Device Description
The Boston PICO is a multi-wavelength, pulsed laser system, and a solid-state laser capable of delivering energy at wavelengths of 1064nm, 532nm at extremely short duration in 250ps(± 20%). The combination of wavelength, pulse duration and energy fluence are disrupting the tattoo dye or pigment particles under the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. The fragmented dye or pigment particles eventually surface and fade as the epidermal layer of the skin is renewed. The 1064 nm wavelength can be frequency-doubled to 532nm as desired. The outputs of the two lasers are designed to be co-linear on the laser rail so that their beam paths are identical as they exit the laser system. This allows the use of a single delivery system which can output either the 532 nm or 1064 nm wavelengths. All these energies are delivered through an articulated arm and corresponding handpiece.
