Picosecond laser

Pico­se­cond lasers deli­ver their ener­gy in extre­me­ly short pul­ses, mea­su­red in tril­lionths of a second. The pul­se is so short that pig­ment par­tic­les shat­ter mecha­ni­cal­ly rather than burn.

Appli­ca­ti­on

The main area of use is the rem­oval of tat­toos and per­ma­nent make-up. Stub­born pig­ment spots and acne scars are also trea­ted with it.

Good to know

Becau­se hard­ly any heat is released into the sur­roun­dings, the risk of scar­ri­ng and pig­ment chan­ges is lower than with older devices. Com­ple­te rem­oval of a tat­too requi­res seve­ral ses­si­ons over one to two years, depen­ding on the colour and age of the tattoo.
