Tattoo Removal with PicoWay Laser System
PicoWay® is an advanced laser treatment for tattoo removal and pigmented lesions.
The PicoWay® hand piece delivers short, ultra pulses of energy that are so fast, they are measured in “Pico seconds” that are trillionths of a second. This ultra fast delivery of concentrated high-powered energy helps ensure ink is effectively shattered while the least amount of heat is transferred to the skin which is one of the reasons it is safer for darker skin types.
Since the PicoWay® pulses are fast, there is also minimal discomfort during the treatment. Find out more information on this treatment: https://contourderm.com/picoway-laser/
PicoWay Laser is a Multi-Faceted Laser
In addition to clearing unwanted tattoos, the PicoWay® Laser System is valued for its adaptability and safety on a wide range of skin tones and ink colors. Using three wavelength options – 532 nm, 785 nm, and 1064 nm—it can address a variety of pigments, from lighter reds and yellows to more challenging shades like blue, green, and purple. Its ultra-fast picosecond pulses break ink into minuscule particles that the body can naturally process, often allowing for fewer treatments compared to older laser technologies, with less discomfort and shorter recovery times.
The PicoWay’s gentle yet targeted approach also promotes smoother healing and helps maintain skin health. By focusing energy precisely on the ink and sparing surrounding tissue from excess heat, the system lowers the chance of unwanted side effects, such as pigmentation changes or scarring—particularly in patients with richer skin tones. Most people describe the feeling as a quick snapping sensation, and many resume normal activities right after their session. With each appointment, gradual fading becomes more noticeable as the body continues to clear the ink, providing a comfortable and effective path toward clearer skin.
