WHAT IS PICOFY?
Picofy is a picosecond Nd:YAG laser that delivers energy in ultra-short 300 picosecond pulses. A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. Because the pulse is so short, the energy is delivered extremely quickly, helping to break pigment particles apart using a photoacoustic effect rather than prolonged heat.
In simple terms, Picofy focuses on delivering very fast, very precise bursts of energy designed to fragment pigment efficiently.
Picofy is commonly used to address:
- Tattoo removal (black and coloured)
- Dermal pigmentation
- Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Acne scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Skin revitalisation protocols
WHAT IS QMODE?
QMode is a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser that delivers energy in stable 5–10 nanosecond pulses. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, longer than a picosecond but still extremely fast.
QMode offers multiple wavelengths and pulse modes, allowing tailored energy delivery based on pigment type, depth and treatment objective.
It is commonly used for:
- Epidermal pigmentation (sun spots, freckles, lentigines)
- Dermal pigmentation
- Melasma protocols
- Tattoo removal
- Acne scarring
Laser Genesis mode for toning and rejuvenation treatment. Raised lesions such as warts, skin tag and seborrheic keratoses
KEY BENEFITS
Summary for both Picofy & QMode: Ideal Partner Technology
Clinics using combination concepts like:
- Picofy (pico energy for depth)
- Qmode (controlled toning & pigment stabilisation)
This creates a layered pigment strategy, which high-performance clinics use to differentiate themselves.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - PICOFY
Picofy operates in picoseconds rather than nanoseconds, meaning energy is delivered much faster.
Pigmentation, melasma, dermal lesions, acne scarring and tattoo removal, depending on assessment.
Downtime varies depending on the indication and settings used.
Most pigment and tattoo treatments require multiple sessions.
It supports high-demand treatment categories that encourage repeat visits and structured programs.
