Picosecond laser refers to the time that light stays in the skin after it hits the skin - picosecond level, or in more academic terms, the duration of the light pulse (pulse width).
Since laser beauty is based on selective photothermal effect to achieve the purpose of treatment: it only acts on the target tissue (melanin) without causing obvious damage to other intact skin tissues.
Therefore, the shorter the pulse width (the faster the speed), the less light energy will diffuse to the surrounding intact tissues, the more energy will be concentrated in the melanin, the stronger the effect on the melanin, and the less damage to the surrounding intact tissues.
All kinds of spots (freckles, chloasma, sun spots, age spots), birthmarks (coffee spots, nevus of Ota, brown-blue nevus), tattoos, acne marks, acne scars, wrinkles
In short, it is a faster (picosecond level), more precise, more effective and safer treatment method for skin pigmentation problems.
