PicoStar Scar Revision Services
Scar revision with the PicoStar laser is incredibly successful due to its short photoacoustic pulse length. It is the shortest on the market, boasting 300 – picoseconds.
This Picosecond pulse length alongside the gold standard Nd: YAG 1064nm wavelength offers dermal remodelling, reducing scar tissue and improving the texture of the skin tone.
It is safe on all skin types due the deep penetrating 1064nm laser wavelength.
How Does It Work & How Many Sessions Will I Need?
A fractional handpiece is used to offer LIOBS deep in the skin. LIOBS – standing for laser-induced optical breakdown. This creates a photoacoustic plasma release and new growth factors healing and repairing the skin from deep within.
Downtime is minimal as it only treats tiny micro-zones leaving the surrounding skin intact. For most scarring, a course of 4 sessions can improve the appearance of a scar by up to 80%. The Fractional Picosecond treatment can be repeated every 4-5 weeks.
For more complex scarring a course of 6 sessions may be needed. A consultation to assess the scar type and suitability to treatment is the first step and then a treatment plan will be explained during this consultation time.

Always a great service with the guys at Skin Renew London. Currently remove upper arm tattoo – 5 sessions down and going well.
Really friendly and knowledgeable team! No blisters and part of the chest piece is completely gone after our firs session. See you soon!
Jamie took time to explain the process and answer my questions. He was professional and I felt at ease. Treatment itself was more than the tattoo itself, but was done in stages and was very quick. I look forward to the progress in the coming weeks.
After having a terrible experience elsewhere I couldn’t compliment the experience here more highly. From start to finish it was worlds apart and I’d recommend the clinic and the staff to anyone needing this service. 100% make the effort to travel, the 2 hour journey was well worth it. Experienced staff with the highest end equipment.
I’m very happy with the treatment and my experience was very nice, very professional Recommend !!!
