What concerns can the ultra-performance picosecond laser address for you?

As the global beauty market continues to expand, demand for safe and effective tattoo removal solutions has surged, making laser tattoo removal devices standard equipment in modern aesthetic clinics. Their role extends beyond efficiently addressing pigmentation issues; through technological evolution and expanded application scenarios, they have reshaped the competitive landscape and consumer experience within the medical aesthetics industry.

Ultra-performance picosecond lasers represent an advancement over conventional picosecond lasers (pulse width ≤ 10⁻¹² seconds) by optimising pulse duration (further reduced, with some achieving femtosecond levels ≤ 10⁻¹⁵ seconds), energy density, and spot patterns to enhance the ‘optomechanical effect’. Its core advantage lies in delivering more precise fragmentation of target tissues (such as pigments and collagen) with reduced thermal damage. Clinical applications span multiple dimensions including pigment concerns, skin texture improvement, and scar repair.

Compared to traditional ablative lasers (such as CO₂ lasers), it offers a shorter recovery period (scabbing occurs 3-5 days post-treatment, with scabs shedding within one week) and a lower risk of hyperpigmentation, making it suitable for treating extensive acne scarring across the face.

The specific functions are as follows:

1. Precise Resolution of Diverse Pigmentation Concerns

The ‘photomechanical effect’ of ultra-high-performance picosecond lasers directly shatters pigment particles into nanoscale fragments (far smaller than the micron-sized fragments produced by conventional nanosecond lasers). These are more readily metabolised and expelled by the skin's phagocytes. With minimal thermal impact, this significantly reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH or ‘rebound darkening’), establishing it as one of the gold standards for addressing pigmentation issues.

（1）. Removal of Superficial Pigmentation (Freckles, Sunspots, Age Spots, etc.)

The ultra-short pulse width of the laser penetrates to the epidermal layer, precisely shattering epidermal pigment particles. These fragments are then shed through the stratum corneum or eliminated via lymphatic metabolism. Gradual fading of pigmentation becomes visible within 1-2 weeks post-treatment. Compared to traditional lasers (e.g., Q-switched lasers), fewer treatment sessions are required (typically 1-2), recovery time is shorter (only mild post-treatment redness, subsiding within 1-3 days), and there is minimal risk of damaging surrounding healthy epidermal cells. This makes it suitable for exposed areas such as the face.

（2）. Improving deep pigmentation (lentigines, nevus of Ota, cheekbone nevi, etc.)

The laser penetrates to the dermal layer, where the photomechanical effect shatters pigment particles. These fragments are then phagocytosed by dermal macrophages and metabolised via the bloodstream (a gradual process taking 1-3 months to show results). Traditional nanosecond lasers require high energy to break down deep pigmentation, increasing the risk of dermal thermal damage (e.g., scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Ultra-performance picosecond lasers, owing to their extremely short pulse width, shatter pigments without requiring high energy, reducing thermal damage risk by over 60%. They are suitable for deep-seated and stubborn pigmentation issues.

（3）. Highly effective tattoo removal (particularly coloured tattoos)

The ultra-short pulse width covers a broader spectrum of pigment absorption, enabling it to shatter not only black particles but also effectively target coloured particles (such as green, blue, and red). The resulting fragments are smaller, accelerating metabolic clearance. Compared to conventional picosecond lasers, the Ultra-Performance Picosecond's ‘multi-wavelength adaptability’ and ‘high-energy precision’ reduce the number of tattoo treatment sessions required (e.g., black tattoos from 5-8 sessions to 3-5 sessions; colour tattoos from 8-12 sessions to 5-7 sessions), whilst minimising the risk of scarring or skin indentation.

2. Enhancing Skin Texture for ‘Firmness, Smoothness and Reduced Wrinkles’

The ultra-performance picosecond laser stimulates collagen regeneration in the dermis through a ‘non-ablative mode’, achieving ‘non-invasive skin rejuvenation’ without damaging the epidermis. This makes it ideal for those seeking skin texture improvement.

（1）. Pore Reduction and Roughness Improvement

Laser energy targets the dermis, activating fibroblasts through ‘microthermal stimulation’ to promote synthesis of collagen (types I and III) and elastic fibres. This tightens dermal structure, thereby diminishing pore size (particularly addressing ‘round pores’ caused by excessive sebum or ‘oval pores’ resulting from photoaging).

Within 1-2 months post-treatment, pores visibly diminish, skin texture becomes smoother, and sebum production may decrease due to collagen-induced firming.

（2）. Reducing fine lines (particularly dynamic lines and superficial static lines)

Fine lines caused by collagen loss (such as periorbital dry lines, superficial forehead lines, and early nasolabial folds). Collagen regeneration fills structural gaps in the dermis, enhancing skin elasticity to ‘plump’ fine lines. Simultaneously, the laser mildly improves hydration in the stratum corneum, alleviating dryness-induced fine lines.

（3）. Improving uneven skin tone and brightening complexion

On one hand, it shatters residual pigment particles in the epidermis (such as post-acne marks and dull keratin), reducing dullness. On the other, collagen regeneration enhances microcirculation, increasing skin transparency for a more even, luminous complexion.

3. Scar Repair: Addressing Acne Pits and Hypertrophic Scars

The ultra-performance picosecond laser employs a ‘micro-exfoliation mode’ (gently removing epidermal keratin) combined with ‘dermal stimulation’ to specifically target mild to moderate scarring, proving particularly effective for acne pits and pigmented scars.

（1）. Improving depressed acne scars (e.g., ice-pick and rolling scars)

For superficial rolling scars: The ‘non-ablative mode’ stimulates dermal collagen regeneration to fill depressed areas, creating a smoother skin surface. For deeper ice-pick scars: Combine with the ‘micro-ablative mode’ (gently removing the stratum corneum around the scar edges) before stimulating collagen regeneration. This creates a ‘progressive repair’ approach, preventing excessive ablation that could cause scarring.

 （2）. Reducing Hypertrophic and Pigmented Scars

Pigmented scars: Fragment pigment granules within the scar to promote metabolic clearance.

Hypertrophic scars: Utilise the ‘photomechanical effect’ to inhibit excessive collagen proliferation within the scar while stimulating normal collagen reorganisation, resulting in softening and flattening of the scar.
