The Pico Nd:YAG laser is an advanced aesthetic technology that combines the power of an Nd:YAG crystal with ultra-short picosecond pulses—measured in trillionths of a second. This innovative approach allows the laser to effectively target unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production with minimal heat, making treatments safer, more comfortable, and highly effective across a wide range of skin tones.
By breaking pigment into extremely small particles, the Pico Nd:YAG laser allows the body to naturally clear treated areas, resulting in clearer, smoother, and more rejuvenated skin.
How It Works
Picosecond Pulses: The laser delivers energy in extremely short bursts, creating a strong photoacoustic (photomechanical) effect rather than relying on heat. This allows pigment to be shattered without damaging surrounding tissue.
Nd:YAG Technology: The Nd:YAG crystal produces multiple wavelengths—most commonly 1064 nm and 532 nm—allowing the laser to target pigment at different depths and address a wide range of colors and concerns.
Pigment Fragmentation: Tattoo ink and excess melanin are broken down into dust-like particles that are gradually removed by the body’s natural lymphatic system.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Tattoo removal, including multi-colored and stubborn blue or green ink
- Treatment of freckles, sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Improved skin texture, tone, large pores, dullness, and fine lines
- Reduction in the appearance of acne and surgical scars
- Safer option for darker skin tones due to reduced thermal damage
What to Expect
During Treatment: Mild redness, swelling, or temporary petechiae (tiny red spots) may occur. These effects are typically short-lived.
Aftercare: Patients should use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), follow a gentle skincare routine, and avoid excessive heat or intense workouts for a short period following treatment.
