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
- SPF, wound care protocol, and avoiding irritants
