Does Fotona StarWalker do picosecond laser treatment?

Question

I have recently been to a clinic using Fotona StarWalker MaQX and they told me that this is picosecond laser. Yet I did a bit research myself online and starting to doubt that they provided misleading information. I just want to make sure that the laser I am having is the genuine picosecond laser rather than some other laser which probably does the same job if that makes sense. Could any experts here please clarify for me? Thank you very much.

Power of a pico Laser with an Energy of a Q-Switched LaserStarWalker’s unique TMD (Transverse Mode Discrimination) laser oscillator technology combined with the ASP pulse control delivers very short (5 nsec) Q-switched pulses consisting of a high energy train of ultra-short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second, enabling photomechanical impact to shatter tiny skin targets without injury to the surrounding skin. StarWalker’s technology thus combines the high energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers with the ultrashort pulse peak powers of traditional picosecond lasers.
