Unprecedented innovation

in laser technology.

PicoSure is the world’s first and only picosecond

aesthetic laser: a breakthrough method to remove

tattoos and benign pigment lesions.

This unprecedented innovation in laser technology

delivers ultra-short bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths

of a second, enabling unmatched photomechanical

impact or patented PressureWave™. PicoSure’s

PressureWave™ shatters the target without injury to the

surrounding skin. Even dark, stubborn blue and green

inks, as well as previously-treated, recalcitrant tattoos

can be removed.

Picosure: for better clearance with less fluence and

fewer treatments.

Picosecond vs. nanosecond technology

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.

Shattering the past. Revealing the future.

Q-Switched

Picosecond

Ultra-short Pulse Duration is the Difference

• Picosecond pulse width is 100X shorter than nanosecond technology.

• only ultrashort pulse durations trigger photomechanical effect.

• With this short pulse width, half the fluence is required

compared to Q-Switched nanosecond lasers.

BEFOREAFTER 1 Tx PICOSURE FOCUS

The Focus lens Array harnesses the power-ful photomechanical effect of the PicoSure and precisely directs it to a specific depth in the skin.

• Each beam treats a small area of skin with arrays of highly focused energy, up to 20 times that of a standard PicoSure pulse.

• Surrounding tissue is treated with lower fluence for a gentler background effect.

The FOCUS lens Array provides a safer and more effective way to revitalize the appearance of the skin.
