PicoWay is a Candela picosecond laser that uses photoacoustic energy across three wavelengths to target pigment and tattoo ink while limiting unnecessary heat in surrounding tissue.

PicoWay Laser

PicoWay is a Candela picosecond laser that uses short pulses and a photoacoustic effect to target pigment in the skin. With three wavelengths, it can be discussed for benign pigmented lesions, uneven tone, post-inflammatory pigment, selected acne scar texture, fine lines, and tattoo removal.

Pigmentation still needs diagnosis first, especially if a spot is new, changing, or atypical. The treatment plan depends on skin type, pigment risk, goals, and aftercare.

Questions

Can PicoWay treat any pigmentation straight away?

No. Pigmentation needs diagnosis first. Atypical or changing pigmented lesions should be assessed medically before any cosmetic laser treatment is considered.

Is PicoWay only for pigment?

No. Depending on the handpiece and settings, it may also be discussed for selected texture, acne scar, and fine line concerns.
