PicoWay
PicoWay, by Candela, is a picosecond laser used for pigment and tattoos; confirm wavelengths and the intended use.
How it works
PicoWay is a picosecond laser system from Candela. It delivers very short pulses at selectable wavelengths, intended to fragment pigment or ink particles while limiting heat to nearby tissue. Depending on the handpiece and settings, it can be used for pigment concerns, toning, and tattoos. The plan and response vary by person.
Good to know
- Ask which wavelength and mode are planned for your concern.
- Clarify how many sessions are anticipated and how progress is judged.
- Tell the doctor about melasma history, tanning, and photosensitizing medications.
- Redness, swelling, and small scabs can occur; pigment change and, rarely, scarring are possible.
Checking a PicoWay treatment before you book
Because one platform can be used for different purposes, the key is a plan tied to your concern, not to a machine name. Ask why this wavelength fits your pigment type.
If a clinic offers toning with a pico device, ask how that session differs from a spot treatment in intensity and downtime.
