DISCOVERY PICO

 

          Discovery PICO is an innovative medical laser that is used for tattoo removal, pigmented lesions, acne scars and wrinkles.

How does Discovery PICO work?

          Discovery PICO is a type of picosecond laser Nd:YAG laser that can emit wavelength at both 1064 nm and 532 nm. The energy from the laser will penetrate through the outer layer of skin, targeting the pigment without affecting surrounding tissues. As the laser works in ultrashort picosecond pulses, it is able to vibrate and fragment the pigments into smaller particles that can be easily eliminated by the body immune system. Furthermore, the feature of this laser allows aged skin (skin rejuvenation) to be treated effectively.
