PicoSure sends picosecond (one-trillionth of one second) energy bursts below your skin using PressureWave™ technology. Traditional lasers break ink apart, but the PicoSure PressureWave technology actually shatters the ink into minuscule dust like microparticles. The PicoSure laser successfully destroys the ink without affecting your healthy skin at all. You’ll absorb the ink remnants into your lymphatic system, and eventually, the ink leaves your body through your normal waste disposal processes.
