BACKGROUND: The picosecond laser is one of the latest laser systems in dermatology and was originally developed to optimize tattoo removal. Advances in this technology has expanded the use of the picosecond laser to numerous other indications.
OBJECTIVES: This article provides an overview of the technical background as well as the indications of the picosecond laser in dermatological laser medicine and elucidates the possibilities and limits of this laser system.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The article is based on a review of the current literature as well as experience from clinical practice in a university laser department.
RESULTS: The picosecond laser enables a particularly gentle and effective treatment due to ultra-short pulses and the principle of laser-induced optical breakdown. Compared to Q‑switched lasers, the picosecond laser has fewer side effects and is associated with lower pain intensity and shorter downtime. In addition to the removal of tattoos and pigmentary disorders, it is also used in the treatment of scars and rejuvenation.
CONCLUSIONS: The picosecond laser has a wide range of indications in dermatological laser medicine. The current data indicate that the laser is an effective method with few side effects. Further prospective studies have to be conducted to assess the efficacy, tolerability and patient satisfaction in an evidence-based manner.
