PICOLO
Technically advanced and genuine picosecond pulsed Nd: YAG laser with dual wavelengths at 1064nm & 532nm is designed to efficaciously treat multiple indications including addressing skin rejuvenation, scars, benign pigmented lesions, and tattoo removal.
Picosecond laser pulses creating a photomechanical effect are on the order of 10 times shorter duration than pulses produced by traditional nanosecond Q-switched Nd: YAG lasers which create a photothermal effect. Both photomechanical and photothermal effects effectively treat a variety of aesthetic indications such as skin rejuvenation, scar revision, removal of tattoos, and benign pigmented lesions, but do so via different mechanisms. Longer nanosecond pulses are designed to heat tissue, whereas shorter picosecond pulses produce cavitation shock and significantly much lower tissue heating. Pico pulses shatter pigments and create LIOB micro-injuries in tissue delivering efficacious results with notably lower incidence of thermal injury, side effects, and downtime.
The PicoLO impresses users with its sleek and compact design. It minimizes discomfort, pain, side effects, and downtime. The large spot size options allow more customized and efficient treatments equally benefitting both end-users.
Multiple Depth LIOB
The PicoLO 1064 Fractional Handpiece with the switch of a tip targets three different depths for a more result-oriented treatment, triggering Laser Induced Optical Breakdowns that create micro-injury zones in order to stimulate a healing process to promote skin rejuvenation. Physicians now can create LIOB in the dermis, upper dermis, and epidermis for enhanced results.
