02 / Understand the technology you are buying
“Pico” is a useful starting point for your search. The buying decision needs measurable specifications: pulse duration, wavelength, energy, spot size and the delivery modes that are actually available.
A picosecond is one trillionth of a second; a nanosecond is one billionth. A 500 ps pulse is 0.5 ns. Ask for the documented pulse duration at each relevant wavelength and the energy available at the spot sizes your operators will use. Spot size, fluence and beam consistency all matter to the treatment workflow.
A nanosecond Q-switched laser can have a legitimate clinical role. Compare it as that technology. When considering a picosecond platform, ask the supplier to explain the individual pulse duration, any pulse-stacking modes and the evidence supporting the services being proposed.
| Delivery | What to understand | The buying question |
|---|---|---|
| True 500 ps picosecond | Ultrashort delivery at 1064 and 532 nm for tattoo ink and pigment applications. Single and Twin Pulse delivery options add flexibility. | What pulse duration and usable energy are documented for each wavelength and spot size? |
| PicoFusion™ Quasi-nanosecond | A sequence of stacked picosecond pulses provides a separate delivery approach within Pro 1 Pico's skin-rejuvenation offering. | How does the stack differ from a single picosecond pulse, and how is it used in the proposed protocols? |
| Long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG | Longer energy delivery broadens the platform beyond ultrashort pigment work into selected thermal applications. | Which additional services fit my clinic, and what training supports those applications? |
PicoFusion™ is the name of the stacked-pulse mode; it should not be read as a claim that the platform's individual pulse duration is 750 ps. PicoMatrix describes fractional beam delivery, a separate feature from pulse duration.
Pro 1 Pico provides native 1064 and 532 nm wavelengths, plus 585 and 650 nm dye handpieces for selected colour targets. Ask which wavelengths come from the core laser and which require a specialized handpiece.
For every additional wavelength, compare the available energy, spot size, maintenance and replacement costs. A wavelength label on its own does not describe the complete capability.
Explore wavelengths and delivery →PicoMatrix™ offers round, square and honeycomb fractional patterns. These give operators different ways to position and cover a treatment area for scar-remodelling and skin-quality protocols.
Ask to see all three handpieces, review how they are selected and confirm the configuration in your quote. Their applications overlap; the pattern alone does not establish a separate exclusive indication.
Compare the three PicoMatrix handpieces →03 / Make Canadian licensing easy to verify
Health Canada's Medical Devices Active Licence Listing (MDALL) identifies licensed Class II, III and IV devices. Match the licence holder, device name and model identifier to the equipment in your quotation.1
An establishment licence (MDEL) relates to a company's licensed activities. Health Canada states that it does not constitute approval of specific devices imported or distributed by that holder. Ask for the device's MDL and check the record directly.2
For your purchase file, keep the licence details, exact quoted model, configuration and operator documentation together. Discuss the intended treatments with the manufacturer; a licence listing and a marketing treatment menu answer different questions.
With Pro 1 Pico, you can verify the licence before the demonstration. Our team can walk through the proposed model and handpiece configuration with you.
04 / Match the evidence to your patient population
Good evidence identifies the device, wavelength, delivery method, skin types, treatment course and outcome that were actually studied. Those details help you evaluate the services you want to introduce.
A randomized split-face study of 20 patients found greater solar-lentigines clearance with the studied 532 nm picosecond system than its nanosecond comparator. That is useful evidence for a specific pigment application.4
For tattoo and PMU services, ask to review documented outcomes, ink colours, sessions and follow-up. Standardized photographs are more useful when the treatment details accompany them.
A 31-patient randomized split-face trial found comparable investigator-rated acne-scar improvement with fractional 1064 nm picosecond and fractional Er:YAG treatment. Picosecond treatment had less pain and shorter swelling and crusting; patient ratings favoured Er:YAG.5
This supports a meaningful conversation about scar improvement and recovery. Review the PicoMatrix evidence guide for more detail.
These studies evaluated other named systems; they support technology-level discussion and are not Pro 1 Pico-specific clinical trials.
Ask for guidance relevant to your clinic's Fitzpatrick skin types, pigment history and treatment goals. Pro 1 Pico includes 1064 nm, single and Twin Pulse delivery options. Your training should connect wavelength, delivery, energy and assessment to the patient in front of you.
05 / Compare the complete ownership package
A strong platform becomes more valuable when your operators know how to use its capabilities and can reach experienced support. Compare the purchase price together with training, maintenance, service and the configuration you will receive.
Pro 1 Pico is sold manufacturer-direct with professional operator training and direct clinical support. Use the buying conversation to agree on participants, format, location and the services your team wants to launch.
Ask how training covers patient assessment, mode and handpiece selection, endpoints, documentation, aftercare and troubleshooting. Include room setup, protective eyewear and the operator manual in that discussion.
Ask who answers a service enquiry, how it is assessed and what happens if a component needs repair. Confirm warranty coverage, transport arrangements, maintenance responsibilities and support for your clinic's location.
Ask how later staff onboarding and follow-up clinical questions are handled. Put agreed training and service terms in the written proposal so your team has a useful reference after installation.
| Cost or inclusion | What to request | Why it matters to your clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Console & handpieces | An itemized configuration, accessories and optional upgrades. | Two headline prices may represent different capabilities. |
| Delivery & installation | Shipping, setup, electrical or room requirements and any travel charges. | Build a complete launch budget before committing. |
| Training & onboarding | Included operators, delivery format, follow-up and later staff training. | Understand how your team will put the investment to work. |
| Consumables & maintenance | Shot limits, replenishment, dye handpiece servicing, replacement costs and scheduled maintenance. | Separate the acquisition price from recurring operating costs. |
| Warranty & repairs | Covered components, exclusions, service process and transport costs. | Know whom to contact and what the agreement covers. |
| Lease or purchase terms | Deposit, taxes, payment schedule, total commitment and final ownership terms. | Compare the full financial commitment and cash-flow impact. |
06 / Turn capability into a realistic business plan
A platform with several treatment pathways gives you more options to serve existing patients and reach new ones. Tattoo and PMU removal, pigment services and fractional skin programmes can each have a place in your menu. Choose an initial mix that fits your audience, operator readiness and appointment capacity.
Estimate gross revenue using your treatment prices and realistic paid appointment volumes. Then account for labour, supplies, equipment payments, maintenance, marketing and other overhead. Look at a conservative launch scenario as well as the menu you hope to build over time.
Consider consultation time, treatment time, review appointments and the number of operators available. A treatment's price becomes useful in your plan when you can estimate how many suitable patients you can serve.
The Pro 1 Pico revenue calculator lets you select treatments, prices and weekly volumes. Its result is an estimate of gross treatment revenue; evaluate profit and equipment affordability with your actual costs.
