Picosecond Laser Machines
Picosecond lasers work at picosecond-scale pulse widths: photoacoustic effects shatter pigment particles finer with less thermal impact on surrounding tissue, upgrading pigment programs from “spot removal” to a combined pigment-plus-texture profit line. It is the most frequent item on institutions’ device-upgrade lists.
Institution view: how picosecond changes program structure
In the Q-switched era, pigment programs were priced per “spot”. In the picosecond era, institutions can design programs as “skin-tone management cycles” — skin, spot and tattoo modes share one platform, giving a healthier ticket structure and repeat cycle. Institutions running both can route basic needs to Q-switched and upgrades to picosecond. See the pigmentation program for design.
PicoStar: the flagship of SYNIXFIELD’s pigment line
PicoStar offers full-beam and fractional output modes covering skin, pigment and tattoo scenarios; the same line includes the Q-switched laser and HELIOS III (dual wavelength), forming a complete “picosecond + Q-switched + dual-wavelength” pigment matrix.
Installation key points
- Per-unit calibration reports for pulse width and peak power
- Spot modes and arm configuration matching your flagship programs
- Cartridge lifespan, shot counting and supply policy written into the contract
- Operator training: picosecond complaints mostly come from wrong parameters — training matters more than hardware

FAQ
When should an institution add picosecond?
When pigment programs become the profit mainline and clients clearly demand fine skin work and hard-to-treat pigment. Picosecond expands “spot removal” into a pigment-plus-texture line — a step up in both ticket and program width.
What is the difference between fractional and honeycomb modes?
Fractional splits the beam into a micro-beam array, lowering single-point thermal impact and promoting repair; full-beam/honeycomb modes emphasize pigment-shattering efficiency. Switching modes by program goal is daily practice on a picosecond device.
How to control consumables cost on picosecond programs?
Cartridges are the core consumable: confirm documented lifespan, shot-count transparency and supply cycle, and price per-area with per-shot cost — the first line of a picosecond program’s financial model.
