Picosecond Laser Machines and Their Key Features

Each machine serves a slightly different treatment need. Some have multiple pulse modes, optional wavelengths, or additional treatment technologies.

PicoElim™ Laser Spot Master: A Compact Desktop Tattoo Removal Laser

The PicoElim™ Laser Spot Master is the smallest and most affordable machine in our collection. At roughly 66 pounds, it takes up considerably less space than some of our other systems. It includes 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths, a 12-inch display, and adjustable spot sizes from 1–10mm. Optional 785nm and 1320nm attachments are also available.

PicoElim™ has a pulse duration of 2,000ps, or 2 nanoseconds. For clinics looking for shorter pulses, M-Shape Beauty also carries systems with pulse durations below 1 nanosecond.

Practices looking for a desktop tattoo-removal system with a smaller equipment footprint and lower initial cost may prefer this option.

PicoErase®: Multiple Pulse Modes and Wavelength Options

The PicoErase® has 300ps and 450ps pulse options, a default 4.5ns setting, and four operating modes: picosecond, long pulse, PTP, and multipulse. It includes 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths, with three additional wavelengths available as optional attachments.

With an adjustable 2–10mm spot size and a seven-jointed laser arm, PicoErase® gives clinics flexibility across different tattoo removal and pigmentation treatments.

PicoPretty Complete Pigment Solution: Multiple Treatment Modes and Attachments

The PicoPretty Complete Pigment Solution combines picosecond, PTP, long-pulse, and multipulse modes with a 15.6-inch Android touchscreen. Pulse durations are 950ps at 532nm and 1,100ps at 1064nm.

Clinics can expand their treatment options with optional 585nm, 650nm, and 755nm wavelengths, plus a fractional attachment for skin resurfacing applications. This makes it a versatile option for practices treating tattoos and pigmentation while looking to add other skin treatments.

PicoPretty Pigment Solution 750: A Dedicated 750ps Laser System

The PicoPretty Pigment Solution 750 features a 750ps pulse duration, standard 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths, and optional 585nm and 650nm attachments.

Its adjustable 2–10mm spot size supports different treatment areas, while the 14-inch display simplifies operation. At around 165 pounds, it's also lighter than the other larger systems, making it a practical choice for clinics that want dedicated tattoo and pigmentation equipment without the additional operating modes of the PicoPretty Complete.

Custom CORE 8D Multifunction Platform: Multiple Treatments in One System

The Custom CORE 8D Multifunction Platform brings several aesthetic technologies together, allowing clinics to expand their services without purchasing a separate machine for every treatment.

Options A and E include a 980ps picosecond handpiece with 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths for tattoo and pigment treatments. Depending on the configuration, the platform can also support laser hair removal, IPL treatments, and skin resurfacing through additional technologies such as Erbium YAG and Er: Glass.

What Matters When Comparing Picosecond Laser Specifications?

Two machines can both be picosecond lasers and still perform quite differently. For professional buyers, the most useful specifications are the ones that affect treatment capabilities, equipment setup, and day-to-day operation.

Specification	What to Look For	Why It Matters
Pulse duration	Listed duration in ps or ns	Identifies the pulse regime and available operating options
Wavelengths	Standard versus optional wavelengths	Determines which pigment-treatment applications the system may support
Spot size	Adjustable diameter range	Influences treatment coverage and energy distribution
Pulse energy	Output at each wavelength	Helps evaluate treatment settings alongside fluence and spot size
Operating modes	Picosecond, PTP, multipulse, or long pulse	Shows how the system can vary pulse delivery
Equipment size	Machine dimensions and weight	Helps determine installation space and portability
Accessories	Included handpieces, lenses, and attachments	Shows which treatments the machine can support and whether additional purchases are needed.

Pulse Duration: Picoseconds Versus Nanoseconds

A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, so 1,000ps equals 1ns. Shorter pulses can produce stronger photoacoustic effects under appropriate conditions, helping fragment tattoo pigment. 

However, pulse duration alone does not determine clinical performance. Wavelength, fluence, beam profile, treatment settings, and the pigment being treated also matter.

For example, PicoErase® has 300ps and 450ps pulse options, while PicoPretty Pigment Solution 750 operates at 750ps.

Why Does the Wavelength Matter?

All five systems have 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths in their configurations, but we also offer options that include additional attachments. 

For tattoo removal, 1064nm is commonly used for black and other dark pigments, while 532nm is often used for red and certain warm-colored pigments. Other wavelengths may be selected for different ink colors or applications, depending on the device.

Wavelength or Attachment	Common Applications	Available On
532nm and 1064nm	Tattoo removal and pigmentation treatments involving different pigment colors	All five systems in their applicable configurations
585nm and 650nm	Additional tattoo ink colors, including certain blue and green pigments	PicoErase®, both PicoPretty models
755nm	Certain green, blue, and dark tattoo pigments	PicoErase®, PicoPretty Complete Pigment Solution
785nm	Additional tattoo colors, particularly some green and blue pigments	PicoElim™ Laser Spot Master
1320nm	Carbon-assisted skin treatments	PicoElim™ Laser Spot Master
Fractional attachment	Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing applications	PicoPretty Complete Pigment Solution

Additional wavelengths and attachments may require a separate purchase. Treatment capabilities depend on the machine's specifications.

Picosecond Laser Tattoo Removal: Choosing Equipment for Your Services

Picosecond laser tattoo removal uses short pulses of light to interact with tattoo pigment. The energy helps break pigment into smaller fragments, which the body's immune processes gradually clear.

For a clinic investing in this service, the most important question is whether the equipment supports the types of treatments you intend to perform.

Consider the Tattoo Colors You Expect to Treat

A machine with 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths can address many common tattoo pigments, but different colors absorb light differently.

If your practice expects to treat a wide variety of tattoo colors, review the optional wavelength attachments before deciding on a system. A machine advertised for multicolor tattoo removal should not be assumed to remove every ink completely.

Look Beyond the Advertised Number of Sessions

Tattoo removal usually requires multiple appointments. The number varies with ink color, tattoo density, location, skin characteristics, and previous treatment history.

No machine can guarantee complete tattoo removal within a fixed number of sessions. Clinics should base treatment expectations on patient assessment and what the equipment can support.

Plan for Skin Assessment and Operator Training

Laser settings must account for skin characteristics, pigment type, and treatment history. Practices should also verify the applicable licensing, supervision, and laser-safety requirements in their jurisdiction before introducing a new treatment.

Should You Choose a Dedicated or Multifunction Picosecond Laser Machine?

If tattoo and pigment removal are your primary goals, a dedicated laser is generally the more direct equipment choice. You can review pulse settings, wavelengths, and accessories without also evaluating unrelated treatment technologies.

The Custom CORE 8D Multifunction Platform is worth considering when your clinic is planning to add more treatments. Its configurable platform can combine a picosecond handpiece with other technologies, although the available treatments depend on which handles you purchase.

Before You Buy: Five Questions Worth Asking

Buying a professional laser involves more than choosing the right model. Before placing an order, make sure the equipment matches your clinic's practical requirements.

• What's included in the price? Confirm the standard handpieces, optional wavelengths, lenses, and other accessories.
• Will the machine work in your treatment room? Check dimensions, electrical requirements, cooling, and installation needs. For example, both PicoPretty systems list a 30A power requirement.
• Which pulse settings are available? Verify the operating modes and pulse durations supported by the model you're purchasing.
• What documentation is available? Request the device-specific documentation that’s relevant to your treatments and location.
• What happens after delivery? Review training arrangements, warranty exclusions, replacement-part coverage, and technical support.
