ULTRA-SHORT PULSE TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Picosecond Laser Technology

Professional ultra-short-pulse laser technology for tattoo ink and selected pigment applications, with configurable wavelengths and treatment parameters.

Technology Overview

Understanding the interaction between ultra-short laser pulses and targeted tattoo or pigment particles.

Conceptual illustration. Laser–tissue interaction varies with wavelength, pulse duration, fluence, spot size and target characteristics.

Picosecond-Range Pulse Delivery

Picosecond lasers deliver energy in pulses measured in trillionths of a second. Short pulse duration can generate a strong photoacoustic effect that fragments targeted particles while limiting the time available for heat to diffuse into surrounding tissue.

How Picosecond Laser Works

A controlled process from energy delivery to gradual biological clearance.

1

Ultra-Short Pulse Delivery

The selected wavelength and operator-controlled parameters deliver energy to the assessed target.

2

Photoacoustic Fragmentation

Rapid energy deposition generates mechanical stress that can fragment tattoo ink or selected pigment particles.

3

Gradual Clearance

The body gradually processes fragmented particles over time; response and session requirements vary by individual.

Key Technology Features

Engineering characteristics available across selected picosecond laser configurations.

Ultra-Short Pulses

Picosecond-range delivery supports high peak power over a very short pulse duration.

Controlled Thermal Spread

Short energy-delivery time is designed to limit thermal diffusion compared with longer pulses.

Configurable Wavelengths

Available wavelength options support different assessed tattoo colors and pigment targets.

Professional Controls

Adjustable fluence, spot size and frequency support provider-directed treatment protocols.

Available Wavelengths

Wavelength availability and cleared indications must be confirmed for the selected device.

532 nm

For Warm-Colored & Superficial Pigments

Commonly used for selected red, orange and brown tattoo pigments, as well as certain superficial pigmentation concerns. Treatment suitability depends on professional assessment.

1064 nm

For Dark Tattoo Pigments*

Commonly used for black, blue and other darker tattoo pigments. Its deeper penetration and lower melanin absorption can support treatment across a broader range of assessed skin tones.

1320 nm Carbon Peel*

For Carbon-Assisted Skin Treatments

Designed for carbon-assisted facial treatments that support the appearance of clearer, smoother skin and help manage visible oiliness. Availability depends on the device configuration.

ENGINEERED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE

Precision, Control and Clinical Workflow

Professional treatment planning depends on tattoo composition, pigment characteristics, skin tone, medical history, wavelength selection and device-specific parameters. Appropriate training, eye protection and aftercare protocols are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is picosecond laser technology?

It is laser technology that delivers energy in picosecond-range pulses. The resulting photoacoustic effect can fragment selected tattoo ink or pigment particles.

Is picosecond technology always better than nanosecond technology?

Not for every target or client. Outcome depends on tattoo composition, pigment, wavelength, fluence, spot size, pulse characteristics, operator technique and individual response.

How many treatment sessions are required?

Session requirements vary considerably with ink color, density, depth, tattoo age, skin tone, treatment history and individual clearance response.

Is every wavelength suitable for every skin type?

No universal setting is appropriate for every client. Wavelength and treatment parameters require device-specific guidance and professional assessment.
