Pico Pro Laser Equipment

The comparison includes PicoWay, Discovery Pico Plus, PicoPlus Laser System and Fotona StarWalker PICO Pro. These systems come from Candela Corporation, Quanta System S.p.A., Lutronic Corporation and Fotona. Their configurations differ across wavelengths, pulse modes, energy, handpieces, applications, power requirements and support arrangements, so procurement decisions should be based on the exact quoted configuration.

Available wavelengths vary by platform and configuration. Systems in this comparison include core 1064 nm and 532 nm options, with selected models offering 694 nm, 730 nm, 785 nm, 585 nm, 595 nm, 650 nm or 660 nm through optional or specialty handpieces. Confirm wavelength availability, treatment indications and accessory compatibility in the manufacturer documentation and quotation.

FDA clearance is configuration- and handpiece-dependent. PicoWay is identified as a Class II laser surgical instrument with FDA 510(k) information, while Discovery Pico, PicoPlus and StarWalker documentation describes cleared family or platform indications. Optional wavelengths, fractional accessories and software modes may not share the same scope. Verify current U.S. FDA documentation for the exact system being purchased.

Published planning information shows that new-system pricing varies substantially by platform, configuration, wavelengths, handpieces, software and training. The listed systems include estimated ranges from approximately $120,000 to $325,000, while exact prices are quote-based. Used-system pricing is also configuration- and service-history-dependent. Buyers should request a detailed line-item quotation covering included accessories and support.

Important comparison points include intended applications, cleared indications, wavelength selection, pulse duration, pulse energy, repetition rate, beam delivery, fractional handpieces, cooling, electrical requirements, training, warranty and service coverage. Buyers should also assess patient-selection requirements, especially where labeling identifies skin-type or configuration considerations. The exact serial-number configuration and included optics should be documented before purchase.

Electrical requirements vary by system. PicoWay specifies 200–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and dedicated electrical service, while other systems list different or configuration-dependent requirements. Site planning should confirm voltage, current, plug, cooling and circuit requirements for the exact model and serial-number configuration. Buyers should complete facility planning before installation and obtain requirements from the manufacturer or seller.
