PICOFY® by InMode: Advanced Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Albuquerque, NM

Clearer, smoother, more radiant skin is a goal for many people—but pigmentation, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging can make it difficult to achieve with skincare alone.

At Health Horizons in Albuquerque, NM, we offer PICOFY® by InMode, an advanced picosecond laser designed to precisely target pigment and other skin concerns while supporting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

PICOFY represents a new generation of laser technology, delivering ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds—trillionths of a second. This allows treatment energy to target specific concerns with precision while helping minimize unwanted heat to the surrounding tissue.

The result? A treatment designed to help reveal clearer, smoother, more even-looking and luminous skin with minimal downtime.

What Is PICOFY®?

PICOFY by InMode is an advanced picosecond laser platform that uses ultra-short bursts of energy to address a variety of pigmentation and skin-quality concerns.

Unlike traditional laser treatments that rely heavily on heat, picosecond technology creates a photomechanical effect. The rapid energy delivery can break pigment into smaller particles while also stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative response.

PICOFY can be customized to address different concerns, including:

• Sun damage and sun spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Age spots
• Acne scars
• Skin texture
• Melasma
• Certain benign pigmented lesions
• Tattoo pigmentation

At Health Horizons, we customize treatment settings based on your skin type, concerns, and desired results.

How Does PICOFY Work?

PICOFY delivers laser energy in incredibly short pulses—measured in picoseconds.

Think of it like precision technology designed to target a specific problem without unnecessarily heating the surrounding skin.

Pigment Is Broken Down

The laser energy targets pigment within the skin and breaks it into tiny particles.

Your body can then naturally process and clear these fragmented pigment particles over time.

Collagen Production Is Stimulated

PICOFY can also create controlled energy effects within the skin that encourage the body’s natural collagen-remodeling process.

As collagen production increases, the skin may gradually appear smoother, firmer, and more refined.

Skin Renews Over Time

As the skin responds to treatment, pigmentation can fade and overall tone and texture can become more even.

Results develop progressively rather than changing your appearance overnight.

What Skin Concerns Can PICOFY Treat?

Sun Spots & Hyperpigmentation

Years of sun exposure can leave behind unwanted brown spots and uneven pigmentation.

PICOFY can precisely target excess pigment to help create a more even-looking complexion.

Uneven Skin Tone

If your skin looks dull, blotchy, or uneven, PICOFY can be incorporated into a customized skin-rejuvenation plan to improve the appearance of overall tone and luminosity.

Acne Scars & Texture

PICOFY can be used to support collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring and uneven skin texture.

Depending on the type and severity of scarring, your provider may recommend PICOFY alone or combine it with other treatments for a more comprehensive approach.

Melasma

Melasma can be particularly challenging because aggressive treatments can sometimes make pigmentation concerns worse.

PICOFY may be considered as part of a carefully customized treatment plan for patients dealing with melasma. Your provider will evaluate your skin and determine the safest and most appropriate approach.

Tattoo Removal

PICOFY’s picosecond technology can also be used to target tattoo pigment. Different wavelengths can be selected depending on the colors and characteristics of the tattoo.

Tattoo removal typically requires multiple treatments, and results vary depending on factors such as ink color, tattoo depth, location, age of the tattoo, and individual response.

PICOFY for Skin Rejuvenation

PICOFY isn’t only about treating individual brown spots.

Its ability to deliver controlled energy can also make it a valuable option for patients who want to improve the overall appearance of their skin.

A customized treatment plan may help address:

• Uneven pigmentation
• Dull-looking skin
• Rough texture
• Visible signs of sun damage
• Acne scarring
• Overall skin radiance
• The appearance of fine lines and skin aging

The goal is not to dramatically change your appearance. Instead, PICOFY can help your skin look clearer, smoother, more even, and refreshed.

Why Choose PICOFY®?

Precision

Picosecond pulses allow your provider to deliver highly controlled energy to targeted areas of concern.

Minimal Downtime

PICOFY is designed to minimize unnecessary thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Depending on the treatment performed, patients may experience temporary redness, sensitivity, or other mild effects, but downtime is generally limited.

Customized Treatments

Every person’s skin is different. Your provider can customize the wavelength, energy, and treatment approach based on your skin type and specific concerns.

Collagen Support

In addition to addressing pigment, PICOFY can stimulate the skin’s natural remodeling response, supporting improvements in texture and overall skin quality over time.

PICOFY + Other Treatments at Health Horizons

One of the benefits of PICOFY is that it can be incorporated into a broader aesthetic treatment plan.

Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend combining PICOFY with other treatments or skincare to address multiple aspects of skin health.

For example, someone dealing with pigmentation and signs of aging may benefit from a combination approach that addresses both surface discoloration and overall skin quality.

At Health Horizons, our goal is to look at the whole picture—not simply treat one spot or one symptom.

What to Expect at Your PICOFY Appointment

Your treatment begins with a consultation at Health Horizons.

We’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical and skincare history, and determine whether PICOFY is appropriate for you.

Before Treatment

Your provider will give you personalized instructions before your appointment. Depending on your skin and treatment plan, you may need to temporarily modify certain skincare products or avoid excessive sun exposure.

Protecting your skin from UV exposure is especially important when treating pigmentation.

During Treatment

PICOFY treatments are customized to your specific concern and treatment area.

You may feel a mild snapping, tingling, or warming sensation during treatment. Topical numbing may be recommended depending on the treatment being performed and your comfort level.

After Treatment

Temporary redness, sensitivity, swelling, or darkening of treated pigmentation can occur depending on the treatment settings and concern being addressed.

Your provider will give you detailed post-treatment instructions, including recommendations for skincare and sun protection.

Following these instructions is an important part of achieving optimal results.

When Will You See Results?

Results vary depending on what we’re treating.

Some patients may notice changes in pigmentation relatively soon after treatment, while other improvements develop gradually as the body clears pigment particles and collagen remodeling occurs.

Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on your goals and the condition being treated.

Your provider will discuss your expected timeline during your consultation and create a treatment schedule designed specifically for your skin.

Is PICOFY Right for You?

PICOFY may be a great option if you’re looking to improve the appearance of:

• Sun spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Acne scars
• Skin texture
• Melasma
• Certain pigmented lesions
• Tattoo pigment
• Dull or lackluster skin

However, laser treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all. Certain medical conditions, medications, active skin infections, recent tanning, and other factors may affect whether PICOFY is appropriate.

That’s why we recommend beginning with a consultation so your Health Horizons provider can evaluate your skin and create a safe, personalized treatment plan.
