Picosecond is a new type of laser that lets dermatologists remove tattoos more completely than ever before. The main difference between Picosecond laser tattoo removal and other digital removal methods is speed. Older types, such as the Q-Switch, release energy in a single nanosecond – that’s a billionth of a second. You probably think that’s fast, but Super Second is even faster. It can release the same amount of energy as a Q-Switch laser in a picosecond, which is a trillionth of a second. It’s the fastest laser in the world of dermatology. The faster the laser, the less heat is produced. The excess heat from slower lasers can damage the skin and lead to scarring, but the Picosecond laser is so lightning fast that it doesn’t burn skin tissue. The picosecond laser is also able to break ink particles into smaller pieces than a Q-Switch, which means faster ink absorption, shorter treatment times, and more complete removal.

Advantages of Picosecond Laser
Fast treatment
Picosecond laser reduces tattoo and pigment removal from 5-6 times to 1-3 times, dramatically reducing treatment and recovery time with fast and significant effectiveness.

Short recovery time
For recovery time, Picosecond laser machines need 3~6 hours after treatment, but traditional lasers need 2~3 days after treatment.
Safe and comfortable
With precise positioning of the target tissue, Picosecond laser can remove all kinds of pigment and tattoo in a less short pulse, reducing damage to the skin.

Double Pulse

Delivering two sequential pulses within a single lasing cycle, instead of one. This new energy delivery mode extends common Picosecond laser technology benefits by enhancing the photoacoustic impact as well as adding a thermal effect.
