The Discovery® Laser
New York

The Discovery® Pico Plus is a multifunctional laser that is suitable for several indications:

• It can delete all tattoo pigments
• It can remove even the lightest brown spots (lentigines, cafe au lait spots, etc.)
• It can treat scars (except keloids) and acne scars
• It can remove vascular lesions (birthmarks, angiomas, etc.)

It is suitable for skin phototypes I to VI.

Vacular removal with Discovery® Pico Plus

The innovation introduced by the Discovery® Pico Plus is that it works at a high peak power level thanks to very powerful ultra-short pulses. This improves treatment results by increasing efficiency on difficult-to-treat tattoo inks with an overall reduction in the average energy dose provided.

The Discovery® Pico has large spotlights ranging from two to five millimetres in size and fast repetition rates that make this laser the complete solution for the treatment of almost all tattoo colors and pigment damage, even on very dark skin.

The doctor first applies a numbing cream to the area to be treated. Then, he chooses the Nd:Yag or Q-Switched laser according to the indication to be treated and the phototype.

The Discovery® laser is the only Pico laser that allows you to work in Q-Switch mode and picoseconds. By combining the two technologies in a tattoo removal treatment for a dark phototype, better results are obtained without any adverse effects.

The Nd:yag Pico Laser

A dual wavelength Nd:YAG laser source emits light at both 1064 nm and 532 nm. This feature allows you to work in Picosecond mode up to 800 mJ of energy and up to 1.8 GW of power.

The Q-Switched Ruby laser

The Q-Switched Ruby allows you to expand the range of tattoo colors to be removed. It is the most effective laser for the treatment of blue and green colors due to the very high pulse energy that is capable of breaking down ink molecules. Color particles treated by this laser are on average larger than those that make up black ink and also respond very well to pulses in nanoseconds.

The duration of the treatment varies according to the complexity of the tattoo. Make provision for between 4 to 8 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.

There will be redness and swelling for 8 to 36 hours. The doctor will prescribe an antibiotic cream for one week.

When large areas are treated, water blisters can appear. The patient must pierce these 24 hours after the session.

Dark skin will lighten during the treatment and regain its initial color two months later.

Results are visible after the first session and improve over the course of the treatment.
