Pico Laser Technology
Pico laser technology is a relatively recent development in aesthetic medicine, and it represents one of the most advanced laser treatments currently available. The “pico” in its name refers to the laser’s extremely short pulse duration, typically measured in picoseconds. (A picosecond is a trillionth of a second pulse.) This is one of the key features of pico laser technology.
Due to the ultra-short pulse duration, high-intensity energy can be delivered to the targeted tissue with minimal heat transfer to the surrounding skin. These short picosecond pulses are able to break the pigment down into tiny fragments (so-called ‘dusting’), ensuring a faster breakdown by the lymphatic system. The laser energy is delivered in a series of ultra-short pulses, each of which targets a specific layer of the skin. This results in a more targeted and efficient treatment process, as well as less damage to the surrounding tissue.
Additionally, pico laser pulses are able to penetrate deeper into the skin without causing significant thermal injury. This allows for the treatment of deeper structures, such as the dermis, which is responsible for the production of collagen and other structural proteins. By stimulating the production of collagen, pico lasers can help reduce wrinkles as well as improve the skin’s overall quality and appearance.
Pico laser technology offers a non-invasive treatment that requires less downtime and has faster recovery times compared to traditional laser treatments. This is due to the reduced risk of injury and the more efficient delivery of energy to the targeted tissue. Additionally, pico laser technology can be used on various skin types, making it a versatile and safe tool/ appliance to be used for a range of treatments.
The PicoStar®
Our newest Nd:YAG PicoStar comes with a number of unique features, making it the most powerful pico laser available. By adopting a dual wavelength (1064/532nm) and utilising maximum power at the shortest pulses, the PicoStar provides effective treatments along with outstanding results for a range of issues.
A valuable quality of a laser device is its pulse shape, as it directly affects the laser-tissue interaction. With the PicoStar, you’ll benefit from a state-of-the-art pulse shape that provides a very short laser impulse (300ps), hardly any pulse-to-pulse variations (reproducible pulses) and a very high pulse contrast.
Our specially developed range of handpieces includes four distinct pieces, offering maximum comfort and incredible flexibility during treatments. The PicoStar Zoom ST handpiece comes with automatic spot size detection and a rotation ring for easier spot size adjustment without having to change the handpiece or tip. With the FLAT-TOP Performance Sets, you’ll have the biggest spot available on the market for 1064nm wavelength, providing effective and safe treatments for skin rejuvenation and toning. Meanwhile, the FLAT-TOP Performance 532 provides precise results for pigmented lesions and tattoo removal. The MicroSpot PICO handpiece distributes the energy output equally in every single spot and helps treat the skin evenly to aid with acne scars or rejuvenation.
With the unique lens system developed especially for the PicoStar, both the FLAT-TOP Performance Set and the MicroSpot PICO handpieces create a uniform bean profile by distributing the laser energy perfectly. This prevents hotspots from forming, guaranteeing a safe and effective treatment. Additionally, both the easy-to-use user interface and the long-articulated mirror arm provide dynamic flexibility and maximum performance for every treatment.

Treatment Options
Pico laser technology can be used for a range of different treatments, such as pigment and tattoo removal, acne scar treatments as well as skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction. The ultra-short pulse duration of the pico laser allows for the delivery of high energy in a very short amount of time, which can reduce the total number of treatments required to remove a tattoo. This also helps to reduce the overall discomfort associated with the treatment. Depending on the size, location and the patient’s skin type, complete tattoo removal can vary, however.
Skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction with a pico laser work by stimulating the production of collagen by delivering the laser’s high-intensity light energy to the targeted skin tissue. As collagen production naturally decreases with age leading to fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a loss of skin firmness and elasticity, the stimulation of collagen production can lead to overall better quality and appearance of the skin.
Conclusion
Pico laser technology offers a revolutionary solution to various skin issues. With Asclepion’s PicoStar, you’ll get a state-of-the-art laser device and ensure maximum treatment results along with client satisfaction. Both the patient and the practitioner will benefit from the efficiency and comfort provided by the PicoStar. If you have any further questions or inquiries, get in touch with us now.
