Elegant, physician-led regenerative aesthetics for natural, radiant results — safe for all skin tones
At Serene Skin & Wellness Medspa in Fairfield, California, we are excited to offer the Bluecore Picore Pico Laser — a powerful, next-generation picosecond laser renowned for its precision in pigmentation treatment, tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, and more. Performed by our certified providers under the medical direction of Dr. Tina Singh, MD, this advanced pico laser technology perfectly complements our holistic, patient-centered approach.
Picore is our picosecond Nd:YAG laser — a next-generation platform that delivers energy in pulses measured in trillionths of a second. That speed matters. Instead of relying mainly on heat the way older Q-switched nanosecond lasers do, Picore creates a photoacoustic shockwave that shatters pigment and tattoo ink into dust-like particles. Your body then clears those fragments through the lymphatic system.
Two wavelengths let us treat both skin and ink with precision: 1064 nm for deeper pigment, darker inks, and richer skin tones, and 532 nm for superficial spots and warmer tattoo colors such as red and orange. Ultra-short 450-picosecond pulses and high peak power mean more of the energy lands on the target and less on the surrounding skin — which is why Picore is well suited to the diverse complexions we see in Fairfield and the greater Bay Area.
On our Laser page, Picore sits alongside our Q-switched work. Think of Picore as the finer, faster tool: often fewer sessions for the same concern, typically less thermal downtime, and a gentler profile for skin of color when settings are chosen carefully.
Picotoning is a gentle, full-face (or targeted-area) Picore treatment that brightens tone and refines texture without peeling the skin off. We use lower fluence and a larger spot so the laser tap-taps pigment throughout the complexion rather than punching a single dark spot. The same photoacoustic pulse that breaks tattoo ink also fragments excess melanin and quietly stimulates collagen.
This is the treatment patients book when they want clearer, more even skin — not a dramatic week of downtime. It pairs beautifully with ZO® Skin Health, Skinbetter Science, Ourself, VI Peel when timed correctly, Bela MD, and EltaMD sunscreen.
Picore’s 1064 nm wavelength reaches dermal pigment with relatively low melanin absorption at the surface, which is why it can be used more safely across Fitzpatrick types when an experienced provider sets the parameters. Each ultra-short pulse creates a pressure wave that shatters melanin clusters. Over the following days and weeks, your skin metabolizes that pigment. Repeat sessions stack improvement in brightness, pore appearance, and that “I slept well” clarity.
Melasma is a hormone- and heat-sensitive condition. We may use conservative Picore settings as one piece of a plan that also includes medical topicals, strict sun protection, and sometimes peels — not as a promise to erase melasma in one visit.
A Picotoning session is typically 15–30 minutes after cleanse and photos. Most people describe a warm snap or light rubber-band flick. Cooling and, when needed, PRO-NOX™ keep the visit comfortable. Skin may look pink or faintly bronzed for a few hours. Makeup is often fine the next day. Results build: many patients notice a brighter cast after 1–2 visits, with a series of 3–5 sessions spaced about 3–4 weeks apart for pigment, and maintenance two to four times a year.
Ink sits below the surface, locked in dermal cells. Older methods — cutting the tattoo out, sanding it down — traded ink for scars. Lasers changed that by targeting the ink itself. Even so, not every laser is equal. Traditional Q-switched devices break ink into relatively large chips and need many passes. Picore’s picosecond pulse shatters those particles smaller, so the immune system can carry them away more efficiently.
The handpiece delivers ultra-short pulses that the ink absorbs. The energy arrives so quickly that the particle cracks under pressure rather than slowly cooking. Those fragments are small enough for macrophages and lymphatics to clear over the following weeks. That is why you will see fading between visits, not only on the table.
Wavelength matching matters:
Some greens, teals, and light blues are stubborn on any two-wavelength Nd:YAG platform. We will tell you honestly at consultation if a color is likely to lighten rather than vanish, and whether a staged plan still makes sense.
After we examine the piece — age, depth, color mix, location, scarring, and prior treatment — we design a series. As a rule:
Many tattoos show meaningful fading in a handful of visits; complete clearance, when it is possible, is commonly a series spaced about 6–8 weeks apart so the immune system has time to work. We would rather under-promise and let the photos speak.
The sensation is often compared to a hot snap — similar in character to getting the tattoo, shorter in duration. We use cooling, topical anesthetic when appropriate, and PRO-NOX™ if you want extra ease. Most people leave the same day and return to desk work immediately.
Healthy adults who can protect the area from the sun and accept a series rather than a single miracle visit. Picotoning is often an excellent choice for skin of color when parameters are conservative. Tattoo removal is a commitment: fading is the rule, total invisibility is the hope we measure visit by visit. We do not treat over active infection, open wounds, or tanned skin, and we postpone lasers in pregnancy.
No. PicoSure® is a different manufacturer’s 755 nm alexandrite pico laser. Picore is a picosecond Nd:YAG platform with 1064 nm and 532 nm. Both are “pico” class. They are not the same machine, and we will not market another company’s brand as ours.
Many black and simple tattoos fade dramatically. Some colors and some depths leave a whisper. Amateur ink often surprises us in a good way; dense professional color can be humbling. Photos after each visit keep the plan honest.
Most patients rate it as mild. Cooling and optional PRO-NOX™ help. You can usually drive yourself home and go back to work.
Sometimes, if the sites do not overlap and your skin can handle it. We decide in the room, not on a menu.
Daily SPF, a medical-grade routine (ZO®, Skinbetter Science, or Ourself as mapped for you), and periodic maintenance sessions. Pigment returns if the sun is invited back in.
Pico lasers like the Bluecore Picore are valued for their photomechanical action, which reduces heat-related risks. What distinguishes us at Serene: Our certified providers take extra precautions for Fitzpatrick skin types V–VI (darker tones), using conservative settings, test patches, and personalized protocols. This careful, individualized care helps deliver safe, beautiful results.

We’re thrilled to bring MultiFrax, the next-generation fractional resurfacing technology, to Serene Skin & Wellness Medspa in Fairfield, California. As a physician-led practice serving our diverse Solano County community, we’re excited to offer this innovative solution that delivers visible skin renewal with a refined balance of results and recovery.
Skin resurfacing remains one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments, with over 500,000 procedures performed annually in the U.S. alone. The demand continues to grow as patients seek effective ways to address fine lines, texture, scars, and sun damage without major disruption to daily life. 
MultiFrax represents the evolution of fractional technology. This portable, dual-wavelength (1550 nm + 1927 nm) non-ablative fractional laser creates precise microthermal zones that stimulate collagen remodeling and cellular regeneration while minimizing unnecessary thermal spread to surrounding tissue. The result? Meaningful improvements in skin quality with greater comfort and typically shorter downtime than traditional fractional lasers. 
Both technologies stimulate collagen through controlled micro-injury, but MultiFrax is engineered for optimized energy delivery and patient experience:
Traditional fractional lasers (especially ablative CO₂ systems) can produce dramatic resurfacing but often involve longer healing, increased redness, and more intensive aftercare. MultiFrax balances strong clinical efficacy with a more refined recovery, allowing you to achieve noticeable improvements without extended time away from work, family, or your active Fairfield lifestyle. 
Clinical insights on fractional resurfacing show 40–60% improvement in skin texture, fine lines, and acne scarring after a series of treatments. Collagen remodeling continues for 3–6 months post-procedure, and dermal collagen density can increase up to 25–30% over time. Patient satisfaction for well-performed non-ablative fractional treatments often exceeds 80–90%, especially when results develop gradually and naturally. 
Choosing the right modality depends on your specific concerns, skin type, and downtime tolerance. Here’s how MultiFrax compares:
MultiFrax shines when you want meaningful resurfacing and collagen renewal for texture, scars, fine lines, and early laxity — without the prolonged recovery of aggressive ablative lasers or the more superficial focus of gentler options. It’s particularly well-suited for patients seeking progressive, natural-looking results that continue improving for months. 
MultiFrax effectively addresses a wide range of concerns, including:
It is customizable for various skin types and tones. At Serene Skin & Wellness, our experienced team (led by Dr. Tina Singh, MD) carefully tailors settings for safety and optimal outcomes, especially for Fitzpatrick IV and olive-golden skin tones common in our community. Non-ablative fractional technologies generally carry a lower risk of prolonged pigmentation changes when performed by skilled providers. 
Your Personalized MultiFrax Experience at Serene Skin & Wellness
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart (milder concerns may need 1–2; deeper scars or laxity may require 4–6). A full-face treatment is typically quick (often under 30 minutes). Results develop progressively as collagen builds, with continued improvement visible for 3–6 months after your series.
Downtime is generally minimal — expect some redness, mild swelling, or light flaking that often resolves within a few days (shorter than many traditional fractional options). You can usually return to normal activities quickly with proper sun protection and skincare.
Comfort is a highlight — the optimized energy delivery supports good tolerability. We use topical numbing and supportive care to keep you comfortable.
At Serene, we don’t just treat with technology — we personalize. Your plan may combine MultiFrax with complementary services we already love (microneedling boosters, PRP/PRF, peptides, or hormone optimization) for enhanced rejuvenation. Every treatment is grounded in our root-cause, holistic philosophy and physician oversight.
MultiFrax’s controlled, non-ablative approach contributes to a favorable safety profile with lower risk of infection or prolonged pigmentation issues compared to more aggressive ablative lasers. Energy settings are fully customizable to your skin type, concerns, and goals. Our team prioritizes safety, natural results, and your overall skin health — always.
Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture/tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, mild laxity, and overall skin quality. It excels at resurfacing and collagen stimulation with balanced recovery.
It uses precise microthermal zones and optimized dual-wavelength energy delivery for effective collagen remodeling with less collateral damage, shorter downtime, and improved comfort while delivering comparable rejuvenation benefits.
Minimal for most — redness, mild swelling, or light peeling typically lasts a few days (often less than traditional fractional or ablative options). Many return to daily activities quickly with sun protection.
Typically 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Mild concerns may improve with fewer; deeper issues may need more. Collagen continues building for months after each session.
Most patients find it tolerable with topical numbing. The technology is designed for improved comfort compared to more aggressive systems.
Yes — when performed by experienced providers with appropriate settings. Non-ablative fractional approaches generally have a lower risk of prolonged pigmentation changes. We customize every treatment for safety and efficacy.
Improvements in texture and tone often begin within weeks, with progressive enhancement as collagen remodels over 3–6 months. Results look natural and continue to improve.
