This technology employs a specific type of laser that emits light in very short, high-powered pulses. This rapid, intense energy delivery allows for precise targeting of specific chromophores, such as melanin or tattoo ink, within the skin, breaking them down into smaller particles that the body can then naturally eliminate. An example application is the removal of unwanted tattoos or pigmentation.
The controlled delivery of energy minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissue, making treatments safer and more comfortable. Historically, less refined methods risked scarring or hypopigmentation. This advancement offers a significant improvement in aesthetic procedures, offering faster recovery times and more predictable results. Its precise action makes it suitable for a wide range of dermatological applications, expanding treatment options for various skin conditions.
