CANDELA PICOWAY® TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Ultra-Fast Energy. Exceptional Precision.
Candela PicoWay® uses picosecond laser technology to shatter pigment particles through a photoacoustic effect rather than excessive heat. The fragmented pigment is then naturally cleared by the body over time.
This approach allows effective treatment of tattoos and unwanted pigmentation while minimizing thermal injury to surrounding tissue.
Every treatment is personalized to maximize clearance while protecting your skin.
OUR APPROACH
Technology is the Tool. Clinical Expertise Makes the Difference.
Not every pigment concern should be treated the same way.
Before recommending Candela PicoWay®, Dr. Scott Gerrish and our experienced clinical team evaluate:
- Pigment type and depth
- Skin tone
- Tattoo color and density
- Previous treatments
- Healing characteristics
- Long-term treatment goals
The goal isn’t simply removing pigment.
It’s preserving the beauty of the skin beneath it.
