How Does the PicoSure Laser Work to Remove Tattoos?

According to the British Association of Dermatologists, one third of the population who get tattoos end up regretting them – with men more likely to regret their choices than women.

For those who remained unhappy with their new body art, the gold standard for removing tattoos was traditionally Q-Switched lasers with nanosecond pulse durations. However, clinical research has found that the PicoSure laser with picosecond pulse durations can get rid of unwanted tattoos faster than ever before.

So how exactly does the PicoSure laser work to remove tattoos, and how can we be so sure that it’s the best option available on the market today?

The Simple Answer

Before we get into the science of how PicoSure works to eliminate tattoo pigments, let’s look at it from a simpler point of view.

PicoSure is an FDA-approved technology that uses incredibly short laser pulses (one trillionth of a second in length). To hit the ink particle beneath the skin with such a huge amount of pressure, that the pigment shatters into minuscule dust-like particles. These are then absorbed by the immune system and eliminated by the body.

Compared to traditional lasers using nanosecond technology, PicoSure is often regarded to be more effective on stubborn tattoos. And can require fewer treatments to achieve a complete, finished result. We’ll cover the evidence on this later on the post.

The Scientific Answer

Today, PicoSure lasers are regarded by experts to be the “gold-standard” solution for removing tattoo pigments quickly and effectively, using picosecond pulses. The PicoSure is an “Alexandrite Laser”. This means it can produce a specific light wavelength within the infrared spectrum of 755nm.

The PicoSure laser utilises shorter wavelengths known as Pressure WaveTM, which penetrate less than longer wavelength in biological tissue. Creating a photo-mediated and light-chromophore interaction referred to as the “photo-acoustic effect”.
