LightSense™ uses 34x less energy. This means that laser tattoo removal treatments are gentle and skin-kind. The laser is able to operate on such low energy by making the most of the concept of fluence.
100x
faster repetition rate*
LightSense™ has a 100x faster repetition rate. The maximum repetition rate of 1000Hz - that’s how many times a second the laser can fire - means it clears unwanted ink from the skin at an astonishing pace.
92x
shorter pulse width*
LightSense™ has a 92x shorter pulse width. The pulse of light is on for just eight picoseconds, limiting skin damage and reducing pain.
11x
more precise spot size*
LightSense™ has an 11x more precise spot size. At a miniscule 0.4mm, it is smaller than the nib of a pen and supremely accurate.

FAQS
Is LightSense™ a pico laser?
The LightSense™ laser system is a type of pico laser. It has an extremely short pulse width of eight picoseconds, 89x shorter when compared to the average pico laser.
What is a picosecond laser?
A picosecond laser removes tattoos by operating with a pulse width that is measured in picoseconds, or in one-trillionth-of-a-second increments. Pulse width refers to the duration of the laser’s beam, or how long the pulse of light is on for.
Is a picosecond laser better for tattoo removal?
Before picosecond lasers, tattoo removal was attempted using lasers with pulse widths measured in nanoseconds. This longer pulse of light can potentially cause skin damage and pain. We are happy to point to studies that examine the multiple benefits of using picosecond lasers over nanosecond lasers.
What is the safest laser for tattoo removal?
The LightSense™ laser puts skin safety at the forefront of the tattoo removal process. The initial research that underpins the laser system, undertaken at Princeton University, identified the need for a skin-kind and less painful laser tattoo removal technology.
Are pico lasers the only way to remove an unwanted tattoo?
No, they are not. Throughout history there have been many attempts at creating a tattoo removal technology, ranging from the crude (dermabrasion and salabrasion), to incredibly sophisticated picosecond laser systems.
Why is LightSense™ only available at NAAMA?
The consultants at NAAMA are given specialist training to operate the LightSense™ laser system. After becoming experts at using the laser, they require no other tool to treat colour ink tattoos, tattoos on Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin types, and a wide range of PMU styles.
