Duration
25 min
PicoSure Pro picosecond laser tattoo removal targeting multiple ink colours at 532 nm, 755 nm, and 1064 nm wavelengths. Ultra-short picosecond pulses generate photoacoustic pressure waves that shatter ink particles more effectively than nanosecond Q-switch lasers, with fewer sessions and less thermal collateral damage. Three to six sessions are typically required, spaced six to eight weeks apart. Available at Dr. Michele Green's Manhattan cosmetic dermatology clinic.
About this treatment
Dr. Michele Green's PicoSure Pro tattoo removal programme uses the Cynosure PicoSure Pro — a multi-wavelength picosecond laser platform — to fragment tattoo ink pigments via photoacoustic rather than primarily photothermal energy, the mechanism that distinguishes modern picosecond devices from older nanosecond Q-switched systems. Conventional Q-switch lasers deliver energy in nanosecond pulses (billionths of a second), generating thermal energy that heats…
