Pico Fractional Intense delivers the same trusted HandPICO picosecond micro-fractional technology as our standard Pico Fractional treatment—but at double the energy output. By increasing the fluence and spot density, Pico Fractional Intense creates a higher concentration of microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating a more robust collagen and elastin response. This two-fold boost in power makes the treatment especially effective for deep acne scars, pronounced wrinkles and severe sun damage, all while maintaining the safety and controlled fractional delivery that minimises downtime.
Pico Fractional Intense is specifically indicated for more severe skin concerns:
At Skin Renewal, our team of qualified medical doctors and therapists oversee every Pico Fractional Laser Intense treatment. During your initial consultation, our doctors conduct a comprehensive skin assessment, reviewing your medical history, skin type, lifestyle factors, and aesthetic goals to design a truly personalised protocol. Whether adjusting energy settings for safety in darker skin tones or tailoring your treatment cadence to optimise healing and collagen remodelling, your plan is guided by evidence-based medical judgment.
This doctor-led approach ensures superior results and minimises risks, giving you confidence that your skin is in experienced hands from consultation through every follow-up session.
PICO Fractional Intense is available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics.
Intense uses higher energy and denser spot patterns than Pico Fractional for deeper tissue remodelling—ideal for stubborn scars and sun damage.
Expect slightly longer redness and mild crusting for up to five days, but most patients find it manageable with proper care.
Yes. Many combine it with PRF or RF microneedling for synergistic anti-ageing and scar-reduction effects.
Patients with active melasma, uncontrolled cold sores, or recent use of isotretinoin should defer to gentler settings, as well as individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6.
