This session will focus on enhancing the understanding and advantages of these short pulsed lasers in a medical and cosmetic practice. We will start with the science that grounds this technology and follow this foundation with 3 unique perspectives by the clinicians that have investigated the different picosecond lasers in their practices. Both flat optic and fractional applications will be discussed with best practices and safety guidance. It is our goal that this session will convince the attendees that these lasers are an essential tool for treating tattoos, rejuvenation and pigmentation in all skin types.
