PicoL.O. is a technically advanced, truly picosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser (1064 & 532nm) designed to efficaciously treat pigmented lesions as well as perform tattoo removal, scar correction and skin rejuvenation.
LASEROPTEK’s patented DOE Fractional Technology has once again been implemented to provide the photomechanical effect, which is the mechanism by which the chromophores of lesions are fragmented and broken up following the application of short laser pulses that can quickly heat up the targeted chromophores, which is called thermal stress, as well as acoustic stress being achieved when laser pulse duration is less than the acoustic diffusion time. In addition, it makes collapse of the cavitation bubble to generate strong local mechanical forces within the dermis, so called as Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB).
The photomechanical effect, the two major sources of which are thermal stress and acoustic stress, is the mechanism by which lesion chromophores are fragmented following the application of short laser pulses which quickly heat the targeted chromophores.
Stability is a key factor to maintain peak power to deliver optimal results with picosecond lasers. LASEROPTEK provides the highest stability in both output energy and pulse duration at 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths. This high stability can be maintained throughout using Pico L.O. and helps to induce LIOB even at low fluence, which makes Pico L.O. differentiated from all others.
