01 MORE EFFECTIVE
TATTOO REMOVAL
The Cynosure PicoSure laser workstation has
received FDA clearance for the removal of
tattoos and benign pigmented lesions. In a study
by Roy Geronemus, MD, director of the Laser
& Skin Surgery Center of New York, PicoSure
treatments over a two-week period led to a
more than 80% overall tattoo clearance, with
94% clearance for dif���cult-to-remove blue and
green inks. The laser offers an ultra-short pulse
duration to break down pigment with fewer
treatments and less ���uence than nanosecond
lasers. Contact: 800.886.2966, cynosure.com.
