How does Picosecond technology work?
While Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers operate with pulse durations around 5–10 nanoseconds, Picosecond devices deliver pulses between 300–750 picoseconds. This thousand-fold shorter pulse duration generates a photoacoustic effect within the pigment, shattering it into microscopic fragments.
