This is a question that I get quite commonly. PicoPlus, Pico way and Picosure are different brands of quality Picosecond lasers.

There are other picolaser brands like discovery picolaser, Picocare and Enlighten.

This being said, there are several differences amongst Picolasers:

1. Pulse duration

- the hallmark of Picosecond lasers is the ultra-short pulse duration as compared to nanosecond in Q switched lasers. Pulse duration is important as shorter pulse duration means less photo thermal effect (less heat) to surrounding skin.

- the "gold standard" pulse duration is widely accepted to be 450 Picoseconds. Picolasers like PicoPlus, Discovery pico and Picocare have 450 Picosecond pulse durations.

2. Number of Picosecond Wavelengths

- more wavelengths means more types of pigmentation conditions that can be treated.
