Petra Clinic uses the PICOPLUS laser for tattoo removal — a device described by the clinic as exclusive to the Czech Republic. At 450 picoseconds pulse duration, the PICOPLUS delivers energy in ultrashort bursts that shatter tattoo ink particles via photomechanical (acoustic) action rather than the slower photothermal heating used by older nanosecond Q-switched lasers. Smaller ink fragments are cleared more rapidly by the immune system, meaning fewer sessions are typically needed to achieve significant fading or full removal. The system handles multi-colour and older, professionally applied tattoos that were previously considered difficult to treat. A free consultation is required first to assess the tattoo and estimate the number of sessions needed.
About this treatment
The PICOPLUS laser at Petra Clinic operates at a pulse duration of 450 picoseconds — approximately 100 times shorter than the nanosecond pulses of conventional Q-switched Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers. This ultrashort pulse duration creates a predominantly photomechanical (photoacoustic) rather than photothermal mechanism of action: the rapid energy delivery causes ink particles to fracture under a shock-wave-like pressure gradient rather than to absorb…
