The rapid flashing minimisers the amount of heat and creates a photomechanical effect that is highly effective in removing tattoo ink and unwanted pigmentation. Using cutting edge physics and medical science, the PicoSure engineers have set up a new system to assist medical practitioners in treating patients.
Instead of building up heat, the system delivers energy at a rapid speed that will cause tiny particles formed by pigment and tattoo ink to vibrate and shatter – without burning the surrounding tissues. In short, less heat equals less tissue damage and discomfort.
