Used Picosecond Lasers for Sale, With Used Price Ranges by Model

The table above shows dealer asking prices for each picosecond model, as of November 2026, from AestheticDeviceMarket used price data.

Asking prices are what sellers list, not what a laser sold for, so expect room to negotiate.

Generation drives most of the spread: a 2013 Cynosure PicoSure is listed at $24,900, while a 2019 PicoSure is asking $69,995.

The newer PicoSure Pro is a 755 nm system with 532 nm and 1,064 nm as optional add-ons, and a 2022 unit listed at $82,975 shows as out of stock.

Cutera enlighten prices split the same way: 2015 enlighten units are listed at $39,000 and $49,999, and enlighten III units at $99,500 and $99,950.

A used picosecond laser is listed at $24,900 to $99,950 as of November 2026, depending on model, generation and handpieces.

The low end is a 2013 Cynosure PicoSure listed at $24,900, and the high end is a Cutera enlighten III listed at $99,950 by a dealer.

Used Candela PicoWay systems sit in between, with four dealer asking prices from $59,900 to $89,950; the top two are a refurbished 2019 unit with four handpieces and a 2017 unit.

Picosecond lasers differ mainly by wavelength: the PicoSure is built around 755 nm, while the PicoWay, enlighten, PicoPlus and Discovery Pico are built around 1,064 nm and 532 nm.

Pulse width also varies by system: PicoWay's 2022 clearance lists 240–500 ps, and PicoPlus fires at 450 ps.

The PicoWay uses a 755 nm alexandrite head only to pump its 1,064 nm and 532 nm output, so it is not a 755 nm treatment laser like the PicoSure.

All of these are FDA-cleared through 510(k), not FDA-approved.

Check the model variant, the handpieces included and the manufacturer's service terms before you pay.

1. Confirm the exact model. Sellers sometimes file picosecond lasers in the wrong category, such as a PicoSure under pulsed dye or a Fotona StarWalker PQX under erbium, and Fotona's StarWalker MaQX is a Q-switched laser, not a picosecond one.
2. Ask which variant it is. A Discovery Pico listing should state Discovery Pico, Pico Plus or Pico Derm, because only the Pico Plus adds the 694 nm ruby source.
3. Count the handpieces. The PicoWay Zoom 532/1,064 nm handpiece comes standard and the Resolve handpieces are optional, and one 2017 PicoWay listing includes 1,064, 532 and 785 nm tattoo handpieces but no 730 nm handpiece.
4. Match each wavelength to a clearance. The PicoPlus 510(k) K173700 covers 1,064 nm and 532 nm only, so ask the seller what clearance covers any 595 nm or 660 nm handpiece in the listing.
5. Get the service fee in writing. Candela charges no recertification fee on a certified pre-owned system bought from Candela but does not publish its fee for third-party sales, and Cynosure Lutronic and Cutera publish no transfer or recertification fee.

Brand fees and policies are compared in the transfer and recertification fee comparison covering Candela, Cynosure and Cutera picosecond systems.

Cutera, the maker of enlighten, filed a pre-packaged Chapter 11 in March 2025 and told customers the process had no impact on service or support.

The Cynosure PicoSure is the most-listed picosecond laser in our November 2026 price data, with 5 dealer asking prices from $24,900 to $69,995.

The Candela PicoWay follows with 4 asking prices from $59,900 to $89,950, and the Cutera enlighten with 4 from $39,000 to $99,950.

The Lutronic PicoPlus, Quanta Discovery Pico and Fotona StarWalker PQX had too few current US listings in November 2026 to publish a range.

If you're choosing between the two most-listed platforms, our PicoSure vs PicoWay asking-price and running-cost comparison puts them side by side.

Every picosecond laser on this page is FDA-cleared for tattoo removal, and most of them emit 1,064 nm.
