Device Description

The Discovery Pico Family is a laser family that includes Q-Switched and/or Pulsed laser sources, emitting at one or more of the following wavelengths: 532 nm, 1064 nm, 694 nm (Ruby laser). The Discovery Pico Family systems, through the special universal Twain connector, can be equipped with intense pulsed light handpieces (Twain IPL) emitting at the following wavelengths: 650-1200nm, 625-1200nm, 590-1200nm, 570-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 400-1200nm. The optical delivery system is an articulated arm with fixed handpieces. The optical delivery system for the IPL system is a handpiece (Twain IPL) with fixed or interchangeable light filters at different wavelengths. All the models belonging to the Discovery Pico Family have the same components and the same control software. The only difference between different models is the optical bench that depends on the sources installed. The Discovery Pico Family is controlled via a touch screen display housed in the front of the device. Emission is triggered by means of a footswitch.
