Theory / How the Pi-Code Machine Works

The Pi-Code Machine is based on Picosecond Laser Technology, which delivers laser pulses in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). This ultra-fast pulse duration ensures energy is delivered so quickly that it shatters pigment particles without generating significant heat in the surrounding tissue. This photoacoustic effect is the key to its precision, safety, and efficiency.

Picosecond Pulse Mechanism

• Ultra-Fast Energy Delivery: The laser emits pulses lasting only a few trillionths of a second. This rapid delivery produces a mechanical shockwave that breaks down pigment particles or tattoo ink into microscopic fragments.

• Minimal Thermal Damage: Because the pulse is so fast, there is very little heat generated in the surrounding skin. This reduces the risk of burns, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.

• Efficient Pigment Clearance: Once the pigment particles are broken down, the body’s lymphatic system naturally removes them, resulting in faster fading and clearance with fewer sessions.

Photoacoustic Effect

The Pi-Code Machine relies on the photoacoustic effect, where light energy is converted into a mechanical pressure wave. This allows precise targeting of:

• Tattoo ink particles – even deep or stubborn colors.

• Melanin deposits – such as age spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

• Superficial and deep skin structures – promoting skin remodeling and collagen stimulation.

Multi-Mode Laser Functionality

1. Picosecond Mode (PI Mode): Delivers high-intensity pulses for deep pigmented lesions and tattoo removal.

2. Long Pulse Mode (LP Mode): Extends pulse duration for superficial pigmentation treatments without harming the epidermis.

3. Genesis Mode (GN Mode): Provides gentle energy for skin rejuvenation and improving skin texture.

4. PTP Function: Splits energy into twin pulses, reducing inflammation while maintaining treatment efficacy.

Biological Effects on Skin

• Tattoo Removal: Shatters ink particles into tiny fragments, allowing natural elimination.

• Pigmentation Correction: Breaks down melanin clusters to fade dark spots and uneven skin tone.

• Skin Rejuvenation: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, texture, and firmness.

• Minimal Downtime: Non-thermal mechanism ensures rapid recovery and patient comfort.

Summary

By combining picosecond pulses, photoacoustic energy, and multi-mode irradiation, the Pi-Code Machine delivers precise, safe, and effective results. It allows dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners to target a wide range of skin concerns—tattoos, pigmentation, and skin aging—while minimizing risk, discomfort, and treatment sessions.
