Discovery Pico
Multi-wavelength picosecond laser for pigment, tattoos and texture
About This Treatment
Discovery Pico is a Quanta System picosecond laser platform using multiple wavelengths such as 532 and 1064 nm, with some configurations including ruby-range options. It is used for lentigines, dermal melanocytosis, tattoos, dullness and picofractional texture work.
Device-specific comparative evidence is limited, so counseling should separate general picosecond laser evidence from platform-specific claims.
Mechanism of Action
Picosecond pulses generate photoacoustic fragmentation of pigment and tattoo particles with reduced thermal diffusion. Fractional modes aim to induce dermal remodeling through laser-induced optical breakdown-like effects.
Indications
Expected Results
Pigment is assessed over repeated sessions; melasma-prone skin requires low-fluence protocols, photoprotection and topical/oral support. Tattoo sessions vary widely by color and depth.
Clinical Evidence
Risks & Side Effects
Redness, swelling, crusting, PIH, hypopigmentation, melasma worsening and tattoo color shift may occur. Tanned or melasma-prone skin requires conservative settings.
