Discovery PICO Series

Picosecond Multi Platform Laser

Four separate emission modes for significantly greater versatility in applications, efficacy and flexibility

Unlike several other Picosecond Lasers that can only generate picosecond Pulses, the Quanta Discovery Pico Plus is able to produce four emission modes with adjustable Pulse durations. Physicians can customise the desired effect of the laser from ultrashort pulses for breaking up pigment and scar treatment through to longer pulses for active acne and neocollogenesis.

Discovery Pico OPTIBEAM II Fractional Handpiece

Enhance both skin resurfacing and scar revision with minimal downtime thanks to the cutting-edge fractional handpiece technology

Utilising a fractional handpiece with a high-powered picosecond laser, create zones of laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) at Multi-skin level stimulation unlike other lasers on the market which only focus on superficial layers. The surrounding tissue has limited collateral damage in the picosecond domain to ensure firstly a rapid healing, secondly a minimum side effect and thirdly a low incidence of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). This both effectively breaks down scar tissue and improves collagen remodelling.

The Discovery Pico fractional handpiece has been clinically proven to significantly improve acne scars with low risk of PIH, suggesting the potential advantages of using the Discovery Pico for treating patients who are usually at risk of PIH with more traditional ablative laser technology.

The most amazing thing about the Discovery Pico is that it does not cause any post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) when I use the fractional handpiece to treat acne scars,”

The Micro-lens array Technology

“The micro-lens array technology within the fractionated handpiece provides 90% energy transfer and the longest beam profile, extending 2 mm beneath the epidermis,”
Dr. Chuang

The Discovery PICO fractional beam profile can perform double skin stimulation allowing both the creation of LIOBs in upper dermis for collagen remodelling and gentle “cold” ablation of damaged skin.

Histology Results

Photo-Acoustic Effect

Discovery Pico includes both Picosecond and nanosecond pulses, for better treatment flexibility.

The Discovery Pico series generates a pure photoacoustic effect to shatter both inks and pigmentation leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. Thanks to its shorter pulse duration, high peak power and large spot size hand-pieces the Discovery Pico effectively and undoubtedly pulverizes even the deepest skin pigments.

Maximum laser efficacy and Patient Safety

Significantly Safer Treatments on All Skin Types with the Optibeam II Technology

The innovative smooth OPTIBEAM II handpiece is specifically designed to have a perfect FLAT TOP beam profile and it comes in different flat-top spot shapes at various sizes. Thanks to its advanced optical technology the OPTIBEAM II handpiece not only maintains uniform fluence but also distributes the laser power homogenously across the different spot sizes, ensuring complete safety, comfort and reduced downtime.

Benefits of the OPTIBEAM II homogenous Flat Top Beam Profile:

• Faster Healing time
• Safer treatment without any “hot points”
• Significantly reduced risk of complications
• Particularly comfortable sessions
• Available in squared, rounded and fractionated beam profiles.

Further Expanding its versatility and Profitably the Discovery Pico can be upgraded with Twain Accessories :

Discovery Pico in particular offers two Twain options; IPL or 2940nm Er:YAG handpiece that can obviously be attached to the front twain connector of the DISCOVERY PICO Series (Not Available with the Discovery Pico Start)*.

TWAIN CONNECTOR

The DISCOVERY PICO series can be equipped with both Twain 2940 and Twain IPL Handpieces through a special Twain Universal Connector* present at the front of the machine.

TWAIN 2940

Twain 2940 is a laser handpiece that fits to the Twain universal connector present on the DISCOVERY PICO platforms*. It has been designed to perform ablation procedures, both fractional and full spot. The Er:YAG laser Twain 2940 nm is able, through the variation of pulse parameters, to remove the layers of skin with minimal thermal damage or produce a higher coagulation suitable for the stimulation of collagen production.

Indications for Twain fractional 2940nm:

• Skin Resurfacing
• Traumatic and acne scars
• Epidermal dyschromia
• Sun and age spots
• Wrinkles and fine les.
• Full Spot Skin ablation
• Full Skin Resurfacing

TWAIN IPL

The DISCOVERY PICO Series* can be equipped with Twain IPL handpieces. The contact skin cooling and the 6 range of wavelengths available, expand treatments flexibility and versatility.

Indications for Twain IPL:

• Hair Removal
• Benign pigmented lesions
• Skin Rejuvenations procedures
• Dermatological vascular treatments
• Active Acne
