Optical pulses from picosecond lasers can be delivered to the skin as single, flat-top beams or fractionated beams using a beam splitter or microlens array (MLA). In this study, picosecond neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser treatment using a single flat-top beam and an MLA-type beam at the wavelengths of 532 nm and 1,064 nm were delivered on ex vivo genotype-regulated, pigmented micropig skin. Skin specimens were obtained immediately after treatment and microscopically analyzed. Single flat-top beam treatment at a wavelength of 532 nm and a fluence of 0.05-J/cm(2) reduced melanin pigments in epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes, compared to untreated controls. Additionally, 0.1 J/cm(2)-and 1.3 J/cm(2)-fluenced laser treatment at 532 nm elicited noticeable vacuolation of keratinocytes and melanocytes within all epidermal layers. Single flat-top beam picosecond laser treatment at a wavelength of 1,064 nm and a fluence of 0.18 J/cm(2) also reduced melanin pigments in keratinocytes and melanocytes. Treatment at 1,064-nm and fluences of 1.4 J/cm(2) and 2.8 J/cm(2) generated increasing degrees of vacuolated keratinocytes and melanocytes. Meanwhile, 532-and 1,064-nm MLA-type, picosecond laser treatment elicited fractionated zones of laser-induced micro-vacuolization in the epidermis and dermis. Therein, the sizes and degrees of tissue reactions differed according to wavelength, fluence, and distance between the microlens and skin.
