PicoStar^®G latest generation pico technology

Made by Asclepion laser technologies in Germany, the PicoStar®G is redefining picosecond laser technology with unprecedented lowest pulse duration in the entire laser industry.

Described as the most powerful picosecond laser on the market, PicoStar®G is the latest generation of Asclepion’s skin rejuvenation, pigmentation and tattoo removal technology.

‘We’ve been using the PicoStar®G for over 12 months now. It adds many more options for treating unwanted pigment in a wider variety of skin tones and colours, especially darker skin types,’ says Sydney cosmetic physician Dr Peter Muzikants. ‘It has become our laser of choice for the majority of our patients wishing to treat unwanted pigment.’

PicoStar®G, distributed in Australia by Device Consulting, has a state-of-the-art design and uses the latest picosecond laser technology. With PicoStar®G ,Asclepion’s high-tech system, it is now possible to produce laser beams with a pulse duration of less than 300 picoseconds. PicoStar®G can operate continuously at a high speed without interruption and without the need for pre-pulsing the system before use. This makes it one of the fastest and most reliable picosecond systems on the market. The ultra-short pulses allow bursting the pigment particles without any thermal side effects or risk of scarring. This increases patient comfort and provides greater flexibility and efficiency for the clinician.

Asclepion’s advanced technology offers a lens system that creates a uniform spot without ‘hot spots’ by distributing the laser energy in a perfectly uniform way. This results a more comfortable treatment without the unwanted side effects of earlier picosecond systems.

‘With PicoStar®G, the pulse duration is significantly shorter than other picosecond lasers, which makes a big difference in terms of results achieved,’ says Dr Muzikants.

He says his decision to purchase the PicoStar®G laser for Ada Cosmetic Medicine Clinic was easy. ‘Technically, it has the best specs: lowest pulse duration of 300ps and under, which is significantly less than the closest competitor at 450ps; highest peak power at 2.7GW, which is especially important for treating deeper pigmentation; and a large 16mm spot size,’ he explains.

Furthermore, the shape of the spot is designed to guarantee the optimum coverage of the treatment area with greater efficiency.

The adjustable zoom handpiece with automatic spot detection allows flexible and easy adjustment for all applications and body regions. This helps ensure fast, reliable treatments with impressive results.

‘Overall, the PicoStar®G has won me over because of its efficiency and its ability to achieve results where other previous lasers had plateaued. It is simple and easy to operate for pigmentation, tattoos, skin rejuvenation and scar treatments.’
