What actually is a PICO laser?

You’ve probably seen it all over our socials and a number of different articles online but what is the PICO laser treatment?

Newly launched at the clinic, the Cutera enlighten SR PICO laser is an advanced treatment with a photo-acoustic effect. This treatment can remove tattoos, treat pigmentation, and provide a rejuvenation effect.

Please tell us more about the PICO laser.

We’d love to! The Enlighten laser is a PICO system that can used for dermatological and cosmetic operations. It produces picosecond laser pulses (10^-12 seconds), making it suitable for tattoo removal, pigmentation therapy, and skin rejuvenation. The Enlighten laser system has several significant features and benefits, including:

• Skin Rejuvenation: Picosecond lasers, such as the Enlighten system, significantly stimulates collagen and elastin formation. This can enhance skin texture, reduce fine wrinkles, and give a youthful look.
• Tattoo Removal: Among the Enlighten laser’s principal applications is tattoo removal. It can handle various tattoo ink colours and types, including complex colours like green and blue. The picosecond pulses work well in fragmenting the ink particles, allowing the human system to eliminate them organically.
• Pigmentation Treatment: The Enlighten laser may cure various pigmentation disorders, including age spots, sun spots, and melasma. It can help minimise hyperpigmentation and enhance skin tone.

How does this treatment work?

This cutting-edge treatment involves industry-leading technology. Key elements of this technology include:

• Multiple Wavelengths: Some Enlighten laser systems provide dual wavelengths that can be altered to meet various treatment demands. Different wavelengths are appropriate for addressing multiple colours and skin issues.
• Shorter Treatment Time: Because picosecond lasers produce ultra-short pulses, treatment periods are generally reduced, making it more convenient for patients.
• Picosecond Laser Technology: The Enlighten laser employs picosecond laser technology, known for its ability to break down pigment particles and stimulate collagen formation while transferring little heat to the surrounding tissues. This can result in better treatment outcomes and fewer adverse effects.
