They deliver energy in picoseconds (10⁻¹² seconds), which is much faster than nanosecond lasers.

This rapid pulse duration minimizes heat diffusion, allowing for more precise targeting of pigment without causing excessive damage to surrounding tissues.

The intense energy creates tiny pressure waves that break down pigment and stimulate the body's natural healing response.

Treats sun spots, melasma, and other discoloration.

Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pores, and promotes collagen for a more youthful appearance.

Improves the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars.
