Laser modality

Picosecond Laser

A laser modality that emits ultra-short, picosecond-domain pulses, used on multi-application platforms by professional aesthetic and dermatology clinics.

Picosecond systems are defined by pulse duration rather than a single wavelength, and typically operate across multiple wavelengths; exact parameters are specified in each device's manufacturer documentation.

What is picosecond laser technology?

Picosecond laser technology uses ultra-short pulses, measured in trillionths of a second, to target pigment and tattoo ink with a high degree of precision. For aesthetic and dermatology providers, it is valued as a platform-based modality that can support several treatment types from a single system rather than from separate single-purpose devices.

The defining characteristic is pulse duration, not a single wavelength. That is why picosecond systems are typically built as multi-application platforms for professional clinics.

What does picosecond technology support in practice?

On a multi-application platform, picosecond technology supports tattoo and pigment-focused treatments. The specific procedures depend on the device, its configuration, and the provider’s clinical judgment. The approved supported-use statement below reflects documented use for the Pro 1 Pico and does not imply a specific clinical outcome.

Why it matters for your clinic

For a clinic, the commercial value of picosecond technology is versatility. A single platform that runs multiple modes can broaden the service menu, reduce reliance on several single-purpose devices, and simplify staff training and capital planning — considerations that matter to clinic owners as much as the underlying optics.

The Pro 1 Pico system integrates Picosecond, Q-Switched, and Long-Pulse Nd:YAG modes.

That consolidation affects room utilization, training, and equipment budgeting, not only the clinical workflow.

Picosecond on the Pro 1 Pico platform

Pro 1 Laser offers picosecond capability through the Pro 1 Pico, a multi-platform system distributed by Laser Equipment Global. Device specifications, licensing, and regulatory status are documented on the product page, which is the authoritative source for what the device is licensed and configured to do.

See the Pro 1 Pico product page for specifications, licensing, and regulatory status.

Technical background

Picosecond systems are defined by pulse duration rather than by one wavelength, and platforms commonly operate across more than one wavelength so a provider can match the approach to the target. Exact wavelengths, pulse parameters, and output figures vary by device and are listed in each system’s manufacturer documentation.

Providers evaluating a specific configuration should request the current specification sheet rather than rely on general wavelength ranges.
