Understanding Pico Lasers: Why They Are Not All the Same
Not all Pico laser systems are the same when it comes to tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation. Many clinics offer “Pico” lasers, but the technology varies, affecting both safety and effectiveness. At Amendermis Laser Clinic, we rely on Cynosure PicoSure—the leading picosecond laser technology—ensuring safe, effective results for every treatment.
Pico laser systems aren’t all the same—some are less safe and less effective. This article explains what sets Cynosure PicoSure apart as the safest, most reliable option in the industry.
The Science Behind Pico Lasers: How They Work
Pico lasers use ultra-short bursts of energy, measured in trillionths of a second, to treat the skin. These bursts break unwanted tattoo pigments or damaged skin cells into tiny particles, which the body naturally eliminates.
While many lasers use heat to destroy pigments, picosecond technology relies on photomechanical pressure instead of thermal energy. This makes Pico lasers more effective while minimizing the risk of skin damage, such as scarring or pigmentation changes.
Not All Pico Lasers Are the Same: Key Differences
Many manufacturers offer their own versions of Pico lasers, but these devices vary in quality and safety. Below are some important differences to keep in mind.
Wavelength Variety
Cynosure PicoSure stands out by using multiple wavelengths to treat a wide range of pigments. It effectively targets even hard-to-remove colors, like blue and green.
Some lower-end Pico lasers lack versatility, making them less effective for multicolored tattoos or diverse skin types.
Pulse Duration and Precision
The precision of pulse duration is critical. Cynosure PicoSure delivers consistent, ultra-short bursts that break down pigments efficiently without overheating the skin.
In contrast, some cheaper alternatives may vary in pulse duration, increasing the risk of burns or ineffective treatment.
Safety for All Skin Types
PicoSure technology is safe for all skin tones, even darker skin, which traditional lasers can affect with pigmentation issues.
Not all Pico lasers have this capability, putting some clients at risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
