Intended Use

755 nm: The PicoSure workstation is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal. The PicoSure workstation with the 3mm and 6mm handpieces and the Focus Array are indicated for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles in Skin Types I-IV. 532 nm: The PicoSure 532 nm Laser Delivery System is indicated for tattoo removal in Skin Types I - III. 1064 nm: The PicoSure 1064 nm Laser Delivery System is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal.

Device Story

PicoSure Workstation is a high-powered laser system delivering energy at 755 nm, 532 nm, or 1064 nm wavelengths. The system uses an articulated arm with interchangeable handpieces or delivery systems to convert 755 nm energy into 532 nm or 1064 nm wavelengths. Laser activation is controlled via footswitch. The device is used in clinical settings by trained professionals for tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesion removal, and treatment of acne scars and wrinkles. By delivering short-pulse laser energy, the device targets pigments or skin structures to achieve therapeutic outcomes. Clinical efficacy is assessed by healthcare providers through photographic evaluation of skin improvement. The device benefits patients by providing a non-invasive method for aesthetic skin correction and tattoo removal.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical study of 66 subjects with 79 tattoos; subjects received up to 12 treatments at 6-week intervals. Comparison against RevLite predicate using split-tattoo or exclusive treatment groups. Primary endpoint: efficacy via blinded photographic evaluation using a 6-point categorical scale. Results: PicoSure mean score 4.1/6 vs. RevLite 3.7/6. No deaths, serious adverse events, or unanticipated adverse device effects reported.

Technological Characteristics

Laser types: Alexandrite (755 nm), Nd:YVO4 (1064 nm), Frequency-doubled Nd:YVO4 (532 nm). Pulse duration: 450-900 ps. Repetition rates: 1, 2.5, 5, 10 Hz. Spot sizes: 1.4-10 mm range. Energy delivery via articulated arm and interchangeable handpieces. Software-controlled laser activation.

Indications for Use

Subjects received up to 12 treatments, one every 6 weeks (+/- 2 weeks). Subjects were divided into two groups and treated exclusively with PicoSure, or their tattoo was split into two treatments areas, and treated with PicoSure and the predicate device. Three blinded reviewers performed an evaluation of photographs using a 6 points categorical efficacy scoring scale as well as rating the cattoos. Mean scores for all three evaluators were calculated per subject to determine overall mean scores. The results of the blinded evaluation were subjects treated with PicoSure were rated 4.1/6 overall mean score, showing the PicoSure to be as effective as the predicate device RevLite, which had an average score of 3.7/6. There were no deaths, serious adverse events (SAE) or unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs) reported in this study. The primary objectives of the study; to assess overall treatment efficacy through blinded photographic evaluation using a 6 point scale to grade improvement, assess safety of the PicoSure laser through the recording of side effects during the course of the study, and compare efficacy of the PicoSure laser to the predicate device in a subset of patients, have been met. 807.92(b)(3) Conclusions drawn from clinical and non-clinical tests submitted Testing confirmed that the PicoSure workstation with the 532 and 1064 nm Laser Delivery System is safe and effective in the removal of tattoos.
