Erase unwanted tattoos with PicoSure, the most advanced laser treatment available for safe and effective tattoo removal. PicoSure targets unwanted ink more effectively than ever before, successfully removing difficult ink colors, such as blues and greens, as well as previously treated tattoos. Fewer treatments, faster recovery time, and greater results are achievable with PicoSure’s groundbreaking picosecond technology.
Picosecond pulse width is 100X shorter than nanosecond technology, and PicoSure tattoo removal often requires fewer treatments than traditional Q-Switched lasers. PicoSure patients and doctors have reported better clearance of the tattoo with an improved recovery time.
Traditional nanosecond lasers predominately rely on photothermal action, delivering heat to the pigment and surrounding tissue. PicoSure takes advantage of PressureWave Technology to shatter the target ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
PicoSure’s ultra-short pulse duration goes beyond photothermal action creating an intense photomechanical impact, patented PressureWave™, resulting in greater disruption of the target for better clearance with fewer treatments, less fluence and without injury to the surrounding skin. Only ultrashort pulse durations trigger photomechanical effect. Even dark, stubborn blue and green inks, as well as previously-treated, recalcitrant tattoos can be removed.
