  • Description: The photothermal effect of lasers is minimized and the photoacoustic effect is maximized as the pulse duration is shortened. Therefore, picosecond lasers with a short pulse and high peak power can be used to effectively treat various pigment disorders by reducing tissue damage. The first picosecond lasers were used for tattoo removal; they are also widely used for pigment treatment because of their reduced side effects compared with nanosecond lasers. Recently, picosecond lasers have been shown to be effective in the treatment of various skin conditions such as acne scars and large pores. There are many studies on picosecond lasers; however, there are no studies on a laser with a pulse duration of 300 ps. This report describes the use of a 300 ps Nd:YAG laser for treating pigment disorders and for skin rejuvenation in four Asians, with no side effects. Determining the clinical significance of the 300 ps pulse duration through comparative studies with various picosecond lasers is needed.
