PicoFusion

Picosecond lasers work incredibly fast—so fast that they break pigment or tattoo ink into tiny particles your body can remove more easily. A shorter pulse, like 350 ps, delivers energy even more precisely than a 750 ps pulse, which means faster fading, fewer treatments, and less heat on surrounding skin. This makes the procedure safer, more effective, and gentler on your skin, while also helping improve texture and firmness.

The 585 nm and 650 nm wavelengths in nanosecond lasers target specific tattoo inks and pigmented spots. The 585 nm wavelength works best on sky blue color varieties, while the 650 nm wavelength is effective on green variety inks. The laser breaks the pigment into tiny particles, which the body naturally removes, helping fade tattoos or dark spots safely and effectively.

After your laser treatment, it’s important to take care of your skin. Avoid direct sun and tanning, skip harsh skincare products like peels or retinoids, and don’t scratch or pick at your skin. Also, stay away from hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for a few days. Following these steps helps your skin heal properly and gives the best results.

Topical numbing cream is optional and used only for patient comfort. Most laser aesthetic treatments are well-tolerated without it, and general anesthesia is rarely necessary.

In photothermal effects, the laser energy is absorbed by the target (like pigment, blood, or water) and converted into heat, which destroys the target gradually while affecting surrounding tissue minimally. In photoacoustic effects, ultra-short laser pulses generate a mechanical shockwave that breaks apart the target without relying on heat, making it ideal for precise pigment or tattoo removal with minimal thermal damage. Essentially, photothermal uses heat, while photoacoustic uses pressure/wave energy.

A DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) and MLA (Micro-Lens Array) are two different optics used to split laser energy into multiple micro-spots. A DOE creates a highly uniform, evenly distributed grid of micro-beams with consistent spacing and energy, making treatments more controlled and predictable. An MLA uses many tiny lenses to split the beam, but can produce less uniform patterns with slight variations in spot intensity. In short, DOEs offer greater precision and consistency, while MLAs are simpler but less accurate.

LIOB, or Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown, occurs when a picosecond laser delivers an extremely fast, high-energy pulse that focuses into a tiny point beneath the skin. This creates a microscopic plasma bubble that gently disrupts pigment or tissue without burning the surface. Because it’s a non-thermal, highly precise effect, LIOB allows for effective collagen remodeling and pigmentation treatment with minimal downtime and high safety for all skin types.

Patients cannot receive treatments if they have experienced or is currently experiencing the following: women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, recent sun exposure or tanning, photosensitizing medications (like Accutane or certain antibiotics), history of keloids, photosensitive medical conditions (e.g, lupus, porphyria), uncontrolled medical issues related to skin healing, recent self-tan usage of strong-irritating products. When unsure, consult a doctor prior to treatment.

Our laser is designed to recognize only the pigment or structure we want to treat. It delivers energy in a precise wavelength and pulse that breaks up the spot without overheating the surrounding skin. This is achieved through a scientific principle called Selective Photothermolysis.

Most treatments can be repeated every 1–4 weeks, depending on the energy level and skin recovery. Gentle treatments have little to no downtime, while deeper resurfacing may require several weeks between sessions.

All of our devices include a 2-year warranty with no shot count limits, courtesy annual maintenance service checks, and lifetime customer support from our U.S. service centers.  Our dedicated technical team is available for remote troubleshooting, and we can dispatch engineers on-site if required.

The devices offer adjustable energy levels and treatment parameters that trained clinicians can select based on individual skin characteristics. Suitability and settings should be determined for each patient according to the device labeling and clinical protocol.

Our technologies are designed to deliver long-lasting results, but no aesthetic treatment is completely permanent. Factors such as aging, lifestyle, and sun exposure can affect the longevity of results. With proper maintenance and care, patients can enjoy significantly improved and longer-lasting outcomes.

Yes. The specification page lists a 330–350 ps pulse range and a 6 ns mode. Ask for a demonstration of the controls and the handpieces used with each mode in the configuration being quoted.

PicoFusion lists 1064, 650, 585 and 532 nm. Confirm the supplied wavelength accessories, compatible lenses and operating modes on the equipment list for your specific system.

PicoFusion includes picosecond and nanosecond specifications, while NanoVive lists Q-switched and other pulse modes. Compare the exact pulse options, optics and planned services; a shared Nd:YAG technology category does not make the configurations identical.

The specification page lists advanced air and water cooling. During purchase planning, request the cooling-maintenance schedule and the required room conditions so your team can support consistent system operation.

Tell Apolomed which modes and wavelengths you want to evaluate, the services you plan to offer and the experience of your operators. Ask to review the quoted optics, user controls, maintenance requirements and training package during the demonstration.
