What is PicoWay Laser?
PicoWay Laser is a medical-grade light device that removes tattoos, marks, and signs of aging using ultra-fast energy pulses.
​
Unlike traditional lasers, PicoWay uses picosecond technology, which means each pulse lasts only a trillionth of a second. These short bursts break down tattoo ink in the skin without burning or damaging surrounding tissue. The body then naturally clears the broken-down particles over time.
​
This device was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Class II surgical laser for use in dermatology and general plastic surgery. It removes your tattoo, melasma, pigmented spots, wrinkles, and even acne scars, using different wavelengths for different needs. Treatments are suitable for many skin types, including darker tones.
​
Because it works fast and targets only problem areas, PicoWay reduces the number of sessions needed. The laser energy doesn’t overheat the skin, resulting in less discomfort, faster recovery, and a lower risk of side effects compared to older laser technologies.
​
Most importantly, PicoWay is not just for tattoos. Doctors also use it to smooth wrinkles, even out tone, and reduce marks left by sun damage or past acne. It provides non-surgical skin improvements without downtime.
How Does PicoWay Laser Work
PicoWay uses photoacoustic energy to break down ink particles into tiny pieces without harming surrounding tissue. This laser system breaks down tattoo pigment by delivering ultra-fast pulses of energy to the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional lasers that use heat, PicoWay uses photoacoustic pressure. These shock-like waves safely shatter ink into tiny particles without burning surrounding tissue.
​
1. Laser targets ink particles deep beneath the surface.
PicoWay is a handheld device that focuses picosecond pulses into the treated area. Each pulse lasts just a trillionth of a second, short enough to avoid heating the skin.
​
2. Photoacoustic energy breaks an ink pigment into tiny fragments.
The laser sends rapid acoustic waves through the pigment. These waves create mechanical pressure (not heat), cracking large ink clumps into smaller bits.
​
3. Your body gradually removes ink particles.
After treatment, your immune system begins removing the fragmented pigment through the lymphatic system. Over the course of a few weeks, the tattoo begins to fade.
​
4. Multiple colours and depths are targeted with different settings.
PicoWay uses several wavelengths to treat a wide range of tattoo colours. Each wavelength is matched to the corresponding shade, such as 532 nm for reds or 1064 nm for dark blues and blacks.
​
5. Each session reduces visible ink without harming tissue.
​
​
Because the laser doesn't rely on heat, it lowers the risk of burns or scars. Healing is often faster than with older technologies.

Our PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal Process
We perform precise laser removal in 5 simple steps.
​
1. We begin with a detailed consultation.
A technician examines the area and explains how many sessions you might need, based on the depth of pigment
and colour.
​
2. We clean and prepare your skin.
We disinfect the area and may use numbing cream to reduce discomfort.
​
3. We use PicoWay's handheld device to deliver ultra-short pulses.
The laser targets pigment below the surface using photoacoustic waves, which break the colour into small particles.
​
4. Your body begins to clear the treated area.
Over time, the immune system naturally removes the fragmented pigment.
​
5. We plan follow-up treatments if needed.
The tattoo fades gradually with repeated sessions spaced several weeks apart.
How to Take Care of Your Skin After PicoWay Laser Tattoo Removal
1. Keep the area clean and dry. Gently rinse with water. Pat the skin—do not rub or scrub.
2. Apply Aquaphor or healing ointment 2–3 times a day.
This keeps the area moist and protects the surface as it heals.
3. Cover the spot with non-stick gauze. Use Telfa pads to prevent friction or irritation from clothing.
4. Avoid direct sun exposure. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen with zinc oxide if you plan to go outside.
5. Avoid hot tubs, pools, or activities that cause heavy sweating. Wait 2–7 days before resuming workouts or swimming.
6. Do not scratch or peel scabs. Allow the skin to heal naturally to minimize scarring.
7. Contact your provider if you notice redness, pus, or swelling. This could be a sign of infection and needs quick attention.

Yes, skin types I to VI can be treated safely with PicoWay. The laser operates at different wavelengths to adapt to pigment colours and skin tones, making it safer for darker complexions than older technologies.
