PICOCARE by Wontech (Daejeon, South Korea) is a novel picosecond Nd:YAG laser with dual wavelengths of 532 nm and 1064 nm. Due to the unique properties of ultra-short pulses and high peak power, along with the availability of various handpieces including Zoom, Collimation, HEXA MLA (micro-lens array) and Dye (595 nm and 660 nm), this laser enables more effective and safer treatments, in fewer applications than conventional nanosecond lasers for cutaneous lesions. These include benign pigmented disorders, multi- colored tattoos, skin rejuvenation and scars.

PicoCare450 offers a unique approach to decreasing melanocyte-based dispigmentation in patients suffering from epidermal and dermal melasma. Treatment response can be variable and completing at least six treatments is recommended for optimal results. Skin cooling during and after laser treatment may be an important factor influencing treatment results.
