The Benefits of
Picosecond Laser

The PicoStar® laser system adopts the latest “Pico Laser” emission techniques. This allows the system to provide extremely high levels of energy through very short pulses. This means the PicoStar® system is capable of delivering a far greater level of pigment breakdown than its nanosecond predecessors.

Immersive
User Interface

Take control of your work thanks to the intuitive user interface featured in the PicoStar® system. Interact with the device through the crystal clear 10.1″ LCD touchscreen display, which allows you to make precise changes to the way you work with ease. Featuring beginner-friendly modes which assign recommended parameters to the selected treatment.

Experts will have the option to go directly to the working screen and configure the parameters themselves. The live display shows the treatment time or pulse rate in real-time.

PicoStar – Frequently Asked Questions

The PicoStar laser is a cutting-edge medical laser that uses ultra-short pulses of energy to break down unwanted pigments and stimulate collagen production.
It is used for a variety of cosmetic treatments, including tattoo removal, acne scar treatment, and skin rejuvenation.
The PicoStar laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that are measured in picoseconds. These ultra-short pulses allow the laser to break down unwanted pigments and stimulate collagen production in the skin. The laser’s advanced technology also minimises damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in faster recovery times and fewer side effects.
The number of PicoStar laser treatments needed to achieve desired results will depend on the specific treatment being performed and the patient’s individual needs and goals. For tattoo removal, it may take several treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve full removal, while for skin rejuvenation, patients may see results after just one treatment.
Most patients report only mild discomfort during PicoStar laser treatments. The laser’s advanced technology minimises damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in faster recovery times and fewer side effects. However, patients may experience some discomfort during the treatment, which can be managed with topical numbing cream or other pain management techniques.

Recovery time for PicoStar laser treatments will depend on the specific treatment being performed and the patient’s individual response to the treatment.

For tattoo removal, patients may experience mild redness and swelling for several days after the treatment, and for skin rejuvenation, patients may experience mild redness and flaking for a few days. However, most patients are able to resume normal activities immediately after treatment, and any side effects can be managed with proper aftercare instructions.

Yes, the PicoStar is designed to target a range of tattoo pigments. Its dual wavelengths allow clinics to treat both dark inks, such as black and blue, and brighter colours like red, orange, and yellow, with high precision. This makes it perfect for multi-coloured tattoos that can be challenging for older systems.
The PicoStar is engineered with advanced technology that improves safety across all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). Its ultra-short picosecond pulses allow for targeted photomechanical breakdown of pigment with minimal thermal impact, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.
Yes, tattoos that have had laser removal in the past but still contain pigment can be effectively treated with the PicoStar. Its picosecond technology can break down stubborn ink particles that may not have responded to earlier nanosecond treatments, making it a perfect upgrade for clinics dealing with complex or incomplete removal cases.
Patients should be advised to avoid sun exposure, saunas, hot tubs, and any activities that may cause sweating for at least 48 hours after treatment. It’s also important to avoid picking or scratching the treated area to prevent scarring. A sterile dressing and a gentle aftercare routine should be advised to support the best healing.
The PicoStar offers significant advantages over traditional Q-switched lasers. With shorter pulse durations in the picosecond range, it provides higher peak energy with minimal thermal damage, resulting in faster clearance of pigment, fewer treatment sessions, and reduced risk of side effects. This translates to greater patient satisfaction and higher throughput for clinics.

Absolutely! The PicoStar offers precise targeting capabilities, allowing clinicians to treat specific sections of a tattoo without affecting the surrounding ink. This is perfect for clients looking for partial removal, cover-up preparation, or modification of existing designs.
