Picasso Plus and Picasso Lite Plus lasers employ semiconductor diodes as a laser energy source. The energy is delivered to the operating area by means of a delivery system consisting of a flexible fiber connecting the laser source and the handpiece. The laser delivery used may be in the form of strippable fiber or a multi-tip handpiece that is used in conjunction with disposable tips. The device is activated by means of a wireless footswitch.
