| description | 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. Owing to their ultra-short pulse duration, picosecond lasers effectively target pigment particles and stimulate dermal remodeling, offering patients a safe and effective solution to improve the appearance of their skin. The introduction of the picosecond laser into clinical dermatology practice marks a notable advancement in addressing a broad spectrum of skin problems. |
