PicoPlus Baltimore

A Powerful Treatment for Pigmented Lesions and Tattoo Removal

Maryland Dermatology Laser Skin & Vein now offers the newest laser by Lutronic that is FDA approved for the treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoo removal: PicoPlus. PicoPlus is a non-ablative pigment laser that offers both picosecond and nanoseconds pulse durations. With picosecond pulses, the treatment results can be faster and more effective with less downtime.

Laser Treatment Pulse Duration

A picosecond pulse is approximately 100 times shorter than a nanosecond pulse and delivers less thermal heat. Because there is less heat in each pulse the risk of damaging the surrounding skin is significantly less than if the laser is using nanosecond pulses. With the shorter picosecond pulse, the laser can use higher power settings to shatter tattoo pigment under the skin into smaller fragments that are more easily removed by the body’s immune system.
