FDA has cleared a LaserOptek 510(k) for its PicoLO picosecond Nd:YAG for use in dermatology and general and plastic surgery. The device generates “high peak power and consistent picosecond pulse duration” to quickly and effectively breakdown and fragment pigments such as those found in tattoos, the company says. It also incorporates LaserOptek’s diffractive optical element fractional technology consistently creating laser-induced optical breakdown in the dermis even at low power.
