Summary:Picosecond lasers are gaining increasing popularity in dermatology and aesthetic medicine due to their favorable safety profile and a wide range of therapeutic applications. While originally employed primarily for tattoo removal, their versatility has extended their use to the treatment of various aesthetic skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation, acne scars, stretch marks, and signs of photoaging.

The introduction of the picosecond laser into clinical dermatology practice marks a notable advancement in addressing a broad spectrum of skin problems.
