Pico Second Laser

What Is Pico Second Laser?

It is an advanced laser technology that creates a photomechanical effect with picosecond-scale pulse durations, micro-fragments pigment particles, and minimizes thermal damage in the surrounding tissue.

Indications

  • Pigmented lesions: Sun/age spots, freckles
  • Melasma and PIH (with selected protocols)
  • Tattoo removal (choice of wavelength in multi-color/multi-layer tattoos)

Technology And Parameters

  • Wavelength and fluence are adjusted according to the target pigment color and depth
  • Balance of efficacy/safety with spot size and number of passes

Application And Protocol

  • Sessions: 2–6 sessions; varies depending on type of lesion/tattoo
  • Interval: 3–8 weeks; longer in tattoo treatments

Recovery And Care

  • Short-term erythema/edema; crusting may occur in tattoo treatments
