Picosecond laser technology operates by emitting ultra-short pulses of laser energy, typically in the picosecond range (one trillionth of a second). These rapid pulses deliver high peak power, which allows for the precise targeting and fragmentation of pigments and ink particles in the skin. The ultrafast pulses cause a photomechanical effect, breaking down the pigments into tiny particles that are more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body's natural processes. This method minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissues, making picosecond lasers highly effective for tattoo removal, pigment treatment, and skin rejuvenation with reduced risk of side effects and shorter recovery times.
