Picosecond laser technology promotes the synthesis of collagen, which makes the skin smooth and wrinkle-free, in addition to curing wrinkles, blemishes, and freckles. A picosecond laser can also be used to get rid of tattoos. It is now feasible to completely break down the color pigment with less treatment time than with traditional laser techniques because to the introduction of the Picosecond alexandrite, which delivers significant energy in a short amount of time. Furthermore, it removes a specific color pigment without endangering neighbouring tissues or thinned skin. It can also be used to treat pigmentation that appears on the lips, armpits, and base of the breasts.
The results
Results for people with freckle problems can usually be seen after 1-2 sessions. After five to six sessions of persistent therapy, people with more severe problems will start to experience improvements. Nevertheless, depending on the quality and intensity of the pigment used to make the tattoo, the outcomes of a Fractional handpiece technique may vary. Laser therapy should be used twice for tattoo removal and once a month for freckle removal.
