Calgary's Pico Laser Facial Specialists
The PicoSure Laser is an innovative solution for skin rejuvenation and tattoo removal available at Beacon Dermatology in Calgary. This unique laser offers results comparable to more invasive treatments without extended downtime.
The Pico Laser Facial actively stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture and tone, Ideal for treating skin concerns, such as brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. It's an excellent option for busy professionals or anyone seeking quick recovery.
Administered by Certified Laser Technicians, the treatment involves a sensation similar to small elastic snaps and typically does not require numbing. Achieve optimal results with treatments tailored to your skin type and goals.
How Does It Work?
The PicoSure laser is a groundbreaking advancement in laser technology, noted by its use of ultra-fast picosecond (one-trillionth of a second) pulses. Unlike traditional lasers which rely on intense heat energy, PicoSure operates through a photomechanical effect. This means it delivers energy so rapidly that it creates a powerful pressure wave, capable of shattering targeted pigment particles, like tattoo ink or skin discolorations, into minuscule fragments.
What sets PicoSure apart is its dual-action approach. It's not just exceptional at dispersing pigments; it also prompts the skin's natural healing . This stimulation leads to increased production of collagen and elastin, vital components for youthful, resilient skin.
PicoSure is effective in treating a range of skin issues, from reducing wrinkles and fine lines to improving overall skin texture and tone.
This precise and gentle method results in fewer side effects and less downtime compared to traditional laser treatments, making PicoSure a preferred choice for patients seeking efficient and effective cosmetic skin solutions.
Pico Glow
Pico Glow is a gentler application of our Pico laser technology, designed to refresh overall skin tone and radiance with minimal downtime. We use it to target dullness, uneven texture, and early signs of sun damage, helping restore a brighter, more even complexion.

Brightening overall skin tone for a refreshed, radiant look. Softening the appearance of fine lines and mild texture irregularities. Minimal downtime, making it easy to fit into your regular routine. A comfortable option for patients looking for a lighter touch than more intensive Pico protocols.
