PICOCARE is a laser treatment for tattoos. Its 450-picosecond pulse means an increase in power and shortening of pulses resulting in lesser downtime and improved safety.
PICOCARE is an FDA-approved Picosecond laser that comes with a fractional handpiece, the HEXA MLA which uses the principle of Laser Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB). It is a handpiece with a wide range of spot sizes. It is also safer. Additionally, PICOCARE 450 laser technology is efficient in the treatment of tattoo removal. Its laser energy penetrates deeper into the skin treating targeted areas without causing damage to the skin surface resulting in lesser downtime.

There are several advantages to PICOCARE 450. These include:
● Shorter treatment and recovery time
● Increased patient safety
● Minimises surrounding skin damage
● Comfortable
● Delivers energy in shorter burst to remodel skin and improve skin texture
Laser treatments can only be performed by a qualified and certified doctor. Dr. Ivan Puah is the medical director of Amaris B. Clinic and he is trained to perform laser treatments on patients. A consultation with a doctor before treatment is necessary to assess your current condition and needs to facilitate the appropriate treatment.
Picosecond-level lasers pulse duration is lesser than one nanosecond. PICOCARE by WONTECH has four treatment wavelengths which result in better skin appearance. It comes with a fractional handpiece, the HEXA MLA which is a handpiece with a wider range of spot sizes.
Both use the principle of focused beams of pulsating light to treat skin, but PICOCARE delivers energy in shorter bursts which, among other advantages, can remodel skin and improve its texture. Its laser energy penetrates deeper into skin treating targeted areas without causing damage to the skin surface resulting in lesser downtime.
The primary difference is in the pulse duration. Picosecond laser pulse duration is about 100 times shorter than that of a nanosecond laser. This capability enables Picosecond lasers to their job more efficiently.
PICOCARE is an FDA-approved, a Picosecond laser. It is efficient in the treatment of, among others, dermal pigment lesions which include tattoos and can do so in faster time while minimising damage to surrounding tissues.
PICOCARE with its multiple treatment wavelength capacities removes tattoo ink including dark colours like black, brown and dark blue effectively. Its high-speed capability splits large numbers of tissue cells into smaller pieces in a shorter time. It minimises collateral damage to surrounding tissues with its ability to target areas that are to be treated.
PICOCARE is able to remove tattoos regardless of condition (age). Its shorter laser pulse enables efficacy in a shorter time which means fewer sessions are needed.
Yes, it does. The PICO laser comes with a handpiece with a wide range of spot sizes for better precision and efficacy. The energy fluence varies according to what is needed.
PICO Tattoo Laser uses a laser with a shorter burst of energy. This energy disrupts the cells in the skin which contains pigment resulting in reduced pigment appearance. This makes it ideal not only for tattoo removal but also other pigment-related issues like freckles and birthmarks.
For the next few days after the treatment, the area will feel tender with increased skin sensitivity. During the consultation, do raise any questions and concerns regarding your expectations that you may have with our doctor.
