What is PicoWay Tattoo Removal?
The PicoWay, developed by Candela Medical, is a picosecond laser that uses ultra-short and fast pulses to fragment pigments beneath the skin. These fragmented pigments are then naturally eliminated by the body. The PicoWay is designed to remove all types of tattoos, regardless of their age, size, color, or location. With its three wavelengths, the PicoWay is also capable of removing complex tattoos that are difficult to treat with other laser technologies.
The PicoWay is also highly effective for permanent makeup removal, specifically for eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner, providing a quick and safe solution for those who want to modify or eliminate their permanent makeup.
Benefits of Tattoo Removal and Permanent Makeup Removal with PicoWay
- Removes all tattoo colors: PicoWay is effective for all tattoo pigments, including difficult colors such as blue, green, yellow, brown, and orange.
- Effective on all skin types: Whether your skin is light or dark, PicoWay is designed to be effective and safe on all skin types.
- Fewer sessions required: Due to the speed and effectiveness of PicoWay, fewer sessions are required compared to other laser technologies. You will see visible results after just 2 to 6 sessions.
- Shorter sessions: The PicoWay offers shorter treatment sessions than other lasers, usually taking less than 10 minutes.
- Less pain: The treatment is less painful than traditional lasers due to the photoacoustic effect of the picosecond pulses, which generates less heat.
- Faster recovery time: After each session, the skin heals more quickly, allowing you to resume your normal activities without delay.
How the PicoWay Laser Works and Safety
The PicoWay uses ultra-fast picosecond pulses, which are 1,000 times faster than traditional laser pulses. These pulses fragment the tattoo pigments into microparticles that the body naturally eliminates. Thanks to this photoacoustic effect (which generates minimal heat), the PicoWay minimizes the risk of side effects and burns while being highly effective for treating colored pigments.
The pulses are so fast that very little heat is generated, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This makes PicoWay a highly effective and safe treatment option, ideal for those looking to eliminate their tattoos without scars or complications.
PicoWay Laser Wavelengths and Tattoo Colors Treated
The PicoWay is the only picosecond laser offering three different wavelengths, designed to treat all tattoo colors, including the most difficult to remove:
- 1064 nm: Ideal for colors like violet, brown, black, and yellow.
- 532 nm: Perfect for reds, oranges, and browns.
- 785 nm: Specifically designed for greens and blues.
These different wavelengths allow for precise targeting of pigment colors with exceptional accuracy.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Optimal Results?
The number of sessions required for optimal results depends on several factors, including the size, location, and color of the tattoo. On average, 2 to 6 sessions are required to remove a tattoo, with intervals of 3 to 4 weeks between each session. For permanent makeup removal, it generally takes between 2 to 6 sessions as well, with intervals of 4 to 5 weeks between each session.
Is PicoWay Tattoo Removal Painful?
The PicoWay was designed to minimize discomfort. During the treatment, you will feel a slight tingling or snapping sensation on the skin, similar to an elastic band snapping. Most patients do not need anesthesia, but for those who are particularly sensitive, we can apply a topical anesthetic 30 minutes before the session to minimize discomfort.
Aftercare Following PicoWay Treatment
After each session, it is essential to follow these recommendations:
- Apply a cold compress to soothe the treated area.
- Protect your skin from the sun by using a SPF 50 sunscreen.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and pools for the first 10 days after the session.
- Hydrate the skin regularly to promote skin regeneration.

The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the size, color, age, and depth of the tattoo. On average, 2 to 6 sessions are required for visible results. More complex tattoos, like those with blue or green ink, may require additional sessions. For permanent eyebrow makeup removal, it typically takes between 2 to 6 sessions, with 4 to 5-week intervals between treatments. During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized estimate.
The PicoWay treatment is generally well-tolerated by most patients. You will feel a slight tingling or snapping sensation on the skin, similar to a rubber band snapping. Most patients do not require anesthesia, but for those who are more sensitive, we can apply a topical anesthetic 30 minutes before the session to minimize discomfort.
Yes, with the PicoWay laser, it is possible to completely remove a tattoo, even those made with difficult-to-remove inks like blue, green, and yellow. However, the depth and density of the pigments influence the duration of the treatment. Some older tattoos or tattoos with very deep ink may require additional sessions to achieve complete removal. After the treatment, you will see a significant reduction in the tattoo’s visibility, and in some cases, it may disappear completely.
Yes, the PicoWay is one of the few lasers capable of removing all tattoo colors, including the most complex and resistant ones like green, blue, yellow, brown, and orange. The PicoWay offers three specific wavelengths (1064 nm, 532 nm, 785 nm) that target different pigments and types of ink, making it an effective solution for multicolored tattoos, including those with complex ink formulations.
No, one of the major benefits of PicoWay is that it generally does not leave scars. Unlike traditional lasers, PicoWay generates minimal heat, allowing pigments to be removed without damaging surrounding skin. The process of pigment fragmentation breaks the ink into microparticles that are naturally eliminated by your lymphatic system. This significantly reduces the risk of burns or visible scars. In rare cases, temporary skin discoloration may occur, but it typically fades over time.
After each session, the recovery time is very short. Generally, you can resume normal activities immediately. However, it’s important to follow a few post-treatment precautions:
- Apply a cold compress to soothe the treated area.
- Protect your skin from the sun by using SPF 50 sunscreen.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and pools for 10 days after the session.
- Hydrate your skin regularly to promote regeneration.
The treated area may appear red or discolored temporarily, but these effects typically fade after a few days.
Yes, after PicoWay tattoo removal, it is generally possible to get a new tattoo on the treated area, once the skin has fully healed. We recommend waiting 6 to 8 weeks after the last treatment to ensure full healing. This allows the skin to return to its normal texture and appearance before getting a new tattoo.
