Pro 1 Pico technical specifications & comparative evidence
What does the Pro 1 Pico actually offer? Explore documented picosecond settings, pulse-delivery technologies, handpiece options and direct links to sourced comparisons with leading laser platforms.
Published platform specifications
Pro 1 Pico combines native 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology and frequency-doubled 532 nm delivery with additional colour-specific dye handpieces. Four documented Standard/PTP picosecond configurations provide selectable energy ranges for different pigment and treatment priorities.
Picosecond pulse duration500 ps
Core spot diameter2–10 mm
Repetition frequency1–10 Hz
Wavelength options1064 · 532 · 585 · 650 nm
Core energy settings by wavelength
| Wavelength | Standard picosecond | PTP twin pulse |
|---|---|---|
| 1064 nm | 80–800 mJ | 80–1,600 mJ |
| 532 nm | 40–400 mJ | 40–800 mJ |
Figures are the device's console-selectable energy settings documented from touchscreen photographs (October 2026), not independent measurements of delivered optical power. PTP totals are the displayed energy for a two-pulse setting and should not be interpreted as individual pulse energies. Selectable settings are not recommended treatment parameters.

PTP twin-pulse
An additional programmable two-pulse delivery option for pigment-focused protocols. Total selected energy is displayed separately from Standard mode.
PicoFusion™
Rapid-fire picosecond pulse stacking, expanding the platform's dermal and skin-quality delivery options.
Long-Pulse 1064
Thermal Nd:YAG delivery complements the picosecond modes for selected vascular and hair-reduction protocols.
PicoMatrix™ fractional
Round, square and honeycomb patterns broaden the options for fractional skin-quality and texture protocols. See PicoMatrix handpieces.
585/650 nm dye handpieces
Additional wavelength options for selected resistant colours in tattoos and permanent makeup, depending on the supplied configuration.
Manufacturer-direct support
Equipment configuration, clinical onboarding, operator training and service arrangements can be reviewed as part of a purchase proposal.

Compare Pro 1 Pico with leading systems
Laser Equipment Global publishes detailed buyer comparisons drawing on the competing manufacturers' own literature. These guides distinguish wavelengths, pulse duration, selected energy and optional handpieces; different technologies are not assumed clinically equivalent.

Evidence, sources & verification
Equipment buyers should compare a laser using more than the headline millijoule figure. Pulse duration, spot geometry, wavelength, beam profile, delivery method, available accessories, regulatory indications and after-sales support all matter.
Our documentation hierarchy
1. Primary Pro 1 Pico specification reference: Technology overview, fractional handpiece details and the displayed core mode settings above.
2. Independent competitor documents: manufacturer manuals, brochures and product pages linked from the six comparison guides.
3. Clinical evidence: published research can explain wavelength and delivery approaches, but results obtained using other devices should not be represented as Pro 1 Pico-specific clinical outcomes.
4. Purchaser documentation: complete spot-size energy and fluence matrices, configuration details and operator guidance are available to purchasers; they are intentionally not published on this page.
Frequently asked technical questions
What wavelengths does Pro 1 Pico offer?
1064 nm native Nd:YAG and frequency-doubled 532 nm, with additional 585 nm and 650 nm dye handpiece options.
How much energy is available in PTP mode?
The console permits 80–1,600 mJ at 1064 nm and 40–800 mJ at 532 nm. Those are dual-pulse programmed settings, not individual-pulse output measurements.
Can a high maximum energy figure alone establish superiority?
No. Compare specifications at matching wavelengths and equivalent delivery configurations. Pulse duration, beam profile, frequency, spot size and independently verified optical output can change how to interpret headline figures.
Where can I see the complete spot-size matrix?
Detailed spot-size performance tables are retained in purchaser technical documentation, not the public marketing website.
