Picosecond Laser is the unparalleled breakthrough in laser technology. It delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin trillionths of a second. Picosecond pulse width is 100 times shorter than Q Switch nanosecond technology, enabling unmatched photomechanical impact for clearer skin with fewer treatments, less energy and without injuring the surrounding skin. The photomechanical impact shatters the target pigment into tiny, dust-like particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What makes Picosecond laser different from traditional lasers?
Picosecond technology uses ultra-short pulses (trillionths of a second) to create a photomechanical effect that shatters ink into dust-like particles, whereas traditional lasers use heat, which can be less effective and more damaging to surrounding skin.
❓ Is the tattoo removal process painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a small rubber band snapping against the skin. Because Picosecond lasers are faster and more efficient, the discomfort is generally lower than traditional methods.
❓ How many sessions are required for complete removal?
The number of sessions depends on the size, color, and depth of the pigment. However, Picosecond lasers typically require fewer treatments (often 3-5) compared to traditional Q-switched lasers.
❓ Is there any downtime after the treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or swelling for a few hours to a few days, but most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
❓ Can it treat all skin types and ink colors?
Yes, the multi-wavelength system (532nm, 755nm, 1064nm, 1320nm) allows it to effectively treat a wide range of ink colors and is safe for various skin types when adjusted correctly.
❓ What other skin conditions can this machine treat?
Beyond tattoo removal, it is excellent for treating freckles, sun damage, Nevus of Ota, acne scars, and performing "Carbon Peel" skin rejuvenation for a brighter complexion.
