What is a used Discovery Pico listed at?

A used Discovery Pico has no price range yet, because we found only 1 asking price from 1 seller as of November 2026.

That listing is a 2018 Discovery Pico Plus from a US dealer, asking "starting at" $49,900, so the final price depends on the configuration.

The listing leaves the pulse count blank, so the price tells you nothing about how hard the laser was used.

Searches of DOTmed, Wotol and several US dealer feeds in November 2026 turned up no other priced Discovery Pico.

Used Discovery Pico: listings and price guide

Discovery Pico generations and versions

Discovery Pico comes in 3 versions under FDA 510(k) K191842: Discovery Pico, Discovery Pico Plus and Discovery Pico Derm.

VersionWavelengthsFDA clearance
Discovery Pico1064 nm and 532 nmK163222 (2016-12-05)
Discovery Pico Plus1064 nm, 532 nm and 694 nm rubyK163222 (2016-12-05), K191842 (2019-09-17)
Discovery Pico Dermdermatology configurationK191842 (2019-09-17)

The Plus is the version with the 694 nm ruby source, so a used listing must say which version it is.

Discovery Pico specs and technology

Discovery Pico is a laser family from Quanta System with Q-switched and/or pulsed sources at 532 nm, 1064 nm and 694 nm.

Later 510(k)K191842, decided 2019-09-17 (covers Discovery Pico, Pico Plus and Pico Derm)

Discovery Pico is one of the picosecond systems compared on our used picosecond laser prices page for Quanta System and rival pico brands.

FDA also used the Discovery Pico Family (K163222) as one of 2 predicates when it cleared Lutronic's PicoPlus under K173700.

What clinics use the Discovery Pico for

Discovery Pico is FDA-cleared under K163222 mainly for tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesions, with cleared uses that depend on the wavelength and mode.

  • 1064 nm, picosecond mode: removal of black, brown, green, blue and purple tattoos on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I–VI).
  • 532 nm, picosecond mode: removal of red, yellow and orange tattoos on Fitzpatrick I–III.
  • Picosecond mode: benign pigmented lesions on Fitzpatrick I–IV.
  • 694 nm, Q-switched (Pico Plus only): blue, sky-blue, black, green and violet ink, and benign pigmented lesions such as café-au-lait and nevus of Ota.
  • 694 nm, free-running (Pico Plus only): pigmented lesions and hair removal on skin types 1–4.

K191842 states the family's general intended use as aesthetic, cosmetic and surgical applications.

What to check on a used Discovery Pico

Check five things on a used Discovery Pico: the version, the wavelengths, the pulse count, the kit and the service records.

  1. Version: get the seller to state in writing whether the unit is a Discovery Pico, Pico Plus or Pico Derm.
  2. Wavelengths: if you need ruby ink or hair removal clearance, confirm the 694 nm source is present and working, because only the Pico Plus has it.
  3. Pulse count: ask for it in writing, because the only priced listing we found leaves it blank.
  4. Kit: match the items in the sale to the listing, from the system base to the eyewear and owner's manual.
  5. Service records and serials: ask for the service history and match the console serial to the paperwork.

The same steps apply to any laser, and our guide on buying any used aesthetic laser beyond a Discovery Pico covers them in more depth.

The dealer page for the 2018 unit also carries text for a different laser, so confirm every detail with the seller.

What a complete Discovery Pico system includes

The one priced used Discovery Pico Plus lists 4 items: the system base, laser safety eyewear, the owner's manual and crating.

Ask the seller to list any handpieces separately, because the listing does not name them.

Who can buy a used Discovery Pico

Under 21 CFR 801.109, a prescription device is one that is not safe except under the supervision of a practitioner licensed by law to direct its use.

The federal labelling rule says such a device is to be sold only to or on the prescription or other order of a licensed practitioner.

States add their own purchase rules, so check your state's rules before you buy (this is not legal advice).

Discovery Pico alternatives with used prices

The closest alternatives to a used Discovery Pico are the PicoSure, the PicoWay and the Cutera enlighten, listed at $24,900–$69,995, $59,900–$89,950 and $39,000–$99,950 as of November 2026.

PicoWay's 4 listings from 3 sellers start with a 2017 unit at $59,900, and its specs and listings are on the used Candela PicoWay page as a Discovery Pico alternative.

PicoSure has the most listings of the three, 5 from 4 sellers, for 2013 to 2019 units and one with no year.

Cutera's enlighten III was the other predicate FDA used, next to Discovery Pico, when it cleared Lutronic's PicoPlus.

Discovery Pico questions

Is the Discovery Pico Plus the same laser as the Lutronic PicoPlus?

No, Discovery Pico Plus is made by Quanta System and PicoPlus is made by Lutronic.

FDA cleared PicoPlus under K173700 with the Discovery Pico Family (K163222) as one of its 2 predicates.

Can a used Discovery Pico do hair removal?

Only the Discovery Pico Plus: its 694 nm ruby source is FDA-cleared in free-running mode for hair removal on skin types 1–4.

The base Discovery Pico has no 694 nm source.

Can I contact a Discovery Pico seller directly?

Yes.

The form on each listing goes straight to the seller, and AestheticDeviceMarket never takes payment for a device.

Inspect the device and check the paperwork before you pay.

Where do the used prices come from?

From dated asking prices on dealer and clinic listings, never from sale prices.

We show a range only when at least 3 listings from 2 or more sellers back it.
