mild redness or warmth for a few hours—no downtime

  5. Visible brightening and clarity within days

A full treatment plan may include 3–6 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal results.


Is It Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes. PicoSure is FDA- and Health Canada–approved, and unlike older lasers, it doesn’t overheat or damage melanin, making it safe for darker skin tones when performed by certified professionals.

At New Age Spa, we customize every session to suit your skin tone, texture, and sensitivity.
