WONTECH Picocare Laser System for Tattoo Removal Cleared by FDA

June 26th, 2017 Medgadget Editors Dermatology


Korean company WONTECH won FDA clearance to introduce its Picocare laser-based tattoo removal device. The system relies on a Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser that generates light in a choice of four different wavelengths and delivers it in pulses lasting only 750 picoseconds (.00000000075 s). The laser light is able to break up tattoos of different pigments, the company claiming that it does so better than longer pulsed nanosecond lasers.

“PICOCARE has received a lot of praise for successfully competing with the products of dominant global brands in the Korean market, which possesses strong interest and demand for lasers,” said WONTECH CEO Reno Kim in an announcement. “Currently, it has emerged as one of the most popular kinds of picosecond laser equipment in Korea. As the performance and stability have already been verified through many procedures since its launch in Korea, we are looking forward to seeing rapid market penetration in the U.S. market as well.”

Here are some details of WONTECH’s Picocare system:

System type: Nd:YAG
Wavelength: 1064nm, 532nm, 595nm, 660nm
Output: 600 mJ(1064nm), 300 mJ(532nm)
Pulse duration: 750ps
Peak power: ~ 0.8 GW (1064nm), ~ 0.4 GW (532nm)
Sean size: 2~10mm
Repetition rate: Single, 1 ~ 10 Hz
Handpiece: DYE H/P : 595, 660nm; MLA H/P; Collimation H/P; DOE H/P
Dimension: 450(W) x 940(D) x 870(H)mm
Weight: 90kg
