Pico Laser (or picosecond laser), is a non-ablative laser that is mainly used for pigmentation removal, acne scars, skin rejuvenation and brightening, and tattoo removal. The Pico Laser works in ultrashort picosecond laser pulses instead of nanosecond pulses in a Q-Switched Laser.
Pico Laser represents the cutting edge of a type of laser technology known as short-pulse lasers. These lasers are designed to “flash” incredibly quickly, in Pico Laser’s case in trillionths of a second. this rapid flashing minimizes the amount of heat and creates a photomechanical effect that’s highly effective in removing unwanted pigment. Pico Laser sends small, rapid bursts of energy deep into the skin to break up areas of hyperpigmentation.
