How does a PicoSure® treatment work?
During treatment with PicoSure®, ultra-short (trillionths of a second) pulses target ink particles with PressureWave™ technology—a pressure so powerful, the ink shatters into tiny dust-like particles. These microscopic particles are more rapidly absorbed and eliminated naturally by the body. PicoSure offers less downtime compared to traditional methods, making it a convenient option for those seeking effective results without extended recovery periods.
Unlike traditional tattoo lasers, which rely on heat to destroy tattoo ink, PicoSure® delivers a photomechanical impact called PressureWave™ that effectively shatters ink into tiny particles. This can mean better clearance of the tattoo and fewer treatments compared to conventional laser tattoo removal. The treatment addresses various patient concerns, including different skin types and conditions.
Additionally, PicoSure® can improve skin complexion and address damage caused by sun exposure.
