Candela PicoWay

Advanced Picosecond Laser System for Tattoo Removal, Skin Rejuvenation, and Pigmentation

The Candela PicoWay is a revolutionary, dual-wavelength picosecond laser system designed for high-precision tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesion treatment, and non-ablative skin rejuvenation. Engineered with ultra-short pulse durations measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), PicoWay delivers energy in a way that shatters pigment with minimal heat, reducing discomfort and downtime while maximizing results across all skin types.

Widely trusted by dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners, the PicoWay is FDA-cleared for a range of indications and has become a gold standard in multi-colored tattoo removal and treatment of stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Key Features:

• Picosecond Pulse Duration:
  Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, PicoWay uses ultra-short pulses that break pigment into smaller particles more efficiently, improving clearance and reducing thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

• Multiple Wavelengths for Versatility:

  • 1064 nm – For dark inks and deep pigment (safe for all skin types)

  • 532 nm – For red, orange, and yellow tattoos or superficial pigment

  • 730 nm (optional) – For difficult-to-treat blue and green tattoos

  • 785 nm (optional) – For additional pigment versatility

• Resolve® Fractional Technology:
  Available handpieces for skin revitalization and textural improvements, such as acne scars and fine lines. These fractional, non-ablative treatments create micro-zones of laser-induced healing with low downtime.

• Safe for All Skin Types:
  The ultra-fast, low-thermal delivery makes PicoWay safe for treating patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), minimizing the risk of PIH.

• Proven Patient Satisfaction:
  Clinical studies show high patient satisfaction rates due to minimal pain, fewer treatment sessions, and faster recovery compared to traditional Q-switched lasers.

Clinical Applications:

• Multi-color tattoo removal (including resistant colors like blue and green)

• Epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions (e.g., lentigines, freckles, café-au-lait spots)

• Melasma and PIH

• Acne scars and skin textural issues (using PicoWay Resolve)

• Skin rejuvenation and revitalization

• Wrinkle reduction (off-label in some regions)
