Pro 1 Pico vs Asclepion PicoStar: Clinic Buyer Comparison
PicoStar advertises 300 ps pulse duration, up to 800 mJ and a 16 mm handpiece option. Pro 1 Pico offers 500 ps, 800 mJ at 1064 nm Standard, PTP twin-pulse, 585/650 nm dye handpieces, PicoFusion and Long-Pulse 1064.
Key differences
- PicoStar advertises 300 ps pulses, 800 mJ maximum energy and up to 16 mm spot configuration.
- Pro 1 Pico shows 800 mJ maximum at 1064 nm Standard and up to 1600 mJ programmed dual-pulse total at 1064 nm PTP.
- Pro 1 Pico offers 585/650 nm dye handpieces plus PicoFusion and Long-Pulse 1064 delivery.
How does Pro 1 Pico compare with Asclepion PicoStar?
PicoStar advertises 300 ps pulse duration, up to 800 mJ and a 16 mm handpiece option. Pro 1 Pico offers 500 ps, 800 mJ at 1064 nm Standard, PTP twin-pulse, 585/650 nm dye handpieces, PicoFusion and Long-Pulse 1064.
PicoStar’s shorter 300 ps pulse and 16 mm large-spot configuration are genuine strengths. Pro 1 Pico offers a broader collection of delivery choices—Standard and PTP picosecond, PicoFusion, Long-Pulse 1064, and additional dye wavelengths—particularly valuable for clinics planning multiple service categories.

Which laser specifications matter to a clinic buyer?
| Specification | Pro 1 Pico | Asclepion PicoStar |
|---|---|---|
| Core wavelengths | 1064 and 532 nm | 1064 and 532 nm |
| Pulse duration | 500 ps | 300 ps (manufacturer-advertised) |
| Maximum single/Standard energy | 800 mJ at 1064 nm | 800 mJ maximum (manufacturer figure) |
| Twin-pulse delivery | PTP; up to 1600 mJ total programmed at 1064 nm | No equivalent PTP figure in cited manufacturer materials |
| Core/optional spot sizes | 2–10 mm core | Up to 16 mm with optional flat-top optic |
| Extra pigment handpieces | 585 nm and 650 nm dye | Flat-top and MicroSpot accessory options |
| Additional delivery modes | PicoFusion; Long-Pulse 1064 | Picosecond platform; no equivalent thermal mode confirmed in cited source |
| Fractional optics | PicoMatrix, three patterns | MicroSpot PICO handpiece |
Specification basis: Pro 1 Pico values are console-selectable settings documented in October 2026, not independent optical-output measurements. Its PTP figures are programmed twin-pulse totals, not single-pulse energy. Competitor details are taken from Asclepion PicoStar manufacturer documentation. Accessories, generations and regional configurations may differ. Pulse energy or pulse duration alone does not establish superiority in clinical outcomes.
What does this difference mean for your clinic?
PicoStar’s shorter 300 ps pulse and 16 mm large-spot configuration are genuine strengths. Pro 1 Pico offers a broader collection of delivery choices—Standard and PTP picosecond, PicoFusion, Long-Pulse 1064, and additional dye wavelengths—particularly valuable for clinics planning multiple service categories.
Before choosing, ask for the actual supplied wavelength and handpiece configuration, regulatory indications, service terms and clinician training. For Pro 1 Pico, we can demonstrate Standard, PTP, PicoFusion, Long-Pulse 1064 and PicoMatrix options in one equipment consultation.
Does PicoStar have shorter pulses than Pro 1 Pico?
Yes. PicoStar advertises approximately 300 ps, compared with Pro 1 Pico at 500 ps. Shorter pulse width alone does not establish better clinical results.
Does Pro 1 Pico offer more pulse energy than PicoStar?
Both systems list or display 800 mJ maximum single/Standard energy. Pro 1 Pico also has a separate PTP twin-pulse mode up to 1600 mJ programmed total, which must not be compared as if it were single-pulse energy.
