Safe and effective laser tattoo removal using a new type of picosecond laser with two wavelengths.

This article shows the effective clearance and safe treatment for a novel Picosecond Laser with shortest pulse width in treatment sessions with 4 patients. Conclusion: Picosecond lasers with very short pulse length can enable a more effective and painless treatment than nanosecond Lasers for black and colored tattoos and in some cases, it is possible to clear tattoos with fluences of a lesser scale than with nanosecond domain pulses. Our cases show better clearance in less treatment sessions compared to other lasers with which we have gained experience in our practice. The MOA (Mechanism of action) allows a safe and effective treatment with lower fluences, as a result decreasing the thermal energy transfer to surrounding tissues and minimizing the risk of scarring and reducing the patient’s pain.
