Cynosure Picosure laser uses ultra-short pulse durations, known as pico pulses, which goes beyond a photo-thermal reaction to a photo-mechanical reaction. This pressure-wave created by the photoacoustic effect results in greater disruption of the target chromophore which could be:
- Collagen for skin rejuvenation
- Pigment for pigmentation removal
- Tattoo in for tattoo removal
The technology amplifies the pressure wave delivered to the target tissue leading to fantastic treatment options and is particularly useful for stubborn ink such as recalcification tattoos
Picosecond laser technology combined with the focus lens array leads to stunning skin rejuvenation treatments. It utilises a closely packed array of diffractive lenses and harness and redistributes each pico pulse for unprecedented photomechanical effect
A nanosecond laser relies primarily on a photothermal action to remove the target chromophore while still creating an acoustic shock to disrupt particles. There is also heat delivered to surrounding tissue.
PicoSure utilises an acoustic Pressure Wave Technology to shatter the target ink into tiny particles that are easily eliminated by the body.
Ultra-short Pulse Duration Is the Difference:
- Picosecond pulse is 100X shorter than nanosecond technology so more powerful
- Ultrashort pulse durations trigger photomechanical effect not photothermal
- Short pulse width means higher peak powers are generated meaning half the fluence is required compared to Q-Switched nanosecond lasers.
