THE PHYSICS OF PICOSECONDS
A picosecond is one trillionth of a second - one thousand times shorter than a nanosecond. This pulse duration fundamentally alters laser-tissue interaction. Energy is deposited faster than it can dissipate as heat, producing a predominantly photoacoustic rather than photothermal effect. Tattoo ink particles and melanosomes undergo explosive fragmentation into significantly smaller particles than nanosecond lasers achieve.
Smaller fragments are cleared more efficiently, translating into faster fading in fewer sessions. Reduced thermal diffusion means less collateral damage, greater comfort, faster recovery, and improved safety for darker skin types.
CLINICAL ADVANTAGES
Picosecond lasers demonstrate superior clearance of challenging ink colours - reds, oranges, yellows, greens - that resist nanosecond treatment. For pigmentation disorders including melasma, the lower thermal load reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Multiple wavelength options - 1064nm, 532nm, 755nm - address the full spectrum of tattoo inks and pigmented lesions from a single platform.
