A picosecond laser (hereinafter pico laser) is a laser that can crush melanin and pigments of tattoo ink with a laser shock wave (photoacoustic effect) . Therefore, Q-switched lasers can pulverize pigment particles that were too small to be destroyed, and are said to improve skin problems while reducing the risk of scabs and pigmentation after treatment.
However, in rare cases, it is said that there are cases where the effect of pico laser treatment cannot be felt, such as ``stains do not disappear'' or ``no change''. Pico laser has many features such as pulverizing pigments, toning up dullness of skin, and improving skin quality . It is important to check the effects and risks before treatment and receive appropriate treatment.
