PicoVera Q-Switched Laser Tattoo Removal System

PicoVera is an Active Q-Switched laser system with four wavelengths — 1064nm, 532nm, 1320nm, and 755nm — delivered in a compact 3–5 nanosecond pulse. The four-wavelength coverage addresses a broader spectrum of ink colors than dual-wavelength systems: 1064nm for black/dark blue, 532nm for red/orange/yellow, 755nm (alexandrite-equivalent) for black/blue/green, and 1320nm for skin rejuvenation. Its 1000W laser power at 1064nm with up to 600mJ pulse energy is competitive with higher-end systems. The Active Q-Switched technology distinguishes it from passively Q-switched designs, typically providing more stable pulse-to-pulse energy output.

The four-wavelength design enables a structured approach for mixed-color tattoos. Begin with 1064nm for black/dark ink, then switch to 532nm for red and orange components, and use 755nm for green and blue elements that may be resistant to the primary wavelength. The 1320nm mode is used for skin rejuvenation between sessions or for treating pigmented lesions without tattoo involvement. A typical colored tattoo course: 8–12 sessions, 6–8 week intervals. Use the 10Hz maximum frequency for faster coverage of large tattoos. The circulating water cooling system maintains consistent energy output throughout treatment.

PicoVera's 1064nm wavelength is the primary option for Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin. The 532nm wavelength should be avoided on melanin-rich skin due to high melanin absorption. Use conservative starting fluences (2–3 J/cm²) and titrate based on clinical response. The 10Hz frequency allows faster treatment but should be paired with adequate cooling breaks for larger treatment areas. The 36-month warranty provides long-term reliability assurance for clinic operations. Standard contraindications apply: pregnancy, active infection, photosensitivity, recent Accutane.

FDA status for PicoVera is not explicitly stated in the product listing — fda_key, fda_label, and fda_tone fields are all empty. ⚠️ FLAG: The product listing does not confirm FDA clearance, CE marking, or any other regulatory approval. The specifications (3–5ns pulse width, 1000W power, 4 wavelengths) describe a Q-switched Nd:YAG system, but regulatory status must be verified independently before purchase for regulated markets. Request documentation from the supplier. The 36-month warranty is notable but does not substitute for regulatory clearance.
