Device Description

The PicoWay Laser System is a solid-state laser capable of delivering energy at wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532 nm, 785 nm, or 730 nm, at extremely short duration in the range of 240-500 (ps). The laser system contains one 755 nm (Alexandrite) laser head which is used to 'pump' (create) the 1064 / 532 nm wavelengths. The outputs of the two lasers are optically combined on the laser rail so that their beam paths are identical as they exit the laser system. This allows the use of a single delivery system which can output either the 532 nm or 1064 nm wavelengths. The 532 nm or 1064 nm output energy is delivered to the skin through an Articulated Arm and Zoom Handpiece (HP) delivery system. There are also 3 hand pieces (Resolve), one for 1064 nm and two for 532 nm (low energy and high energy), which deliver a 10 x 10 array of focused spots to the skin and 1 Axicon hand piece (Resolve Fusion) for 532 nm, which delivers a 10 x 10 array of focused and ring spots to the skin. The following handpieces are cleared to be used with PicoWay Laser System: Zoom Handpieces: 532 nm, 1064 nm; Handpieces: 730 nm, 785 nm; Resolve Handpieces: 532 nm, 532 nm HE, 1064 nm; Resolve Fusion Handpieces: 532 nm, 1064 nm.
