A pico laser breaks the ink down into tiny particles that the body then clears away. This works on multicoloured tattoos too.
Tattoos almost always need a course. The same laser also treats pigmentation and skin.
The laser fires very short pulses, measured in picoseconds. The ink shatters into tiny fragments that the body's own system carries away in the weeks after treatment.
Different colours need different wavelengths. That is why LARIX PICO has four, for black, blue, red, orange, green and sky blue. The same laser is used for pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone, after a skin assessment.
