MD Pico® Laser
Multi-Wavelength Picosecond Platform
The MD Pico® Laser is a versatile, multi-wavelength picosecond laser platform designed to address a wide range of skin concerns, from stubborn tattoo ink to skin-rejuvenation.
Using ultra-short picosecond pulses to deliver targeted energy, MD Pico shatters pigmentation photomechanically with minimal heat buildup, maximizing patient safety.
Emits energy in trillionths of a second to shatter target pigment.
Multiple options to target different depths and ink colors.
Breaks down targeted melanin, pigment particles, and ink.
Shivers targets mechanically, preventing surrounding thermal stress.
How MD Pico Works
MD Pico delivers laser pulses in picoseconds—trillionths of a second. This speed is significantly faster than traditional Q-switched nanosecond lasers.
These ultra-short pulses deliver energy so rapidly that it creates a primarily photomechanical effect. Instead of heating the target pigment to break it down, the intense pressure wave shatters tattoo ink and melanin into tiny, dust-like particles. The body's immune system then naturally clears these particles, resulting in faster clearing with fewer treatments.
1064 nm Fractional Resurfacing
In addition to flat handpieces, MD Pico features a fractional handpiece utilizing the 1064 nm wavelength.
This fractional approach creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin, initiating a natural healing process. It stimulates collagen remodeling and skin resurfacing to effectively treat acne scars, enlarge pores, fine lines, and uneven texture with minimal down-time.
Multi-Wavelength Technology
Multiple available wavelengths allow providers to customize treatments based on target depth, skin type, and specific tattoo ink colors:
Highly absorbed by melanin and red/orange/yellow inks. Primarily used for epidermal pigmentation and warm-colored tattoo removal.
Targets superficial vascular lesions and red/orange tattoo pigments, adding versatility for specific clinical targets.
Specifically optimized to target green and blue tattoo ink colors, which are notoriously difficult for standard lasers.
Highly absorbed by melanin and green/blue inks. Widely used for benign pigmented lesions and multicolored tattoos.
Penetrates deeper to target black and dark tattoo inks and deep dermal pigments, safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
What Can MD Pico Treat?
The multi-wavelength design allows the MD Pico platform to address an extensive range of indications:
Shatters dark, blue, green, and red tattoo inks using optimized wavelengths.
Fades age spots, freckles, café-au-lait spots, and epidermal pigmentation.
Uses fractional picosecond pulses to promote collagen production and smooth skin.
Stimulates deep tissue remodeling to soften signs of aging with minimal downtime.
Addresses diffuse pigmentation and selected vascular redness.
Refines pore structure and improves skin elasticity through fractional resurfacing.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
Because picosecond lasers rely primarily on photomechanical energy rather than heat, treatments generally cause less collateral thermal damage, leading to lower discomfort and quicker recovery profiles than older platforms.
Patients typically describe the sensation as short, warm snaps. Following treatment, temporary redness, swelling, warmth, or mild skin sensitivity are common. For tattoo and pigment treatments, temporary darkening, crusting, or light flaking may occur as pigment particles migrate to the skin surface. Most epidermal side effects resolve within 3 to 7 days.
