Picofy by Inmode
Precision Laser Technology for Clearer, More Even Skin
Picofy is an advanced picosecond laser platform by InMode, designed to treat pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, and unwanted tattoos with exceptional precision and minimal downtime. Unlike older laser technologies that rely primarily on heat, Picofy delivers energy in ultra-short pulses — trillionths of a second — creating a gentle photomechanical effect that breaks down pigment while protecting the surrounding skin.
The result: more targeted treatment, fewer sessions, and a faster recovery for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
How it works
Picofy’s picosecond pulses last just 300 trillionths of a second — far shorter than traditional nanosecond lasers. This ultra-fast energy delivery creates a pressure-wave effect that shatters pigment particles into microscopic fragments, which your body then naturally clears over the following weeks.
Because the treatment relies on this mechanical action rather than prolonged heat, there’s significantly less thermal impact on the tissue surrounding the treatment area. That means greater precision, added safety across more skin tones, and a more comfortable recovery.
Key technology highlights:
Ultra-short pulse duration — energy is delivered in trillionths of a second, minimizing heat buildup in the skin
Consistent, even energy delivery — a uniform beam profile spreads energy evenly across the treatment area rather than concentrating it in the center
Stable performance at every setting — a proprietary system helps keep the laser spot size consistent throughout treatment, even at higher speeds, supporting safer, more predictable outcomes
Multiple handpiece options — different applicators allow us to tailor each session to your specific skin concern and depth of treatment
What Picofy Can Treat?
Picofy is a versatile platform that we can customize to your specific goals. Common treatment areas include:
Sun damage & pigmentation — reduces excess melanin from UV exposure for a more even, radiant complexion
Melasma — targets stubborn pigment while minimizing the prolonged heat exposure that can trigger flare-ups in melasma-prone skin
Benign pigmented lesions — including age spots, sunspots, and seborrheic keratoses
Acne scarring — stimulates deeper collagen remodeling to smooth rolling, boxcar, and superficial scarring
Fine lines & uneven texture — improves tone, texture, and overall skin clarity
Tattoo removal — breaks down a wide range of ink colors, including darker and more resistant pigments that can be difficult to treat with older technology
Your provider will customize your treatment plan based on your specific skin type, concern, and goals during your consultation.
What to Expect?
Quick sessions performed comfortably in-office
No anesthesia required for most treatments
Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment
Gradual, natural-looking results as your body clears treated pigment and rebuilds collagen over the following weeks
Because Picofy is engineered for precision, treatments are designed to target only the area of concern — leaving the surrounding healthy skin undisturbed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Picofy treatment painful? Most patients tolerate Picofy well. Sensations vary by treatment area and concern, and your provider can discuss comfort options during your consultation.
How many sessions will I need? This depends on your specific concern — pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and tattoo removal all respond differently, and depth or density of the concern plays a role. Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions rather than a single visit. Your provider will map out a personalized plan at your consultation.
Is there downtime? Downtime varies by treatment type and settings but is generally minimal compared to older laser technologies. Your provider will walk you through what to expect for your specific plan.
Is Picofy safe for all skin types? Picofy is designed to treat a broad range of skin tones and types. A consultation will confirm whether you’re a good candidate for treatment.
How soon will I see results? Results build gradually as your body naturally clears treated pigment and remodels collagen. Many patients notice improvement over several weeks, with continued benefits developing over the following months.
Can Picofy be combined with other treatments? Yes — Picofy is often used alongside other aesthetic treatments or medical-grade skincare as part of a broader treatment plan.
