Used tattoo removal laser prices by model
The table above shows dealer asking prices for each tattoo removal laser 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.
Year and generation move the price within one model: a 2013 Cynosure PicoSure is listed at $24,900, while a 2019 PicoSure is asking $69,995.
The newer PicoSure Pro sits above both, with a 2022 unit listed earlier by a dealer at $82,975.
The same split shows on Lutronic lasers: a 2018 Spectra is listed at $19,900, and a 2022 Hollywood Spectra is asking $74,950.
The Lutronic PicoPlus, Astanza Trinity, Quanta Discovery Pico and Fotona StarWalker had too few priced US listings in November 2026 to publish a range.
The same ranges sit beside other models in our used price guide for tattoo removal lasers and other aesthetic devices.

How much does a used tattoo removal laser cost?
Used tattoo removal lasers are listed at $19,900 to $99,950 as of November 2026, depending on pulse type, generation and handpieces.
The low end is a 2018 Lutronic Spectra listed at $19,900, and the high end is a Cutera enlighten III listed at $99,950 by a dealer.
Q-switched lasers cluster lower, with Cynosure RevLite SI units asking $24,900 to $44,000.
Picosecond lasers cluster higher, with Candela PicoWay units asking $59,900 to $89,950.
What to check before buying a used tattoo removal laser
Check the generation, the handpieces and the model name before you pay.
- Confirm the generation. A dealer listed a 2019 Cutera enlighten II at $20,975, while a 2018 enlighten III is asking $99,500, so ask which one the listing is.
- Count the wavelength handpieces. The PicoWay Zoom 532/1064 nm handpiece comes standard and the Resolve handpieces are optional, and one 2017 PicoWay listing includes 1064, 532 and 785 nm tattoo handpieces plus 1064 and 532 nm Resolve handpieces.
- Match the handpieces to the clearance. The PicoPlus 510(k) (K173700) covers 1064 nm and 532 nm only, so treat any other wavelength a seller advertises as outside that clearance.
- Classify by model, not by the seller's label. DOTmed sellers have filed a PicoSure under Pulsed Dye and a StarWalker PQX under Erbium, and a Quanta Discovery Pico Plus is a different laser from the Lutronic PicoPlus.
- Count the consoles on an Astanza Trinity. The Trinity Signature is two separate devices, the Duality Signature Nd:YAG and the Eternity TSR ruby, and the Trinity runs on 220 V at 3.7 kVA.
A Fotona StarWalker MaQX is Q-switched, and the picosecond StarWalker model is the PQX.
We excluded very low-priced DOTmed PicoWay listings from one importer, because the price and copied marketing text are consistent with replicas.
Before you pay, check the transfer and recertification terms for your tattoo laser's brand, since Candela, Cynosure Lutronic, and Cutera publish no fee for third-party sales.
Picosecond vs Q-switched: how tattoo removal lasers differ
Tattoo removal lasers differ mainly by pulse length: picosecond lasers fire pulses of hundreds of picoseconds, such as 240–500 ps on the PicoWay, while Q-switched lasers fire nanosecond pulses, such as 6 ns on the Astanza Trinity's Nd:YAG.
| Type | Wavelengths | FDA-cleared use (example) | Example models | Browse |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Picosecond | 755 nm (PicoSure); 1064, 532, 785 and 730 nm (PicoWay); 1064 and 532 nm (PicoPlus) | PicoWay 1064 nm: black, brown, green, blue and purple ink on all skin types | PicoSure, PicoWay, PicoPlus, Discovery Pico | Used picosecond tattoo lasers |
| Q-switched Nd:YAG | 1064 and 532 nm, with optional 585 and 650 nm dye handpieces on the Hollywood Spectra and StarWalker | StarWalker 1064 nm: dark (black, blue, brown) ink; 532 nm: red, tan, purple, orange, sky-blue and green ink | Spectra, RevLite SI, StarWalker MaQX | Used Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers |
| Q-switched ruby | 694 nm, often paired with 1064 and 532 nm Nd:YAG | Discovery Pico Plus 694 nm Q-switched: blue, sky-blue, black, green and violet ink | Astanza Trinity, Astanza Eternity, Discovery Pico Plus | n/a |
Ink color sets the wavelength: on the PicoWay's labelling, 532 nm is cleared for red, yellow and orange ink on Fitzpatrick I–III, and 730 nm and 785 nm for green and blue ink.
Some platforms do both pulse types: the PicoPlus delivers 1064 nm and 532 nm at 450 ps and 2 ns.
Laser surgical instruments for dermatology are Class II devices, so cleared models such as the PicoSure, PicoWay and PicoPlus are FDA-cleared through 510(k), not FDA-approved.

Service and warranty on a used tattoo laser
Cynosure Lutronic, which now sells the PicoSure, RevLite SI and Hollywood Spectra, promises a 24–48 hour technical response to warranty or service-contract customers.
Candela says there is no recertification fee on a Certified Pre-Owned PicoWay bought from Candela, but it does not publish the fee for a PicoWay bought from a third party.
Cynosure Lutronic's published warranty runs up to 12 months from installation and is non-transferable, so a second owner does not inherit it.
Used tattoo removal lasers questions
Are tattoo removal lasers FDA-approved?
No, they are FDA-cleared.
Aesthetic lasers are Class II devices cleared through 510(k) premarket notification, and the PicoSure, PicoWay and PicoPlus each have 510(k) clearances for tattoo removal.

On the PicoWay and PicoPlus, 1064 nm is the wavelength cleared for all skin types.
Their labelling clears 1064 nm for black, brown, green, blue and purple ink on Fitzpatrick I–VI, while 532 nm is limited to types I–III.
Who can buy a used tattoo removal laser?
Lasers are prescription devices, meant for use under a licensed practitioner.
Some states add purchase rules: Georgia defines lasers as devices that can be sold only to licensed practitioners with prescriptive authority.

Candela does not publish the recertification fee it charges when a used Candela laser is bought from a third party.
Ask Candela for the figure in writing before you pay.
