Pico Legend

This is a picosecond laser that emits extremely short pulses of light that is measures in the trillionths of a second.

These ultra-shot pulses allows the targeting of specific pigments with damage to the surrounding tissue.

How it works

Light absorption - When the laser is directed at the skin the pigmented that is targeted absorbs the light energy

Photothermal effect - The absorbed energy causes the pigment to heat up rapidly

Fragmentation - The sudden heat and mechanical energy causes the fragment to break into smaller fragments

Body Absorption - The body's immune system naturally absorbs and removes the smaller fragment's 

Key Characteristics of pico lasers include:

• Ultra-short pulses
• High peak power 
• Minimal thermal damage

Key advantages of picosecond lasers:

• Precision: The ultra-short pulses allow for precise targeting of the pigment, minimizing damage to surrounding skin.
• Speed: Treatments are often faster compared to traditional laser methods.
• Effectiveness: Picosecond lasers are generally more effective at breaking down stubborn pigments, especially in tattoos.
• Less Pain: The shorter pulses can reduce discomfort during treatments.
