About PicoWay®
PicoWay is an advanced laser treatment offering fast results and virtually no downtime, making it ideal for treating a range of skin issues including dark spots, acne scars, and tattoo removal. The treatment utilizes ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy targeted at unwanted pigment while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. These pulses efficiently break up the pigment into smaller particles, which are then more easily eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
Coupled with high peak power and the shortest pulse duration, PicoWay not only removes tattoos but also effectively tackles dark spots and acne scars, offering a comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation.

FAQ
There is usually no downtime after a PicoWay laser treatment. Minor redness or swelling in the treated area may appear temporarily. Post-treatment skincare is recommended for enhanced skin rejuvenation results.
We apply topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure patient comfort. If needed, additional pain management methods can be utilized to minimize discomfort during the PicoWay procedure.
Treatment needs can vary, but generally, 4-6 sessions of PicoWay are recommended to achieve the best results in tattoo removal and pigmentation correction.
PicoWay stands out for its use of picosecond laser technology with high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations. This generates a photoacoustic effect, as opposed to a photothermal effect that heats the skin. This results in high patient satisfaction and typically low to no downtime post-treatment.
Picoway utilizes ultra-short pulse durations, making it more effective in breaking down pigments and tattoo inks than traditional lasers.

Both Picoway and Picosure are FDA-approved picosecond lasers used for skin treatments like tattoo removal and pigmentation correction. Picoway has shorter pulse durations and offers more wavelength options, making it versatile for treating various tattoo colors and skin types. It uses photoacoustic effects, compared to Picosure’s photothermal technology, potentially offering quicker recovery and fewer sessions for similar results.
