OverviewSmartPICO by DEKA is a versatile laser system combining four emission modalities (PICO, NANO, DUAL, THERMAL) and operating at 532 nm and 1064 nm. Multiple handpiece shapes and spot sizes with fractional and traditional emission make SmartPICO suitable for treating age-related dyschromia, benign pigmented lesions, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scars and tattoos while minimizing contraindications.
Key benefits- Broad clinical applicability across rejuvenation, pigmentary lesions and tattoo removal.
- Reduced downtime and lower risk of thermal-related side effects thanks to predominant photoacoustic action.
- High pulse energy for effective fragmentation of pigments and consistent results.
Handpieces and accessories- SmartPICO handpieces: multiple spot sizes (square and round) and dedicated focal lenses; support traditional and fractional emission modes to optimize energy delivery per indication.
- DEKA Peel handpiece: enables laser carbon peel procedures for superficial skin polishing and cosmetic rejuvenation.
Applications- Photorejuvenation (from mild rejuvenation to deep acne-scar treatment)
- Tattoo removal (combined nanosecond and picosecond strategy for coarse removal and fine finishing)
- Benign pigmented lesions
- Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Scar remodeling
Emission modes and wavelengths- Emission modalities: PICO, NANO, DUAL and THERMAL.
- Wavelengths: 532 nm and 1064 nm (QS Nd:YAG / picosecond-compatible).
Scientific basis- SmartPICO pulses generate a predominant photoacoustic effect that fragments pigment particles and stimulates collagen synthesis at the appropriate tissue depth while minimizing collateral thermal damage.
- Tattoo removal uses a combined approach: nanosecond pulses for bulk pigment ejection and picosecond pulses for ultra-fine fragmentation to facilitate phagocytosis and clearance.
