PICOWAVE
by WAVELASER
The Pinnacle of Q Switch Laser Engineering
Unlocking clinical perfection. Experience the next era of dermatological efficacy with the best q switch laser machine. Harnessing advanced pico-second pulse duration, PICOWAVE delivers unparalleled pigment crushing energy with absolute patient safety and minimum downtime.
Beyond Traditional Pulse Widths: The Pico Q Swich Revolution
Standard Nd:YAG Nanosecond lasers rely primarily on photothermal actions, heating up pigments and neighboring tissues. The revolutionary pico q swich mechanism shifts from a photothermal process to a purely photomechanical impact.
Traditional Q Switch Laser
Emits energy in nanoseconds. Large chunks of pigments are shattered through heating. This elevated thermal footprint increases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), requires cooling measures, and needs multiple sessions.
Advanced PICOWAVE Engine
Fires bursts in trillionths of a second (picoseconds). The sheer shockwave shatters targeted melanin into fine dust particle sizes without thermal side effects. Faster clearing, fewer treatments, and zero damage to the surrounding skin barrier.
Dual-Wavelength Optical Precision
Equipped with two highly targeted clinical wavelengths to cover everything from dermal pigments to superficial epidermal lesions.
Green Spectrum
Perfect for superficial brown pigmentations, freckles, solar lentigines, and targeting warm tattoo ink tones (red, orange, yellow).
Near-Infrared
The ultimate workhorse for deep pigment clearing, Nevus of Ota, dark tattoo inks (black/dark blue) and high-level skin rejuvenation.
The Picowave Competitive Edge
Compare the technological gap between previous-generation systems and PICOWAVE, the state-of-the-art q switch laser platform.

Clinical & Technical FAQs
Everything you need to know about integrating the PICOWAVE into your aesthetic practice.
PICOWAVE operates in picoseconds (one-trillionth of a second), which is significantly shorter than the nanosecond pulses of a traditional q switch laser. This prevents excessive thermal accumulation, breaking target pigments purely via micro-mechanical pressure. It requires significantly fewer sessions, handles stubborn ink colors, and vastly improves patient compliance and comfort.
Yes, the optical engineering behind PICOWAVE conforms to the stringent safety and power delivery metrics of a USFDA q switch laser machine. It utilizes dynamic self-calibrating optics and protective alarms to guarantee reliable power settings during all operations.
PICOWAVE features highly reliable, durable optical resonators. The optical lens array and articulating arm are designed to support more than 10,000,000 steady shots before any degradation. Replacement modules are reasonably priced and available through WAVELASER direct distribution networks.
The platform delivers two distinct highly-optimized wavelengths: 1064nm for deep dermal pigment clearance and dark inks, and 532nm for epidermal spots and warm tattoo ink colors.
