What is PicoWay® Laser?
The PicoWay laser system is FDA, CE, and TGA cleared. The device uses a picosecond laser beam with high power and ultra-short pulses to transform your skin from the inside out! The PicoWay laser treats acne scars, wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions (dark spots), and removes black and multi-color tattoos.
The PicoWay laser first became known for its tattoo and pigment removal capabilities, but it continues to grow in use for acne scars and wrinkles. The PicoWay laser uses different handpieces and laser wavelengths for treatment of these conditions, which your treatment provider will use according to what’s right for you and your skin.
PicoWay Benefits
1. Pigmentation Disorders
Treatable Conditions:
-
Freckles
-
Sun spots / Age spots (Lentigines)
-
Melasma
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
-
Dermal pigmentation (e.g., Nevus of Ota)
-
Uneven skin tone or blotchy complexion
Why PicoWay:
PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses that break pigment into tiny particles with less heat, reducing the risk of burns or post-treatment darkening — especially important for Asian and darker skin types. It provides precise pigment removal with minimal damage to surrounding skin and very low risk of scarring or recurrence.
2. Acne Scars & Post-Acne Pigmentation
Treatable Conditions:
-
Atrophic acne scars (pitted scars)
-
Post-acne pigmentation (brown or red spots)
-
Residual redness or discoloration from past breakouts
Why PicoWay:
The PicoWay Resolve handpiece delivers fractionated energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the dermis, helping to smooth pitted scars and reduce discoloration. Non-ablative and safe, this treatment is ideal for those seeking visible results without downtime.
3. Skin Texture & Fine Lines
Treatable Conditions:
-
Rough or uneven skin texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Fine lines (e.g., under-eye lines)
Why PicoWay:
By promoting natural skin remodeling, PicoWay helps refine skin texture and improve surface smoothness. The treatment is gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for regular maintenance or early anti-aging care — with no flaking or peeling.
4. Tattoo Removal (Multi-Color)
Treatable Conditions:
-
Black, blue, red, green, and multi-colored tattoos

Cosmetic tattoos (eyebrows, eyeliner – with medical evaluation)
