Cosette Roussy · Published on 07 September 2026

Buy a diode laser or a Pico laser? Compare two premium laser devices for your beauty salon and find the right technology for hair removal, tattoo removal and pigmentation treatments.

News Diodenlaser oder Picolaser

Whoever wants to build or expand a professional beauty salon today will sooner or later face the question: Which laser device best fits my treatment offering?

Two technologies are especially common: diode lasers for permanent hair removal and Pico or picosecond lasers for tattoo, PMU and pigmentation treatments.

If you are looking to buy a diode laser or buy a Pico laser, it is worth comparing the applications, target groups and advantages of both systems carefully.

At EY Esthetic, the EY Laser Premium Pro 3 Wavelengths and the EY PicoPro 350 are two professional premium devices designed for different treatment focuses.

Buy a diode laser: ideal for professional hair removal

A diode laser is particularly interesting for salons that want to offer professional permanent hair removal or expand their existing treatment range.

The EY Laser Premium Pro 3 Wavelengths combines the wavelengths 755 nm, 808 nm and 1064 nm. This allows different skin and hair types to be treated in a targeted way.

For many salons, hair removal is especially attractive because it is a regularly requested treatment and can be integrated well into an existing service portfolio over the long term.

Who should consider buying a diode laser?

A diode laser is particularly suitable for:

  • newly established beauty salons
  • existing salons looking to expand their treatment range
  • institutes focused on permanent hair removal
  • salons looking to replace older laser technology
  • beauty professionals who want to offer a highly demanded treatment

If you want to buy a diode laser, you should not only consider the purchase price. Device training, service, installation, warranty and a reliable contact person are just as important.

EY Laser Premium Pro 3 Wavelengths

The EY Laser Premium Pro was developed for professional use in beauty salons and aesthetic institutes.

Key features include:

  • three wavelengths: 755, 808 and 1064 nm
  • suitable for different skin and hair types
  • modern user interface
  • powerful cooling system
  • professional device training
  • free delivery and installation
  • Swiss customer service
  • flexible financing options

Buy a Pico laser: for tattoo, PMU and pigmentation treatments

A Pico laser follows a different approach from a diode laser.

While a diode laser is mainly used for hair removal, a Pico or picosecond laser is intended for salons and practices that want to offer tattoo removal, permanent make-up removal or pigmentation treatments.

If you are planning to buy a Pico laser, you should therefore first consider whether these treatment areas fit your target group and your existing salon concept.

What is a picosecond laser?

A picosecond laser works with extremely short light pulses in the picosecond range.

This technology is especially used for treatments where pigments need to be targeted precisely.

The EY PicoPro 350 was developed for professional tattoo, PMU and pigmentation treatments.

Who should consider buying a Pico laser?

A picosecond laser is particularly suitable for:

  • beauty salons with tattoo or PMU clients
  • aesthetic practices
  • salons offering pigmentation treatments
  • existing laser centers
  • institutes looking to expand their portfolio with specialized laser treatments

If you want to buy a picosecond laser, training, service and long-term support should be just as important as the technology itself.

EY PicoPro 350

The EY PicoPro 350 is a professional picosecond laser for beauty salons and aesthetic practices.

It is suitable for applications including:

  • tattoo removal
  • permanent make-up removal
  • pigmentation treatments

With the PicoPro 350, EY Esthetic customers also benefit from personal consultation, training, delivery, installation and support.

Diode laser or Pico laser: what is the difference?

The two technologies should not be seen as direct competitors because they are designed for different treatments.

Diode laserPico laser

Permanent hair removal

Tattoo removal

Treatment of different skin and hair types

PMU removal

High demand in traditional beauty salons

Pigmentation treatments

Broad target group

More specialized treatment area

If you buy a diode laser, the main focus is professional hair removal.

If you buy a Pico laser, the focus is mainly on tattoo, PMU and pigmentation treatments.

For larger salons or institutes, both technologies can also be interesting in the long term, as they complement each other well.

Which laser device is right for my beauty salon?

The right decision depends strongly on your business model.

If your clients frequently ask for hair removal, a diode laser is often the more obvious investment.

If, on the other hand, you already serve many clients in the areas of tattoos, permanent make-up or pigmentation treatments, a Pico laser may be a better fit.

Before buying, you should consider questions such as:

  • Which treatments are most frequently requested by my clients?
  • Which services do I already offer?
  • Which target group do I want to reach in the future?
  • How much potential is there in my region?
  • What training and support do I receive after the purchase?
  • Are financing options available?
  • What technical support is provided?

Buying a laser device for a beauty salon: don't focus only on price

A professional laser device is a long-term investment.

That is why the purchase decision should not be based on price alone.

When buying a laser device for a beauty salon, the following factors are especially important:

Professional training

A high-quality device can only deliver good results if it is used correctly.

Comprehensive device training provides confidence in daily use and helps ensure treatments are carried out professionally.

Reliable service

A contact person should still be available after the purchase.

Technical support, spare parts and maintenance are important factors for reliable salon operations.

Installation and commissioning

Professional installation helps ensure that the device is set up correctly and can be used immediately.

Flexible financing

Especially with high-quality cosmetic devices, financing can help make investments more manageable and protect the salon's liquidity.

Buy a diode laser in Switzerland

If you want to buy a diode laser in Switzerland, having a local contact person is a major advantage.

Short communication channels, personal support and a service partner in Switzerland can be more important in the long term than simply choosing the lowest purchase price.

EY Esthetic supports salons from device selection and training through to installation and after-sales support.

Buy a Pico laser in Switzerland

When you buy a Pico laser in Switzerland, consultation and support are equally important.

Especially with specialized laser treatments, the device should not be considered in isolation. Training, application safety and technical support are all part of a professional overall solution.

With the EY PicoPro 350, EY Esthetic offers a solution for salons and practices looking to expand their range in tattoo, PMU and pigmentation treatments.
